Which of the following would be part of an aquatic ecosystem?

question 6 options:

amount of sunlight

temperature

plankton

sponges

Aquatic ecosystem has two components -

     2.Abiotic components

temperature and amount of sunlight are the part of abiotic component .

while living things like sponges and planktons are the biotic components of ecosystem.

Explanation:

aquatic components are of two types-

freshwater ecosystem( lakes and ponds, river and streams)

marine ecosystem(ocean ecosysyem, estuaries)

planktons-

planktons are found in limnetic zone, availability of sunlight is much here. planktons  are zooplanktons and phytoplanktons  are very important link in aquatic ecosystem.

sponges

In marine water, the benthic zone is the area below the pelagic zone. Here temperature decreased because of less light perception. This zone is very nutrient rich so organisms which are present here are- bacteria, fungi, sea anemone, sponges and some fishes.

 All of the given choices.

Explanation:

The ecosystem can be defined as the combination of the biotic and abiotic factors. The biotic factors consists of the living systems and the abiotic factors consists of the non living parts of the ecosystem.

The biotic part of the aquatic ecosystem is sponges and plankton. This is because they are living.

The abiotic part of the aquatic system consists of amount of sunlight ad temperature of water because they are non living.
