Question

sunlight and moisture are examples of which of the following? biotic, living components of an ecosystem trophic levels abiotic, nonliving components of an ecosystem

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: Biotic components are living (e.g., plants, animals). Sunlight and moisture are non - living, so this option is incorrect.
2. Analyze the second option: Trophic levels refer to the position of organisms in a food chain (e.g., producers, consumers). Sunlight and moisture are not related to trophic levels, so this option is incorrect.
3. Analyze the third option: Abiotic components are non - living factors in an ecosystem. Sunlight (a form of energy) and moisture (related to water, a non - living substance) are non - living, so this option is correct.

Answer:

C. abiotic, nonliving components of an ecosystem (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C as per the order: first option A, second B, third C)
