All living organisms have basic needs. As a result, the number and kind of organisms that an ecosystem can support are limited by the available resources in that ecosystem.

Which of the following is a living factor that influences the survival of an organism in an ecosystem?

amount of water
temperature range
amount of sunlight
other organisms
soil composition

Answer 1

The living factor that influences the survival of an organism in an ecosystem from the options provided is **other organisms**. The other options (amount of water, temperature range, amount of sunlight, and soil composition) are considered abiotic factors, which are non-living components that can also impact an organism's survival but are not living influences.
