Answers: Biotic Factors Biotic, meaning of or related to life, are living factors. Plants, animals, fungi, protist and bacteria are all biotic or living factors. Abiotic Factors Abiotic, meaning not alive, are nonliving factors that affect living organisms.

The interplay of all the biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem determines the carrying capacity of that ecosystem for any particular species.
