Title: ECOSYSTEM
Description: An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. Biotic factors include plants, animals, and other organisms.

ECOSYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Ecosystem is a biological community where the living and non-living
components interact with each other as their physical environment
...
Types of Ecosystem
1
...
Eg- Running water, standing water, Marine ecosystem
b) Terrestrial Ecosystem

STRUCTURE (or) COMPONENTS OF AN ECOSYSTEM
The structure of an ecosystem explains the relationship between the abiotic
(non –living) and the biotic (living)
components
...
• Biotic (living) components
...
Biotic components
The living organisms (or) living members in an ecosystem collectively form its
community called biotic components (or) biotic community
...
The
members of biotic components of an ecosystem are grouped in to three, based
on how they get food
...
They are the source of all food in an ecosystem
...
In freshwater and marine ecosystems, algae and
plants are the major producers near shorelines
...
Most producers capture sunlight to make carbohydrates (such as glucose) by
photosynthesis
...
6CO2 + 12H2O ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 +6H2O
...
Primary consumers : Are those that eat producers (plants) as a source of food
...
Secondary consumers or carnivores : Eat other animals
...
Quaternary Consumers : Largest Carnivores that feed on tertiary consumers
...
Omnivores : Have mixed diet that include both plants and animals
...
They do this by breaking down (biodegrading) dead organic
material to get nutrients and releasing the resulting simpler inorganic
compounds into the soil and water, where they can be taken up as nutrients by
producers
...
Physical & chemical factors that
influence living organisms in land (terrestrial) ecosystem & aquatic life zones
...
Abiotic Components are mainly of two types they are Climatic factors and
Edaphic factors
Climatic Factors: which include rain, temperature, light, wind, etc
