Discussion

66.	Define an ecosystem. Explain it with a suitable example.
Answer» 1. An ecosystem can be defined as a functional unit of nature, where living organisms interact among themselves and also with the surrounding physical environment. 2. For example, Mangroves are one of the most productive ecosystem on earth, deriving nourishment from terrestrial fresh water and tidal salt water. 3. Coringa mangrove is situated south of Kakinada Bay and is about 150 km south of Visakhapatnam. 4. It is named after the river coringa. Coringa mangroves receives fresh water from coringa and Gaderu rivers and salt waters from Kakinada Bay. 5. Biotic components in coringa: Producers: Mangrove, Spirogyra, Euglena, Oscilatoria, Blue Green Algae, Ulothrix etc. Consumers: Shrimp, crab, hydra, protozoans, mussel, snails, turtle, daphnia, brittle word, tube worm etc. Decomposers: Detritus feeding bacteria etc. 6. Abiotic components: Salt and fresh water, air, sunlight, soil, etc.

Discussion

68.	What happens when two animals having similar habits share one ecosystem?
Answer» When two animals having similar habits, sharing one ecosystem , only the stronger and better equipped animal can survive, while the weaker one die or eliminated from the ecosystem. This is called ‘Survival of the fittest’.

Discussion

69.	Explain how diversity of living organisms helps in enriching any ecosystem.
Answer» 1. The existence of the ecosystem depends on the continued survival of the organisms in the ecosystem. 2. All organisms require energy for growth, reproduction and survival. 3. This energy is obtained by the organisms from the food they consume. 4. Plants are the producers producing food in any ecosystem. The animals present in the ecosystem are consumers as they consume food from plants. 5. Some of the organisms in the ecosystem such as bacteria and fungi, obtained their nutritional requirements by decomposing the dead bodies of both producers and consumers. 6.
