Which one of the following is the definition of ecosystem?
-
A localised association of seven plants and animals.
-
Different communities of plants, animals and microbes, together with their physicochemical environments.
-
Different communities of plants and microbes, plus their physicochemical environments.
-
A community of organisms interacting with one another.
An ecosystem consists of the biological community of living organisms that occurs in some particular area and the physical and chemical factors that make up its nonliving or abiotic environment. There are many examples of ecosystems - a pond, a forest, an estuary, a grassland.
Two components of ecosystem are
-
Plants and animals
-
Trees and fungi
-
Living and non living
-
Frogs and man
The ecosystem is comprised of various food chains in which the organisms interact with each other. There is also the involvement of the non-living forms. The living form is the biotic component and the non-living forms are the abiotic components. The producers, consumers and decomposers are the biotic components. Sunlight, air and water are the abiotic components.
What are biotic components?
-
The living components
-
The non-living components
-
Both living and non-living
-
None of these

An ecosystem is a complex interacting system of
-
Individuals
-
Population
-
Communities and their physical environment
-
Communities and their soil condition
An ecosystem includes living things in a given environment, their interaction with each other, and also with their non-living environment i.e., weather, earth, sun, soil, climate, and atmosphere. Thus the correct answer is option C.
Ecosystem has two components
-
Plants and animals
-
Weeds and trees
-
Biotic and abiotic
-
Frogs and man
Ecosystem has two components. They are
-
Trees and fungi
-
Living and non living
-
Plants and animals
-
None of these
An ecosystem includes the interaction of the living things i.e biotic factors in a given area with the non-living environment i.e abiotic factors such as weather, earth, sun, soil, climate and atmosphere. Thus the correct answer is option B.
Abiotic component in an ecosystem is
-
Water
-
Daphnia
-
Bacteria
-
Chlorella
An ecosystem includes the interaction of the living things i.e biotic factors in a given area with the non-living environment i.e abiotic factors such as water, weather, earth, sun, soil, climate and atmosphere. Bacteria, Daphnia and Chlorella form the biotic component of the ecosystem. Thus the correct answer is option A.
Which of the following is true in an ecosystem ?
-
Animals can live without plants
-
Plants can live without animals
-
Animals can survive for long without plants
-
Plants can survive for long without animals
An ecosystem may be a small or a large sized based on kind of
-
Habit
-
Habitat
-
Components
-
Molecules
Habitat is the environmental area where particular organisms live. Hence the size of the habitat determines the size of an ecosystem. More the number of the organism more the area will be covered and thus the size of the particular ecosystem increases.
Which of the following is an abiotic component?
-
Plants
-
Animals
-
Soil
-
Microorganisms
The correct answer is 'soil'
