Question

question 48 1 pts biology is the study of life. would biologists study abiotic components in an ecosystem? no, biologists study only those living organisms which have a significant effect on the ecosystem. yes, understanding living organisms includes understanding the nonliving factors on which they depend. yes, biologists study all living organisms regardless of size. no, biologists only study living components of the ecosystem; the nonliving components would be studied by chemists or geologists.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, biotic (living) and abiotic (non - living) components are interconnected. For example, plants (biotic) depend on sunlight (abiotic) for photosynthesis. Biologists study life, but to understand living organisms fully, they need to consider the non - living factors (abiotic components) that these organisms depend on.

Answer:

Yes, understanding living organisms includes understanding the nonliving factors on which they depend.
