1. Living organisms play an important role in the recycling of many elements within an ecosystem. One such way this idea can be proven is through the study of carbon in an ecosystem. Plants‚ for starters‚ are a major part of this carbon cycle. During photosynthesis‚ plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as a waste product. Another major contributor to this vital cycle is the human being. The average human being goes through respiration each day to help maintain

Explain how predation‚ birth‚ and death rates impact marine populations. Describe how biotic and abiotic factors influence marine populations. Research: Prey Initial Size: The starting number of prey. (Assume that the seals have an unlimited amount of food.) Prey Growth Rate: The birth rate of the prey. The larger the growth rate‚ the faster the

Because these ecosystems are so vast‚ and have such impacts‚ it is important to understand how they function. To determine how an ecosystem is functioning‚ the stability of the ecosystem is taken into consideration. Stability is defined as the tendency of a system
