The organisms that live around a pond interact with biotic and abiotic factors. Which of the following is a biotic factor of the pond environment?
A
muddy soil
B
cattail plants
C
slowly flowing water
D
warm temperatures
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biotic factors include all living organisms in a pond ecosystem, such as viruses, bacteria, plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a typical waste stabilization pond ecosystem, the principal abiotic components are oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and nutrients, whereas the biotic components include bacteria, protozoa, and a variety of other organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abiotic and biotic factors combine to create a system or, more precisely, an ecosystem, meaning a community of living and nonliving things considered as a unit. In this case, abiotic factors span as far as the pH of the soil and water, types of nutrients available and even the length of the day.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sunlight, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, colour, and turbidity are examples of non-living or abiotic variables (i.e., water clarity). These features, when combined, not only identify one pond from another, but also have a direct impact on the pond’s output.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is a freshwater ecosystem in which the various organisms rely on one another. The biotic factors of the pond ecosystem are classified into three categories. They are known as producers, consumers, and decomposers. Algae and hydrophytic plants are the two types of producers.
