Question

Ecosystem structure and function​

Answer 1

Answer:

Structure of the Ecosystem

The structure of an ecosystem is characterised by the organisation of both biotic and abiotic components. This includes the distribution of energy in our environment. It also includes the climatic conditions prevailing in that particular environment.  

The structure of an ecosystem can be split into two main components, namely:  

• Biotic Components
• Abiotic Components

The biotic and abiotic components are interrelated in an ecosystem. It is an open system where the energy and components can flow throughout the boundaries.

Functions of Ecosystem

The functions of the ecosystem are as follows:

1. It regulates the essential ecological processes, supports life systems and renders stability.
3. It is also responsible for the cycling of nutrients between biotic and abiotic components.
5. It maintains a balance among the various trophic levels in the ecosystem.
7. It cycles the minerals through the biosphere.
9. The abiotic components help in the synthesis of organic components that involves the exchange of energy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Eco-System

Structure:-

The ecosystem is the structural and functional unit of ecology where the living organisms interact with each other and the surrounding environment. In other words, an ecosystem is a chain of interaction between organisms and their environment.

Function:-

Ecosystem function is the capacity of natural processes and components to provide goods and services that satisfy human needs, either directly or indirectly (de Groot et al 2002). Ecosystem functions are conceived as a subset of ecological processes and ecosystem structures
