Biotic components comprising living organism i.e. animal, plant, bacteria while Abiotic components comprising i.e. non-living thing. Among the given options, climate is not a biotic factor of the ecosystem. An ecosystem contains- Biotic Factor- (a) Producers–Manufacture their own food. Under it all green trees and plant comes. (b) Consumers–They depend on the producer for food. They are placed in the following category- (i) Primary Consumers–Receive their food directly from the producer. They are vegetarians e.g. Cow, Goats etc. (ii) Secondary Consumers–Receive their food from primary consumers e.g. Cat eats rat. (iii) Tertiary consumers–They get their food from secondary consumers e.g. Human (c) Decomposers–They get their food from dead body of producer and consumers e.g. Fungi.
