Question

Choose the incorrect statement about the ecosystem.

• A. Abiotic components cannot exist without the biotic components.
• B. Biotic components cannot exist without the abiotic components.
• C. Abiotic components rely completely on the biotic components for their nutrition.
• D. The biotic components are more in volume than the abiotic components.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Biotic components cannot exist without the abiotic components.

The biotic components cannot exist without abiotic components as they rely on them for all their basic needs. For example, animals (biotic) need water and air (abiotic) to survive. However, the abiotic components can exist without biotic components as they are non-living in nature.
