write paragraph on"balance in an ecosystem" how to crete a balanced ecosystem model
Answers
A balanced ecosystem represents a sustainable habitat of interdependent animals, plants, and microorganisms and their environment. Balanced ecosystems display efficient energy and material cycling and interconnectedness between primary producers and predators.In a balanced ecosystem, the community of living (biotic) organisms interacts with non-living (abiotic) features in the environment. Abiotic features of ecosystems include precipitation, temperature, landscape, sunlight, soil or water chemistry, and moisture. The types of biotic factors in a balanced ecosystem include primary producers such as plants, primary consumers such as herbivores, secondary consumers such as carnivores, consumers such as omnivores that consume both plants and animals, and detritivores that eat decaying organic matter. Biotic factors rely upon abiotic factors to survive. Plants require certain temperature, moisture and soil chemistry to thrive. Animals rely on those plants for their food. Anything affecting any factor of an ecosystem can throw it off balance and force organisms to adapt or die off.A balanced ecosystem works via energy and material cycling. The chief energy source of ecosystems is sunlight. Photosynthesis of sunlight by plants creates oxygen as a waste product, which in turn is used in respiration by animals. Animals, in turn, create carbon dioxide as waste, and that is used by plants. The smallest organisms, microorganisms, decompose dead plants and animals into nonorganic material via enzymes. The conversion of the sun’s energy to chemical energy for photosynthesis or respiration results in energy loss as heat. Balanced ecosystems require the sun’s energy to exist and perpetuate the energy cycle.
if there is no balance in ecosystem then it will be a problem to the living organisms is producers will be more producers and they will get more more energy.This leads to death of producers very quickly because the carnivores will depend on producers.If this continues then there will be a loss to producers.so,the ecosystem should be in balance.
