What are the Key Components of the Biological Environment?
Several key components make up the biological environment:
1. Microorganisms: These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. They can be pathogenic or beneficial. 2. Vectors: Insects and animals that transmit pathogens, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and rodents. 3. Hosts: The organisms (including humans) that harbor the pathogen. 4. Reservoirs: Places where pathogens live and multiply, such as soil, water, or animal populations.
