Discuss the functions and give examples of the living components of an ecosystem?

Answer 1

1. In an ecosystem there are producers, consumers, and decomposers. The producers produce food for other organisms in the environment. The consumers job is to capture the energy to get bigger and stronger and eventually they will get eaten or they will die. The decomposers job is to break down dead plants and animals and use that for food. For example, the plants are the producers, while the animals are the consumers. Bacteria, fungi, etc., breaks down the dead organisms and that's what their food is.

Answer 2

Living components in an ecosystem, also known as biotic factors, interact with each other and their environment. Examples include plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. These organisms play key roles in nutrient cycling, energy flow, and maintaining balance within the ecosystem, such as predators controlling prey populations or plants converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Each organism has a specific function that contributes to the overall health and stability of the ecosystem.
