CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: An ecosystem includes all of the living things (biotic factors) in a given area, interacting with each other and also with their non-living (abiotic) environment. Ecosystems are larger than a habitat, or a community or a forest type.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. Biotic factors include plants, animals, and other organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Many living things interact with other organisms in their environment. In fact, they may need other organisms in order to survive. This is known as interdependence, as depicted in the Figure below. For example, living things that cannot make their own food must eat other organisms for food.

Detailed explanation-4: -An organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances, usually plant or animal matter is a heterotroph. All animals, protozoans, fungi, and most bacteria are heterotrophs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The living parts of an ecosystem are called biotic factors while the environmental factors that they interact with are called abiotic factors. Because living things both respond to and are influenced by their environment, it is important to study both factors together to get a full picture.
