Question

using complete sentences, compare and contrast the terms living and biotic. in your response, illustrate using examples and appropriate compare - and - contrast vocabulary.

Explanation:

Both "living" and "biotic" relate to life. "Living" refers to organisms that are alive, like a tree or a dog. "Biotic" encompasses all living and once - living components in an ecosystem. For example, a fallen log (once - living) is biotic but not living. So, "living" is a subset of "biotic".

Answer:

Both terms relate to life. "Living" = currently alive (e.g., a squirrel). "Biotic" = includes living and once - living (e.g., a dead leaf). So, all living things are biotic, but not all biotic things are living.
