Ecosystem
habitat
A habitat is a home environment for plants and animals or other organisms. Examples of habitats include: desert. meadow. woodland.
A habitat mainly refers to an environmental area where a particular species lives typically. Habitat is vital because a species or a group of organisms including animals, birds, plants depend on their habitat for their air, food, water, shelter and all other essential requirements for their survival.
The two main types of habitats are terrestrial, or land habitats and aquatic, or water, habitats. Forests, deserts, grasslands, tundra, and mountains are just a few examples of terrestrial habitats.
Ecology
Meaning.
Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment; it seeks to understand the vital connections between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also provides information about the benefits of ecosystems and how we can use Earth’s resources in ways that leave the environment healthy for future generations.
Exemples
energy movement through food webs, symbiotic relationships among different species, and resource competition that limits the survival of certain species.
Biotic
Meaning
Biotic is defined as anything relating to living organisms. It is often used to explain influencing factors or conditions in the environment of a living organism, that are caused by another living organism or biological entity. Biotic factors are contrasted with abiotic factors which are factors not caused by other living organisms. Abiotic is defined as anything non-related to living organisms.
Exemples
plants, birds, bugs, trees, dogs
Abiotic
Meaning
An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents. Abiotic and biotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem.
Exemples
Water, light, wind, soil, humidity, minerals, gases.

food chain
Food chain is a linear sequence of organisms which starts from producer organisms and ends with decomposer species.
food web
Food web is a connection of multiple food chains. Food chain follows a single path whereas food web follows multiple paths.
niche
In ecology, the term “niche” describes the role an organism plays in a community. A species' niche encompasses both the physical and environmental conditions it requires (like temperature or terrain) and the interactions it has with other species (like predation or competition).
biosfere
Resultado de imagem para biosfere what is
The biosphere is made up of the parts of Earth where life exists—all ecosystems. The biosphere extends from the deepest root systems of trees, to the dark environments of ocean trenches, to lush rain forests, high mountaintops, and transition zones like this one, where ocean and terrestrial ecosystems meet.
producers
Producers are organisms that make their own food; they are also known as autotrophs. They get energy from chemicals or the sun, and with the help of water, convert that energy into useable energy in the form of sugar, or food. The most common example of a producer are plants.
consumers
A consumer, according to the definition in biology, is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must eat other plants and/or animals to get energy. Consumers are also known as heterotrophs.
