The two-component of the biosphere are
A)Biotic and Abiotic
B)Plants and animals
C)Algae and fungi
D)None of the above

Explanation

Solution

Our biosphere consists of two components. The first one has a direct or indirect influence on an organism and is living things. The second is non-living things and includes chemical and physical elements.

Complete answer:
An ecosystem is a group composed of living and nonliving things and their interaction with each other. -They can be artificial or natural. Every ecosystem has two biotic components and abiotic components.
-Biotic components refer to all living organisms in ecology while abiotic refers to the nonliving things.
Components of biosphere
Biotic components- These may influence the other organisms directly or indirectly in an environment. It includes plants, microorganisms, and their waste products.

Abiotic component- Our biosphere includes all chemical and physical elements. These all are nonliving components. Abiotic components are different and depend on regions to regions and also from one ecosystem to another. They mainly play a role to support life. It decides and limits the growth of population, their number, and diversity of biotic factors in a biosphere. Hence they are also called limiting factors.

Additional Information: biotic components can be classified into three categories-
Producer-these includes all the autotrophs. They use solar energy and make food on their own. Example plants, green algae, etc.
Consumers- includes all the heterotrophs that directly or indirectly depend on producers for their food. They are again divided as herbivorous, carnivorous, omnivorous, and parasites.
Decomposers-this includes saprophytes, decomposes dead matter for their nutrition.
So, the correct answer is, "biotic and abiotic".

Note: -The connection between biotic and abiotic components in the environment appears when they start interacting with each other.
-The interaction between the biotic and abiotic components maintains the balance and stability in the environment.
