Read the given passage and answer the following questions.
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms like plants, animals and microbes in concomitance with the
non-living components of their environment like air, water and mineral soil, interacting as a system. Each of
the specific ecosystems in the world has its own conditions created by the non-living things. These conditions
determine what kinds of living things will be able to thrive there. Organisms can only thrive where their needs
are being met Everything in an organism's environment has an effect on it. One such ecosystem that allows
many different kinds of organisms to survive is a temperate zone. It is one such area where the conditions
never become either too hot or too cold. All the living things in an ecosystem are called a community. All of
one specific kind of organism living in a community is called a population. All the poison-arrow frogs form a
rainforest community as one population. All the strangler fig trees are another population within the same
community. All the sloths are yet another rainforest community population. All living organisms perform certain
life processes in cohabitation. They take in nutrients like air, sunlight, water, and food and use the energy from
those nutrients to grow and develop. They release this energy by doing work and later they release waste
products. These waste products are again imbibed by nature and hence the cycle continues. These animals
and plants react to things in their environment and further reproduce, producing offspring that are similar to
themselves. All these plants and animals are dependent on each other in a complex food web, and benefit
from each other in other ways in the ecosystem
(i) The conditions of living in an ecosystem are determined by
(1) The living things present in that ecosystem (2) The non-living components of that ecosystem
(3) Natural resources of that ecosystem
(1) Organisms of that ecosystem
system

The physical environment in which a species lives and to which it has evolved is known as the habitat. Abiotic elements like temperature and rainfall are the key determinants of a habitat's characteristics.

The characteristics of the organisms that reside there are likewise influenced by these circumstances.

Plants, animals, and other species are biotic factors along with rocks, temperature and humidity are abiotic variables. Every component of an ecosystem is directly or indirectly dependent upon every other component.
An ecosystem's temperature changes frequently have an impact on the types of plants that may flourish there, for example. Natural selection is the process that results in this.
Natural selection causes a species' nature to progressively change so that it can fit into the niche. A species can persist for a very long time before going extinct if it becomes extremely well adapted to its habitat and if the environment does not change.

Answer:

The physical surroundings where a species lives and evolves to is referred to as its habitat. Factors such as temperature and rainfall play a crucial role in determining the characteristics of a habitat.

Explanation:

These same conditions also affect the characteristics of the organisms that reside there. Both biotic factors such as plants and animals, and abiotic factors such as rocks, temperature and humidity, are integral parts of an ecosystem. Each element of an ecosystem is dependent on one another, directly or indirectly. For example, changes in temperature within an ecosystem can affect the types of plants that can thrive there, which is determined by the process of natural selection. This results in species adapting to fit into their niche, and they can survive for long periods of time before going extinct if they become highly adapted to their habitat and the environment remains unchanged.
