Question

How does an ecosystem differ from a community?

Answer 1

Hint: Community and ecosystem are interrelated to each other as in ecology community are all of the population of different species who are living in the same area and interact with one another and this interaction is related to an ecosystem like food chains, the environment is the factors of an ecosystem.

Complete answer:
1)Based on the definition’s ecosystem is a biochemical cycle that consists of the interactions between the living organism that is biotic components and nonliving organisms that is an abiotic component and it is an exchange of energies and a kind of link between these organisms.

2)In a region, different species of a group of population are living together and interacting with each other is known as community.

3)Based on the factor’s ecosystem includes all the factors like biotic and abiotic components but in the community, only biotic components are included.

4)Based on the changes in environmental factors the ecosystem can be transformed into another ecosystem and it does not change with any affecting conditions but with the change in the environmental factor’s community can also change.

5)Examples of an ecosystem can be a grassland, a pond, an estuary, a forest, and examples of the community can be different species of bird-like drawn finches living in the same area or bacteria, plants, animals living in the same environment can be another example of community.

Note: In ecology, the ecosystem includes few standard components like the producer, consumer, and decomposer but community involves only biotic factors and ecosystem and community are factors of the biome of the earth.
