In order to be an ecosystem‚ energy should be transferred in a form of organisms. There should be a food chain in order to be an ecosystem‚ when one organism eats the other.

This lab is an opportunity to observe‚ study‚ and learn about ecosystems and how the environment sustains life but in a much simpler and smaller scale which is called Eco Columns. The environmental conditions in the Eco Column could sustain life for several weeks‚ therefore over the course of the several weeks we will observe and study the interconnections between each ecosystems. A self sustaining requires components such as energy flow and chemical cycle. This experiment will evaluate our knowledge

Chapter 3 Ecosystems: What Are They and How Do They Work? Section 3-1: What Keeps Us and Other Organisms Alive? Earth’s life support system has four major components: The atmosphere (air) The hydrosphere (water) The geosphere (rock‚ soil‚ and sediment) The biosphere (living things) The Atmosphere The atmosphere can be divided into two layers: The troposphere extends about 17 km above sea level at the tropics and about 7 km above the north and south poles. It contains the air we breathe: 78% Nitrogen

Ducks Unlimited‚ an organization that conserves wetlands to help waterfowl thrive‚ this helps the waterfowl live and stay out of endangerment‚ and waterfowl are beautiful creatures and their ecosystem provides for the environment and that contributes to the ecosystem. Ducks Unlimited began in nineteen thirty seven. Their main goal is to preserve and increase the levels of wetlands and waterfowl.

Date: Biodiversity: Biological diversity‚ or biodiversity‚ refers to the variety of life on Earth. As defined by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity‚ it includes diversity of ecosystems‚ species and genes‚ and the ecological processes that support them. Natural diversity in ecosystems provides essential economic benefits and services to human society—such as food‚ clothing‚ shelter‚ fuel and medicines—as well as ecological‚ recreational‚ cultural and aesthetic values‚ and thus
