2.
3.
4.

1.
2.
3.

1. air

2.
3.
using complete sentences

Explanation:

Part 1: Identify biotic components (living or once - living organisms)

1. Squirrel (given)
2. Grass (visible in the image, it is a plant, so a biotic component)
3. Trees (the larger plants with branches and leaves in the image, biotic as they are living plants)
4. Bushes (the smaller, dense plants in the image, biotic)
5. Leaves (they were part of a living plant, so biotic even if they are on the ground now)

Part 2: Identify abiotic components (non - living components)

1. Soil (the ground material, non - living)
2. Rocks (visible in the image, non - living)
3. Water (not directly visible but in an ecosystem, water is essential; or the pavement which is a non - living man - made structure, but if we consider natural abiotic, water is a better choice. If we take the pavement, it's also non - living)

Part 3: List other ecosystem components not in the image

1. Air (given)
2. Decomposers (like bacteria and fungi, which are part of the ecosystem but not visible)
3. Other animals (like birds, insects which are part of the ecosystem but not in the image)

For the last part (assuming it's about interactions, though the question is cut off)

If we assume the question is about interactions between biotic and abiotic components: The squirrel (biotic) interacts with the soil (abiotic) as it moves on it, and with the grass (biotic) as it might forage for food. The grass (biotic) interacts with the soil (abiotic) to get nutrients and with the air (abiotic) to perform photosynthesis. The trees (biotic) interact with the rocks (abiotic) as the roots might grow around them and with the air (abiotic) for gas exchange.
