An ecosystem is a complex interacting system of
-
Individual
-
Population
-
Community and their physical environment
-
Community and their soil condition
An ecosystem is a segment of biosphere consisting of a community of living beings and the abiotic or physical environment interacting and exchanging materials between them. The interactions ultimately result in trapping of energy and production of biomass in an ecosystem. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
Ecosystem is
-
Open
-
Closed
-
Both A and B
-
Neither open nor closed
As per thermodynamics, a system can be open or closed. An ecosystem is an open system because an open system is a system in which energy and nutrients are exchanged between the physical environment and living organisms. In a closed ecosystem, the waste product of an organism is used by the other organism, like decomposers. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
Ecosystem is defined as
-
Relation between plants and animals
-
Relation between biotic and physical components
-
Relation between producers and decomposers
-
None of the above
An ecosystem is a community of organisms living and interacting with the non-living components of the environment within a system. It is made up of 2 types of components viz., biotic and abiotic. Ecosystem represents the relation between biotic and physical componenets.
Ecosystem may be defined as
-
Group of plants which act as the energy suppliers
-
Group of organisms which form population
-
Functional unit for ecological studies
-
None of the above
The ecosystem is a segment of nature or biosphere consisting of a community of living beings and the abiotic or physical environment both interacting and exchanging materials between them.

Ecosystem is a biological community that lives in conjugation with the nonbiological community. It can also be defined as all plants and animal species along with environment. It includes all living things like plants, animals and non-living things like air, water, land, etc. The term Ecosystem was termed by Arthur Tansley in 1935.

A. Arthur George Tansley coined the term ecosystem' in 1935 to describe the interactions between organisms and with their environment.
The term ecosystem was coined by
-
Warming
-
Odum
-
Tansley
-
Haeckel
Term ecosystem was coined by Tansley while the term ecosystem was coined by Ernst Haeckel. Warming wrote the first book on plant ecology. Odum described an ecosystem as a functional unit of nature.
How many of the following will act as a decomposer in a pond ecosystem?
[spider, earthworm, woodlouse, fungus]
-
One
-
Two
-
Three
-
Four
Decomposers are the organisms which feed on dead organisms such as microbes. Spider feeds on other insects and acts as a predator and woodlouse found in forest and feeds on plant matter from the forest floor. Whereas earthworm and fungus can grow in pond water and feeds on dead organisms (plant or animal).
Ecosystem can be recognised as self-regulating and self sustaining unit of
-
Species
-
Landscape
-
Organism
-
Community
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms together with non-living components of their environment, functioning together as a system. The term 'ecosystem' was first proposed by Sir Arthur Tansley in 1935. The ecosystem can be recognized as a self-regulating and self-sustaining unit of 'landscape'. Hence, the correct answer is option B. ''landscape'.
