Detailed explanation-1: -Biotic potential is the ability of a population of living species to increase under ideal environmental conditions – sufficient food supply, no predators, and a lack of disease. An organism’s rate of reproduction and the size of each litter are the primary determining factors for biotic potential.
Detailed explanation-2: -A biotic factor is a living organism and can affect population size of a species in an ecosystem. Biotic factors include predators, parasites, food supply, competition and human impacts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ecosystems are influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors include animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and protists. Some examples of abiotic factors are water, soil, air, sunlight, temperature, and minerals.
