Detailed explanation-1: -Biotic Factors in the Desert. Biotic factors, also called the biota, are the living organisms in a region, such as plants, animals, insects, fungi, and microbes. Along with the abiotic factors, they form an ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-2: -A biotic factor is a living organism that shapes its environment. In a freshwater ecosystem, examples might include aquatic plants, fish, amphibians, and algae.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biotic factors are grouped by scientists into three major groups, which define their role in the flow of energy which all living things in the ecosystem need to survive. These groups are producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis (Figure 1). Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (literally, “self-feeders using light”).
