Ecosystems:
Energy Flow:
An ecosystem is all of the nonliving things, in an environment and the ways that they Interact. All, living things in an ecosystem, need water, food, temperature, and space, to grow. Animals get energy, by eating other plants or other animals. They are called called- consumers.
Carnivore: Snow Leopard:
Snow leopards almost, eat anything that they can catch, and are often, hunting for animals that are three times-their size. Their main sources of prey, include wild sheep and goats pikas, hares, and game birds.
Herbivore: Parakeet:
Wild parakeets forage for foods, during the coolest hours of days and they seek the shaded protection[s] of trees and bushes, in the midday heat. The lifespan of a captive parakeet, is typically- between- 5 to 10 years, depending on their care and their diet[s]. Some Parakeets, called- melopsittacus undulatus, are native to Australia's scrublands and its grasslands, but they are known to travel to wooded and coastal areas, when food and water- run short in supply, and in their preferred habitats.
Omnivore: Ape- (possibly):
During nightfall, apes sleep in nests- made from branches or foliage, on the grounds, or in trees. Apes are all- mostly, frugivores, with the capacity, to be omnivorous, and to be opportunistic. Apes are herbivores, for the most part, but some apes may eat small animals, or eat bugs, to supplement their diet[s], randomly.
Decomposers Link:
If decomposers were not in ecosystems, then, the ecosystems' plants would not get essential nutrients, and the dead matters and wastes would pile-up. Many types of decomposers are microscopic, meaning, that they can not be sighted, without a microscope. Unpleasantly, decomposers complete this, natural world's work, they are responsible for eliminating dead and dying-organisms, and in this process, they also, release nutrients, into soils. Decomposers reduce dead creatures, plants, and feces, into chemicals, such-as- nitrogen and carbon.
DECOMPOSERS: FOOD CHAINS AND FOOD WEBS:
In a food chain, living things transfer energy, by eating and being eaten. A food web is a system of overlapping food chains. All, living things are connected, and depend on each other, in order to survive.
