Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about ecosystems in school. What are some examples of biotic factors?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Biotic factors are living things in an ecosystem. Examples include plants, animals, fungi, and even tiny microorganisms like bacteria.<|im_end|>

What about abiotic factors? What are those?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Abiotic factors are non-living things in an ecosystem. Examples include water, sunlight, temperature, and soil.<|im_end|>

So, how do biotic and abiotic factors interact in an ecosystem?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
They interact in many ways. For example, plants (biotic) need sunlight (abiotic) to grow, and animals (biotic) need water (abiotic) to survive.<|im_end|>
