A pond An aquarium and a garden are also ecosystems. Your home: Everything from the dust mites in your pillow to you.

Some of the components are these:

* You shed skin scells * The dust mites eat them and grow fat * They are in turn eaten by slightly bigger bugs which are in turn eaten by bigger critters * The bugs you can see (ants, plant lice, fungus flies) are eaten by Spiders and spiders by centipedes * All of the above animals produce waste which feeds the moulds and fungus in the rugs * You bring home bed bugs from your trip they eat your blood. * You feed the dog or cat which sheds skin feeding the dust mites and other scaengers * Your house plants have mould, mildew and fungus which feed insects and have an interdependence with each other * Once in a while you get roaches and mice which eat your food and the pet food. They feed on each other too.

What is an example of predation in biology and how does it impact the ecosystem?

What is an example of a keystone species in an ecosystem, and what are the potential consequences if that species is removed or leaves the ecosystem?

An example of a keystone species in an ecosystem is the sea otter. If sea otters are removed or leave the ecosystem, it can lead to a decrease in biodiversity and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. This can result in overpopulation of sea urchins, which can then overgraze on kelp forests, leading to a decline in other species that rely on the kelp for habitat and food.
