• Underline the main idea


Ecosystems may be observed in many possible ways, so there is no one set of
components that make up ecosystems. However, all ecosystems must include
both biotic and abiotic components, their interactions, and some source of
energy. The simplest (and least representative) of ecosystems might therefore
contain just a single living plant (biotic component) within a small terrarium
exposed to light to which a water solution containing essential nutrients for plant
growth has been added (abiotic environment). The other extreme would be
the biosphere, which comprises the totality of Earth's organisms and their
interactions with each other and the earth systems (abiotic environment). And of
course, most ecosystems fall somewhere in between these extremes of
complexity.

• The picture below shows an ecosystem. The parts of this ecosystem are labeled
with letters. Next to each letter, write the name and biotic if it is living and abiotic
if the part is not living.

• At a basic functional level, ecosystems generally contain primary producers


capable of harvesting energy from the sun by photosynthesis and of using this
energy to convert carbon dioxide and other inorganic chemicals into the organic
building blocks of life. Consumers feed on this captured energy, and
decomposers not only feed on this energy, but also break organic matter back
into its inorganic constituents, which can be used again by producers. These
interactions among producers and the organisms that consume and decompose
them are called trophic interactions, and are composed of trophic levels in an
energy pyramid, with most energy and mass in the primary producers at the
base, and higher levels of feeding on top of this, starting with primary consumers
feeding on primary producers, secondary consumers feeding on these, and so
on. Trophic interactions are also described in more detailed form as a food chain,
which organizes specific organisms by their trophic distance from primary
producers, and by food webs, which detail the feeding interactions among all
organisms in an ecosystem. Together, these processes of energy transfer
and matter cycling are essential in determining ecosystem structure and function
and in defining the types of interactions between organisms and their
environment. It must also be noted that most ecosystems contain a wide diversity
of species, and that this diversity should be considered part of ecosystem
structure.

Look for the meaning of the underlined words, write sentences using those words
explaining what the characteristics of an ecosystem are, and finally create an
ecosystem using a drawing.
