Well, it's pretty self-explanitory, it's an ecosystem in a jar. An ecosystem is a specific area of size in which climate, landscape, animals and plants are constantly interacting. So in an eco-JAR it's not like you have little deer roaming through a minature forest, It's like grass and small plants with crickets and such. It could also be an aquatic ecosystem, which again, would not consist of whales and sharks, but pond fish, algae, etc.

What is an ecosystem in a jar called?

An ecosystem in a jar is called a terrarium. It is a self-contained environment where plants and sometimes small animals can thrive with minimal external input. It is a great way to observe and enjoy nature in a small, contained space.


Could an ecosystem that contains only protists remain in continued exsistence?

yes. Protists are single celled organisms which include both animal-like cells and also plant-like cells. The plants are the reason such an ecosystem can sustain itself. The plants manufacture food and the animals either eat the plants or recycle dead cells. Any closed container demonstrates this, since the water will become green and stay that way for as long as the jar remains undisturbed. This theoretically can be thousands of years. After this time, the organisms may have evolved species found nowhere else on earth, except for inside the jar. They will be perfectly adapted to jar existence and could probably live nowhere else. This is principally how species in the real world become extinct. Someone or something breaks their jar.

How can a self-sustaining ecosystem in a jar of water be created and maintained?

To create a self-sustaining ecosystem in a jar of water, start by adding aquatic plants, algae, and small organisms like snails or shrimp. These organisms will create a balanced ecosystem by producing oxygen, consuming nutrients, and recycling waste. Ensure the jar receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Regularly monitor and maintain the ecosystem by providing food for the organisms, removing any excess waste, and replenishing water as needed. This will help maintain a healthy and self-sustaining ecosystem in the jar.
