Garbage(3)? Freshly cut tree(4)?
NaCl (7) Iron (8) These substances can be found in living things… does that mean they are living? Water (9)

8 Characteristicsof Life • Biologists characterize life by these functions: • Nutrition • Transport • Respiration • Excretion • Synthesis • Regulation • Growth • Reproduction
Biotic / Abiotic • Biotic: living, once living, or from something living Examples: - Plants - Animals - Dead leaves - Bacteria - Scat (animal droppings)
Abiotic: non-living and never was living Examples: - Oxygen - Wind - Minerals - pH - Water - Rocks
Please make a t-chart in your notes (this time a quarter of a page) and list the biotic and abiotic factors in the following picture of a rotting log ecosystem. Use your imagination to identify things that just might be there…
