Which of the following statements about biotic and abiotic components is FALSE?

hard Q9 of 15
General Science - Physics (Basics)
Which of the following statements about biotic and abiotic components is FALSE?
AAbiotic components include temperature and minerals
BAbiotic components can reproduce to increase their population
CBiotic components include fungi and bacteria
DBiotic components interact with abiotic components to maintain ecosystem balance
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Recall characteristics of abiotic and biotic components

    Abiotic components are non-living and cannot reproduce. Biotic components are living and can reproduce.
  2. Step 2: Analyze each statement

    Statements about abiotic components including temperature and minerals, and biotic components including fungi and bacteria are true. Interaction maintaining ecosystem balance is also true. Only the statement about abiotic components reproducing is false.
  3. Step 3: Explain why other options are correct

    Temperature and minerals are abiotic; fungi and bacteria are living organisms; ecosystem balance depends on biotic-abiotic interactions.
  4. Final Answer:

    Abiotic components can reproduce to increase their population → Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    Abiotic reproduction = Not possible ✅
Quick Trick: Abiotic components do not reproduce or grow.
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming abiotic factors can reproduce like living organisms.
