The correct answer is option 1: 1 and 2
Here's a breakdown of the statements:
- Statement 1: This is true. The environment is defined as the totality of all resources and the planet's inheritance. It encompasses everything that surrounds us, including natural resources, ecosystems, and the physical and chemical conditions that exist on Earth.
- Statement 2: This is also true. The environment is composed of biotic and abiotic components. Biotic components are the living organisms, such as plants, animals, microorganisms, and humans. Abiotic components are the non-living parts of the environment, such as air, water, soil, rocks, and sunlight.
- Statement 3: This is false. The statement is reversed. Biotic elements include living things like plants and animals, while abiotic elements include non-living things like rocks and sunlight.
