A community and all of the nonliving things that affect it?
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment. Energy, water, nitrogen and soil minerals are other essential abiotic components of an ecosystem.
What is an environment that can support only as many organisms as the available energy minerals and oxygen will allow?
Carrying Capacity !
Are Minerals not living organisms yes or no?
Yes they aren't.
In the zone there are not enough minerals in the water to support organisms?
abyssal
What is the exchange of useful chemicals between organisms and their abiotic environment an example of?
A symbiotic relationship occurs when both parties benefit from the exchange. This does occur when organisms in the soil exchange minerals for food from plants and they will help protect the plant from attack so they should be encouraged.

What nutrient do organisms tend get from their local ecosystem?
minerals
How do the biotic and abiotic components change the equilibrium of the ecosystems?
Abiotic components are nonliving and consist of soil, minerals, air, water, and sunlight. Biotic components are living organisms of the ecosystem. Ecosystem is a community of organisms interacting with one another and within their environment. There are a vast number of species living in any ecosystem and these organisms depend on one another and their environment for sources of food and energy. Matter is recycled through ecosystems, and the amount of life any environment can support is limited by the available energy, oxygen, water, and minerals. Interactions with biotic and abiotic factors cause the ecosystem to constantly shift and adjust to maintain balance in the system. An example would be Pine Trees. A shortleaf pine grows in drier soils and the loblolly pine needs a moister site. Pines also needs sunlight to thrive and may not thrive from shadying of their own trees, thus making room for Oak trees to grow.

Do detritivores return energy to an ecosystem?
They only return the minerals to the ecosystem.
Minerals seeping into an organisms remains form what?
Minerals seeping into an organisms remains form fossils. sediment
How do lichens change their environment so other organisms can live there?
Lichens absorb water and minerals from the air. As a result, they are easily affected by pollution. Thus the presence of lichens are a good source of air quality for other organisms
What nutrients do organism tend to get from their local ecosystem?
phosphorous
What are the different parts of an ecosystem?
water, food, energy, oxygen and needs to be a suitable living condition. these are the 6 parts that make up an ecosystem. the different parts of an ecosystem are;primary producers,primary consumers,secondary consumers,tertary consumers and the decomposers help to make an ecosystem.........ecosystems contain biotic components-living organisms that inhabit the ecosystem as well as abiotic components of an ecosystem include water, soil, sunlight, minerals and other non-living things.
What kind of scientists are needed to process gold?
Geologists are the scientists that process gold and search for fuels and minerals. Geologists focus on the organisms of the planet and protecting the Earth's environment.
Why do organisms form minerals?
•Protection from environment •Internal support •Eating & Chewing •Aligning with magnetic field •Gravitational determination (which way is up.) •Getting rid of waste
What component in an ecosystem is not recycled?
describe which factors of an ecosystem are not part of a community
