What to Focus On
- Biosphere is the life-supporting zone of Earth.
- It includes biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components.
- Hierarchy: Individual → Population → Community → Ecosystem → Biome → Biosphere.
- Ecology studies organism-environment interactions.
- Ecosystems are of two main types: terrestrial and aquatic.
- Aquatic ecosystems vary in productivity based on sunlight, nutrients, and oxygen.
- Food chain shows linear energy transfer.
- Food web shows interconnected feeding relationships.
- Decomposers break down dead matter and recycle nutrients.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Biome and ecosystem are the same thing – just different names for a natural area with plants and animals.
The food chain shows all the feeding relationships in an ecosystem.
All deserts are hot and sandy.
