The connect map illustrating the relationships among given terms.
Concept introduction:
The summation of the abiotic environment and the community is referred as an ecosystem. The association of the indigenous, animals, plants, and other smaller organisms, which interacts to form a particular habitat, is known as ecological community. Therefore, the summation of abiotic component and community is termed as an ecosystem.

what is the appropriate title and problem statement and rationale of "You are a microbial ecology researcher with expertise in agricultural soil. You own a company that carry out consultation and produce biological fertilizers. Currently, you have three different products (Biofertile X, Biofertile Y, Biofertile Z). An organic agriculturist growing crops that needs a healthy fungal to bacteria ratio in the soil to increase productivity seeks to know which of your product will best achieve his goal".

In a seagrass ecosystem, nutrients restrict primary production under low nutrient (oligotrophic) conditions, while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient (eutrophic) conditions. Discuss how this happens with respect to the three primary producers (seagrass, macroalgae, phytoplankton) as the condition changes from oligotrophic to eutrophic.arrow_forward10.

What oxygen requirement, or aerotolerance, categories allow for an organism to survive in the complete absence of oxygen? Please list those oxygen requirement/aerotolerance categories where an organism doesn't necessarily need oxygen for growth. 2. Oxygen is toxic to most organisms, even you! One reason we don't see the effects of this is because most organisms are able to produce enzymes to counteract this toxicity. This is called, "detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS)," as discussed in Chapter 9. In order to survive in the presence of oxygen (if it can), a prokaryotic organism must be able to undergo detoxification of reactive oxygen species.
