In this chapter we will go through……………….
1] Types of Ecosystems2] Interaction between Biotic and
Abiotic factors in an Ecosystem3] Energy Flow and its Importance
![Page 3: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1] TYPES OF ECOSYSTEMS THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF COMPONENTS:>BIOTIC- LIVING>ABIOTIC- NON LIVING IN THE INITIAL DAYS EARTH HAD ONLY
ABIOTIC FACTORS ROCK, SOIL.ETC. LIFE EVOLVED FROM THESE ABIOTIC
FACTORS. THE NATURE OF THE ABIOTIC FACTORS
DECIDE THE NATURE OF THE LIVING ORGANISM THAT WILL LIVE IN THAT PLACE
![Page 4: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ECOSYSTEM BIOTIC FACTORS, ABIOTIC
FACTORS,AND THEIR INTERACTIONS FORM AN ECOSYSTEM.
PARTS OF EARTH HAVE MORE OR LESS THE SAME TYPE OF ABIOTIC FACTORS SPREAD OVER A LARGE AREA.
THE BIOTIC PARTS IN THESE AREAS ARE ALSO SIMILAR.
THIS CREATES A LARGE ECOSYSTEM OVER A LARGE AREA.
![Page 5: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

SUCH MAJOR ECOSYSTEMS ARE CALLED BIOMES.
BIOMES ARE ECOSYSTEMS WHERE SEVERAL HABITATS INTERSECT.
THE EARTH ITSELF IS ONE LARGE BIOME. THERE ARE 2 MAJOR TYPES OF BIOMES ON
EARTH :-1. LAND BIOMES: THEY ARE MOSTLY THE
FOREST TYPES LIKE GRASS LANDS AND AREAS LIKE TUNDRA.
2. AQUATIC BIOMES: THEY ARE THE WATER LIFE I.E, LIFE UNDER WATER.THEY ARE OF 2 TYPES
>FRESH WATER: FRESH WATER ECOSYSTEM >MARINE WATER: MARINE ECOSYSTEM

2] Interaction between Biotic and Abiotic factors in an Ecosystem
![Page 9: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DIFFERENT LIVING ORGANISMS NEED DIFEERENT ABIOTIC FACTORS TO SURVIVE.
ALSO, DIFFERENT LIVING ORGANISMS HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF TOLERANCE FOR DIFFERENT ABIOTIC FACTORS.
THUS,EVERY ABIOTIC FACTOR IN A GIVEN ECOSYSTEM LIKE TYPE OF SOIL, QUANTITY OF LIGHT, ETC. AFFECT THE BIOTIC FACTORS IN THAT ECOSYSTEM.
BIOTIC FACTORS DEPLET OR ADD ABIOTIC FACTORS.
EACH BIOTIC FACTOR AFFECT THE ABIOTIC FACTOR IN THAT ECOSYSTEM.
THE SIGNIFICANCE AND FUNCTION OF EACH ORGANISM IN AN ECOSYSTEM IS DIFFERENT.

> NICHE
NICHE IS THE ECOLOGICAL ROLE AND SPACE THAT AN ORGANISM FILLS IN AN ECOSYSTEM.
THE ECOLOGICAL NICHE INVOLVES BOTH THE PLACES WHER AN ORGANISM LIVES AND THE ROLES THAT AN ORGANISM CARRIES OUT IN ITS HABITAT.
![Page 11: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3] Energy Flow and its Importance
![Page 12: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
> AUTOTROPHS THE LIVING ORGANISMS THAT
CAN PRODUCE FOOD ON THEIR OWN ARE CALLED AS AUTOTROPHS OR SELF FEEDERS.
PROPERTIES:1. THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN
FOOD.2. ALL GREEN PLANTS ARE
AUTOTROPHS.3. THEY ARE PRODUCERS OF THE
LIVING WORLD.
![Page 13: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
> HETEROTROPHS
ORGANISMS THAT CANT MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD AND ARE DEPENDENT ON OTER ORGANISMS ARE CALLED AS HETEROTROPHS.
THEY ARE CLASSIFIED AS:1.PRIMARY CONSUMER2.SECONDARY CONSUMERS3. APEX CARNIVORE4. OMNIVORES
![Page 14: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1.PRIMARY CONSUMER ORGANISMS THAT DIRECTLY FEED ON AUTOTROPHS ARE FIRST LEVEL CONSUMERS. THEY ARE CALLED AS HERBIVORES.
![Page 15: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RabbitRabbits eat grass and other plants. Meat-eating animals, such as foxes and coyotes, like to hunt and eat rabbits.
![Page 16: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2.SECONDARY CONSUMERS ORGANISMS THAT FEED ON HERBIVORESARE CALLED AS SECOND LEVEL CONSUMERS. THEY ARE ALSO CALLED AS CARNIVORES.
![Page 17: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hunting for FoodSome animals that are high up on the food chain can kill larger animals. These lionesses feast on a buffalo they have hunted down at a game park in Kenya.
![Page 18: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. APEX CARNIVORE THE FINAL FEEDER
THAT NO ONE DIRECTLY EATS ARE KNOWN AS TOP OR APEX CARNIVORE.
![Page 19: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. OMNIVORES
ORGANISMS THAT FEED ON BOTH CARNIVORE AS WELL AS HERBIVORE ARE CALLED AS OMNIVORES.
![Page 20: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
> DETRITIVORES
ORGANISMS THAT FEED ON DEAD BODIES OF AUTOTROPHIC AND HETEROTROPHIC ORGANISMS ARE CALLED AS DETRITIVORES.
Eg :- termites, pigs, vultures, etc.
![Page 21: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TermitesTermites live in colonies (groups) with as many as several million members. They feed on wood and can do great damage to trees and wooden buildings.
![Page 22: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bush PigA bush pig is a type of wild pig that lives in parts of Africa. Bush pigs usually travel in small groups. They are fierce when cornered and can kill goats, sheep, and other pigs.

> DECOMPOSERS
THE ORGANISMS THAT BREAK DOWN DEAD ORGANISMS AND RETURN THE NUTRIENTS TO THE SOIL ARE CALLED AS ‘DECOMPOSERS’ OR ‘SAPROPHYTES’
Eg.:- Fungi and Bacteria
![Page 24: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DecompositionBacteria and fungi, like this slime mold, decompose (break down) dead plants and animals. This returns nutrients into the soil, helping plants grow and renewing the food chain.
![Page 25: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
> Food Chain and Food Web FOOD CHAIN IS A LINKAGE OF
ORGANISMS WITHIN AN ECOSYSTEM, IN WHICH EACH LINK FEEDS ONE BEFORE IT IS AND IS FED ON BY THE ONE AFTER IT.
SIMILARLY, DIFFERENT FOOD CHAINS INTERWINE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND FORM THE INTICRITE NETWOORKS CALLED ‘FOOD WEBS’
![Page 26: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

> ENERGY PYRAMID EACH LEVEL IN A FOOD CHAIN IS
CALLED A TROPHIC LEVEL OR FEEDING LEVEL.
TROPHIC LEVELS ARE THE DIFFERENT FEEDING POSITIONS IN THE FOOD CHAIN.
ALL THE PRODUCERS IN AN ECOSYSTEM FORM THE 1st TROPHIC LEVEL, THE HERBIVORES FROM THE 2nd TROPHIC LEVEL, AND THE 1st LEVEL CARNIVORES FORM THE 3rd TROPHIC LEVEL.
![Page 31: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ORGANISMS AT THE TROPHIC LEVEL DON’T PASS ALL THE ENERGY THEY HAVE CAPTURED FROM THE SUN OR THE PREVIOUS TROPHIC LEVEL.
SOME OF THE ENERGY IS USED BY THEMSELVES LIKE IN BREATHING, GROWING, MOVING, JUMPING, ETC.
![Page 34: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cheetah RunningThe cheetah is one of the fastest animals on Earth, reaching speeds of close to 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) while chasing prey. Wildebeests, gazelles, impalas, and other hoofed mammals make up much of the cheetah’s diet.

Kangaroo HoppingThe kangaroo, a mammal native to Australia, has powerful hind legs that enable the animal to jump as far as 16 feet (5 meters) in a single leap. Its tail is used for balance while jumping.
![Page 36: Bonding with ecosystems](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555b4d5dd8b42af36d8b5165/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
> CYCLE OF NUTRIENTS IN TERRESTIAL AND AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM THOUGH THE FLOW OF ENRGY IS
UNIDIRECTIONAL , THE FLOW OF NUTRIENTS IS CYCLIC.
ALL THE ORGANISMS REQUIRE NUTRIENTS FOR GROWTH.
> PLANTS NEED WATER, CO2, ETC. ANIMALS NEED PROTEINS, VITAMINS
, ETC. THESE ORGANISMS RECEIVE ALL
THE NEEDED THINGS THROUGH THE PATH OF AIR, WATER OR SOIL INTO THEMSELVES AND AGAIN BACK TO THE AIR, WATER,SOIL WHICH IS CALLED ‘BIOCHEMICAL CYCLE’

> NATURE’S MECHANISM IN MAINTAINING BALANCE THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERSTICS OF
ECOSYSTEM ARE :-1) UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW OF ENERGY2) CYCLIC FLOW OF NUTRIENTS. EVERY ECOSYSTEM PERFORMS THESE
JOBS . THE HEALTH OF AN ECOSYSTEM DEPEND
ON THE EFICIENCY OF DOING THESE JOBS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE DEPLETING IT.
SO IT IS OUR PRIME DUTY TO MAINTAIN THE BALANCE O NATURE AND PRESERVE THE BIODIVERSITY TO ENRICH THE BIOSPHERE(life).
