Observing Ecosystems Ecosystems-The sums of all the organisms living within its boundaries and all the abiotic factors with which they interact. Chemical Elements such as carbon and Nitrogen are cycled among abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. Photosynthetic organisms assimilate these elements in inorganic form from the air‚ soil‚ and water and incorporate them into their biomass‚ some of which is consumed by animals. Both energy and matter are transformed in ecosystems throught

In the rainforest ecosystem‚ everything is connected to one another. There is an interconnectedness existing in this ecosystem. To continue to function‚ the ecosystem depends on the interactions between the biotic and abiotic factors. An ecosystem survives by a combination of energy flow and matter recycling. To understand the interconnectedness of the ecosystem‚ food webs and food chains could be observed. Each organism depends on each other to survive and maintain their populations. In the food

A food web is the entirety of interrelated food chains in any and every ecosystem. This delicate balance is the connection between predator and prey‚ consumer and producer‚ and autotroph and heterotrophs. Food web’s also allows you to follow the direction of the flow of energy as each organism consumes each of their indicated food sources. For example‚ the energy from the sun is taken in by producers‚ such as ‚ trees‚ grass and fruit. Then goes to an autotroph would be eaten by a second trophic

The Arctic Tundra ecosystem Arctic tundra is located in the northern hemisphere‚ encircling the North Pole and extending south to the coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic is known for its cold‚ desert-like conditions. All of the plants are adapted to sweeping winds and disturbances of the soil. Plants are short and group together to resist the cold temperatures and are protected by the snow during the winter. They can carry out photosynthesis at low temperatures and low light intensities

following questions completely using your results from the activity‚ as well as what you have learned in the lesson: 1. Identify the roles (producer‚ primary consumer‚ secondary consumer‚ or decomposer) of the hare and the wolf in the simulated ecosystem. Explain your answers in complete sentences. Hare: The hare is the primary consumer as it eats grass and plants. It doesn’t eat other consumers‚ making it a primary consumer. Wolf: The wolf is a secondary consumer as it continues eating/killing

class we were just well known about the term “ecosystem” but now as we have done this project we have now learned various things about ecosystem in depth and that will help us in our course study in coming days. This project is based on term “ecosystem” and “Food chain” after going through it many will be able to answer these questions: * What is an ecosystem‚ and how can we study one? * Is the earth an open or closed system with respect to energy and elements? * Tropic level * What

Ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited spaces (although

Urban ecosystem and Ecopolis Lai Wei March 29‚ 2012 Introduction When people talk about the city‚ the first thing they thought is the building and the traffic. It’s hard to connect city to the ecological and the environment. But as the humanity is rapidly urbanizing‚ by 2010‚ more than 50% of the world population is expected to live in the city. (The World Bank‚ 2010) Cities can be tremendously efficient. It can easier to provide water and sanitation for a large number of people living
