Ecosystem Interactions and Food Webs

The document outlines various types of ecological interactions, including commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism, and provides examples of organisms within an ecosystem. It highlights the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers, as well as the importance of nonliving components like sunlight and water for survival. Additionally, it notes that some organisms can change their interactions as they mature, affecting their roles in the ecosystem.

Yes, some organisms can change their interaction;

- Frog: as tadpole, its herbivore- primary consumer feeding on algae,


as it matures, it becomes a carnivore- secondary consumer, eat
insects and smaller animals
- Duck: some times it eats insects- secondary consumers and
sometimes small sh or frog- tertiary consumer

It's very important because nonliving parts ( sunlight, water, air, soil) provide
essential resources for survival.

Plants needs sunlight and water to make their own food ( photosynthesis)

Animals need water for drinking and habitat

Temperature and soil type a ect where organisms can live and grow

All together maintain balance and support life within ecosystem.
