  2. Autotrophs converting solar energy to organic compounds

  3. Decomposers recycling organic matter to inorganic compounds

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. The fundamental source of energy in almost all ecosystems is radiant energy from the sun. The autotrophs processes the light energy and use the energy stored within the simple carbohydrates to produce the more complex organic compounds. The flow of energy through the ecosystem drives the movement of nutrients within the ecosystem. Decomposers play a key role in many of these cycles, returning nutrients to the soil, water, or air, where they can be used again by the biotic constituents of the ecosystem.

So the correct option is 'all of the above'.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. An ecosystem can be as small as a pond or as large as a rainforest. Ecosystems are analysed and studied as unique entities. However, all ecosystems feature an energy input such as the sun's heat which keeps life in the system going. The oceans are the world's largest ecosystems and are considered to cover the shore as far as tidal waters come in.
