Ecosystem & its Components Quiz

Ecosystem Components

• Abiotic components: non-living elements such as air, water, soil, sunlight, and temperature
• Biotic components: living organisms including producers, consumers, and decomposers
• Interactions between abiotic and biotic components shape the ecosystem

Ecosystem Classification

• Terrestrial ecosystem: a type of ecosystem that exists on land, including forests, grasslands, and deserts
• Other types of ecosystems: aquatic ecosystems (freshwater and marine), and atmospheric ecosystems

Classification of Living Organisms

• Basis for classification: the functional roles of organisms in an ecosystem
• Producers: organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis, such as plants and algae
• Consumers: organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms, including herbivores and carnivores
• Decomposers: organisms that break down dead organic matter, such as bacteria and fungi

Test your knowledge on the components of an ecosystem, including biotic and abiotic factors, as well as different types of ecosystems such as natural, terrestrial, freshwater, and aquatic ecosystems. Learn about the classification of living organisms based on their interactions within an ecosystem.
