Document Summary
A. (3 marks) in class we defined environment to include biotic and abiotic components, the built environment, and social/cultural institutions. Answer: (1 mark for each of three reasonable ways that social/cultural institutions influence the natural environment. Specific examples are not necessarily required, but how each of them is connected to the natural environment needs to be clear. ) There are other possible examples; the connection to the natural environment should be clear. b. (1 mark) name one biotic and one abiotic component of the natural environment. Answer: (0. 5 marks for biotic; 0. 5 marks for abiotic not necessary to define them, just give an example. They need to be examples from the natural environment, not from the built environment, so buildings is not an appropriate example of an abiotic component, for example. ) Biotic: (anything living) possible examples include tree, bird, moss, deer, fish, etc.
