Answer 1

The abiotic components of the ecosystem are the non living things, which include the atmosphere, water and soil.

-Abiotic components basically include non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment. They include atmosphere, water and soil. It is the non-living part of the ecosystem.

The living components of an ecosystem are categorized based upon their food source.

-Generally, living components of an ecosystem are known as the biotic factors and they are majorly categorized based upon their energy requirement or food source.

Autotrophs, also called producers, require only water and an external energy source to produce food.

-Autotrophs are the ones which can produce food on their own, they are also known as producers. The autotrophs require only water and an external energy source to produce food which is usually sun light.

Producers include photosynthetic plants and chemosynthetic bacteria, which provides nutrients for themselves and other members of a community.

-Producers include photosynthetic plants and chemosynthetic bacteria, which provides nutrients for themselves and other members of a community. Generally chemosynthetic bacteria include autotrophic bacteria with which they produce their own food using chemical energy.

Heterotrophs, also called consumers, require performed sources of organic nutrients.

-Heterotrophs are the ones which cannot produce food on their own, they depend on other organism for their food source and nutritional requirement, they are also called consumers and they require performed sources of organic nutrients.

Consumers include herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and detritivores, organisms that feed on detritus.

-The consumers include herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and detritivores. Detritivores are the organisms that feed on the detritus (waste/ debris of any kind)

Bacteria and fungi are decomposers that play an important role in breaking down materials to release organic nutrients taken up by plants.

-Generally decomposers also include bacteria and fungi, these play an important role in breaking down materials to release nutrients taken up by the plants. Decomposers basically decompose dead and decaying matter.
