Inter-relationships Between Living World and Environment

 2.1. Ecosystem Dynamics

Ecosystems are dynamic systems where energy flows and matter cycles through different components.

Organisms interact with each other (predation, competition, symbiosis) and with their environment (nutrient cycling, energy flow).

2.2. Biotic Components

All living organisms within an ecosystem (plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms).

2.3. Abiotic Components

Non-living elements such as sunlight, temperature, water, soil nutrients that affect living organisms.

2.4. Energy Flow

Energy enters ecosystems through photosynthesis and is transferred through food chains/webs.

2.5. Nutrient Cycling

Nutrients are recycled through biogeochemical cycles (carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle), ensuring sustainability.
