QUARTER 2 - MODULE 5: BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC COMPONENTS OF AN

ECOSYSTEM

Activity 1
A. Instructions: Read the statements carefully then write True if the statement is correct
and write False if you think the statement is incorrect.

____________1. An abiotic component is a living part of an ecosystem that

shapes its environment.
____________2. Plant, mushroom, and animals are examples of abiotic
components of an ecosystem.
____________3. Abiotic components are very important to the biotic
components of the ecosystem.
____________4. A cow that is a living thing can survive without water and air.
____________5. Wildfires, earthquakes and building constructions are major
environmental disturbances.
____________6. Oxygen is used in the process of respiration in our cells.
____________7. Water is unimportant to survival of life.
____________8. Plant conducts the process of photosynthesis without the
presence of sunlight.
____________9. Humans can lessen its disturbance to the abiotic
components of an ecosystem by contaminating the bodies of water.
____________10. Earthquake is a major environmental disturbance to the
abiotic components of an ecosystem.

B. Directions: Read the paragraph below and fill in the correct word/phrase from the
word pool.

decomposers biotic producers consumers ecosystem

components

The environment that the living organisms live in is called a/an

1__________. Living things are also known
as 2__________. These components include 3__________ or autotrophs
that can make their own food by converting energy coming from the sun
into food. 4__________ or heterotrophs are organisms that depend on
other organisms for food. An example is a goat eating a grass. The other
organisms that can decay or decompose other living organisms by breaking
down chemicals into simpler forms are called 5__________.
 ACTIVITY 2: Picture Eco-tour
Directions: Examine each given ecosystem. Then, classify the components into
biotic or abiotic by writing your answers in the table below.

Pond ecosystem

Forest ecosystem

Ecosystem Biotic Components Abiotic Components

Pond (aquatic)
 Forest (terrestrial)

Guide Questions:
1. How does human activity affect each biotic or abiotic factor?

2. Which biotic factor in a forest ecosystem serves as a habitat for many animals?

3. How are trees affected by human activities?

4. How does this impact the animals in the ecosystem that rely on those trees?
