CBSEENBI12001122

Name the major abiotic factors and state their importance.

Solution
Environmental factors. These include :

1. Light. 2. Temperature. 3. Water. 4. Soil. 

1. Importance of light. It is important for photosynthesis, flowering in plants, plant growth, metabolism, and periodicity.

2. Effect of temperature. It is the most important factor affecting almost all activities of organisms. 

3. Effect of Water- Water is essential for life. It covers more than 70% of the earth’s surface and forms the most extensive habitat for the organisms. Types of plants and animals distributed in water bodies greatly depends upon the nature of water (fresh-water or sea water). Land plants derive water from the soil while the land animals derive water from pools, ponds, lakes, rivers, springs etc.

4.Effect of Soil - Soil provides the necessary nutrition and minerals for the growth of plants and also provides shelter to anumber of organisms.
