Do ecosystems contain both plants and animals?
The ecosystem is a large community with dynamic interactions between the flora, fauna, and micro organisms within that physical environment (this includes the soil, rocks, water bodies, etc. too). Examples of ecosystems include deserts, prairies, tundra, ponds, forests, plains, to name a few.There are autotrophs and heterotrophs in each system. The autotrophs provide food for the organisms in the higher level of the Biological Pyramid, while the heterotrophs consume the organisms from the lower level. Consider a very conventional ecological system: the forest.------------------------------------------------- Level 4 : Decomposers ------------------------------------------------- Level 3 : Secondary Consumers ------------------------------------------------- Level 2 : Primary Consumers ------------------------------------------------- Level 1 : Producers -------------------------------------------------The lowest of the Pyramid would be the plants that the herbivores eat, like grass, fruits, etc. These are autotrophs. The plants produce the energy from the sunlight and from the nutrients in the soil in which it grows. The animals on the higher level the herbivores consists of rabbits, deer, etc. They are called the primary consumers. The animals in the next level the carnivores can be lions, tigers, etc. There is also another set of heterotrophs, the omnivores that eat plants as well as animals. These are known as the secondary consumers. The last of this level usually include the micro organisms that divulge in breaking down of the dead and decayed organisms back to the soil for the plants to obtain nutrients from.All biological activity within ecosystem should maintain the energy level balance.One food chain for the above system would go as follows: Grass -> Rabbits -> TigersIf the number of tigers is increased, the rabbit population would decrease and the grass growth increases, too. Hence, tigers wouldn’t live longer, eventually, leading to the extinction of two heterotrophs. This leads to imbalance in the Biological Pyramid. This could give rise to lots of environmental problems.

WHAT IS antagonistic activity?
Antagonist activity is the activity that is counter to the agonist or it can be viewed as an inhibitory activity. If pharmacology, the antagonist does not have any activity, but it blocks or inhibits the activity of the agonist.
Why sweets are less prone to microbial degradation?
there are various factors for a microorganism to grow and multiply and one of them is the water activity or the water available in the food. syrups and honey are sugar concentrated and water content is very minimal thus inhibits the activity of microorganisms to spoil such food and sweets in general.
