What are the characteristics of a balanced ecosystem?
In a balanced ecosystem, the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) parts are in equilibrium. Nutrients cycle efficiently, and the flow of energy and nutrients to the rest of the ecosystem is not interrupted by a community of organisms or natural phenomena.
Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?
nutrients
Why are decomposers a necessary part of a healthy ecosystem?
return nutrients to the environment so matter and energy can begin another cycle.
How food nutrients cycle goes on and on in a forest ecosystem?
It is important in order for the ecosystem to produce more from the soil after the decomposers have gotten the nutrients back into the soil.
What happens to energy in an ecosystem?
The energy in an ecosystem is used by the organisms in that ecosystem. In the case of the sun as energy, nothing happens because the sun always supplies energy.
What is energy cycle related to ecosystem?
The energy cycle related to ecosystem is the transformation of bio-geochemical energy. This is able to link biotic and abiotic factors and cycle nutrients which forms the ecosystem.
How does the flow of nutrients in an ecosystem differ from the flow of energy in an ecosystem?
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is unidirectional and is not cyclic. It is represented in a flowchart form. The flow of nutrients in an ecosystem is cyclic like a water cycle. An example for flow of energy is :- sun --- producer --- primary consumer --- secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer --- decomposer. The energy remained in the is very little and it is released as heat. An example for flow of nutrients is :- air, water, soil --- producer --- primary consumer ----secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer ---- decomposer ---- air, water, soil--- and so on (cyclic)

What would happen if there was energy added to an ecosystem or nutrients stop being recycled?

Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?
nutrients
How does mutualism affect an ecosystem?
Mutualism ensures that a cycle of the distribution of nutrients and energy is maintained.
Why are bacteria important in energy transfer within an ecosystem?
They can help with photosynthesis (mutualism in plant roots). Also, they work as decomposers and break down waste to return nutrients to the ground.
What things in an ecosystem do all living organisms need in order to survive?
energy and nutrients and good temperature
What things in an ecosystem do all living organism need in order to survive?
energy and nutrients and good temperature
Why is it essential for nutrients to cycle through the ecosystem?
It is important so that the ecosystem can grow from itself. Also look and study the transfer of energy and matter. These charts are very helpful.
What is a stable populations of producers vital to ecosystem health?
.They return nutrients to the soil, water, and air so cycles can begin again. .They are the only organisms that can introduce energy into an ecosystem.
What supplies organisms with the food energy and other resources needed to live?
All Organism need Food to promote growth and for energy.
