Question

What are the interactions that happen in a pond?

Answer 1

• In a pond, biotic components include the plants, fishes and insects while abiotic components include sunlight, air, soil, rocks and water.
• Small plants in pond prepare their own food, in presence of sunlight and carbon dioxide from atmosphere whereas rocks provide shelter to the fishes which are biotic-abiotic type of interactions.
• In addition, biotic-biotic interactions happen too. Plants attract insects for the fishes to feed on. Some fishes feed on the plants. And large fishes feed on the small fishes.
