19. LETS UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC WITH THE HELP
OF THESE FOUR THINGS
1.living organism
2.non living things
3.interaction between them
4. Specific environment or a particular area in
which both things are present.
20. Ecology
It is the scientific study of interaction among organisms and
the interaction of the organisms with the environment.
There are six levels organization -
1. Individual
2. Population
3. Community
4. Ecosystem
5. Biome
6. Biosphere
23. DEFINITION OF ECOSYSTEM
Ecosystem is a community or
group of living organisms that
live in and interact with each
other in a specific environment.
24. Another Definition
Ecosystem is a biological environment
consisting of all organisms living in a
particular area, as well as all the
nonliving physical components of the
environment with which the organism
interact such as air water and sunlight.
25. EVALUATION
Q1. . What is the definition of ecosystem?
Q2. What are the main requirements for forming
an ecosystem?
36. TYPES OF ECOSYSTEM
There are two main types of
ecosystems which are as follows-
1.NATURAL ECOSYSTEM
2.ARTIFICIAL ECOSYSTEM
37. 1.NATURAL ECOSYSTEM
A natural ecosystem is a community of
living and non-living entities and occurs
freely in nature. Every component
interacts together as a combined unit
through physical, chemical and biological
processes
Examples- Desert, forest
38. 2.ARTIFICIAL ECOSYSTEM
Ecosystems that are made by man for
commercial or other benefits is known as
an artificial ecosystem. These ecosystems
are modified by humans for their own
profit and can either be terrestrial or
aquatic
Example: Aquariums, crop
39.
40. EVALUATION
Q1. What are the examples of artificial
ecosystem?
Q2. Pond ecosystem is the example of which
kind of ecosystem
50. COMPONENTS OF ECOSYSTEM
The components of ecosystem may
be divided in to two main types.
1.Biotic components
2.Abiotic components
51. 1.Biotic components
The living organism present in an ecosystem
form
The living organism present in an ecosystem form
biotic components.
Examples of biotic components are as follows
animals
Plants
bacteria ,
protests
, fungus etc.
52. 2.Abiotic components
All the non- living components form the abiotic
component.
Examples of abiotic component are as follows
Air
Water
Light
Land etc.
53. CLOSURE
Ecosystem is a community or group of living
organisms that live in and interact with each
other in a specific environment.
There are two main type of ecosystem
1.Natural ecosystem
2.Artificial ecosystem
The components of ecosystem may be divided in
to two main types.
1. Biotic components 2.abiotic components
54. Recapitulation
• True and false
• Natural things present around us known as ecosystem. T/F
• Desert ecosystem and forest ecosystem are the examples of
artificial ecosystem. T/F
• All livings things are comes under biotic components of
ecosystem. T/F
• Fill in the blanks
• Air, water, land are the examples of
components of ecosystem.
• Interaction between and organism in a
specific is known as ecosystem.
