Biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem. The following characteristics from your list apply to biotic factors:

1. **Can adapt and respond** - Living organisms can adapt to their environment and respond to stimuli.
2. **Uses and obtains energy** - Biotic organisms require energy to survive and obtain it through various means (e.g., photosynthesis, consumption of food).
3. **Is made of cells** - All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
4. **Can grow and develop** - Living organisms have the ability to grow and go through various stages of development.

The statement **"Cannot reproduce"** is not a characteristic of biotic factors, as living organisms typically have the ability to reproduce, although some may be sterile or incapable of reproduction in certain conditions.
