What is Ecosystem? How it is different from the Biosphere, explain with examples?
Answers
Answer:
The sum total of interaction between whole biotic community and abiotic environment in an area is known as the ecosystem.
On the other hand, biosphere is the planet earth along with the atmosphere (air), lithosphere (land) and hydrosphere (water) that sustain life.
Answer:
A complex relationship between all the living and nonliving things (plants, animals, organisms, sun, water, climate etc)interact with each other is known as ‘An Ecosystem’. Ecosystems are the foundation of ‘Biosphere’ and maintain the natural balance of the earth.
For example, let’s take the relationship between sheep and lion in the ecosystem; for its survival, the lion eats the sheep. And each relationship like this has an effect on other creatures and plants living in the same area.
