Answer:

Here is the first part. Ask the question again and i'll answer the second part. Comment when you posted the question again so I can do the second part. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson 04.01 Ecology

• Summarize the levels of organization studied in ecology

The levels of organization in Ecology are Biosphere, Ecosystem, Community, Population, and Organisms. Biosphere is a global process. The Ecosystem is the energy and nutrients that are in the cycling system. Community is the interactions and behavior with the population of whatever species that is in the ecosystem. Population is the dynamics of the unit ecosystem. Organisms are the survival and reproduction involved in the unit of natural selection.

• Compare biotic and abiotic factors

Biotic and Abiotic factors are different. Biotic factors are living things. While Abiotic factors are nonliving things. Biotic factors are living things in the ecosystem such as plants, animals and even bacteria. Abiotic’s nonliving factors include some components such as water, soil and the atmosphere.

• Describe the role of producers, consumers, and decomposers in ecosystems

The roles of the ecosystem are producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers are plants or algae that make their own food by photosynthesis. They also provide food to the food chain. Consumers have the role in the ecosystem to control the production of organisms and vegetation. Decomposers have the role in the ecosystem of breaking down dead organisms and other types of vegetation waste or organic waste. They release those nutrients and molecules back into the environment.

• Explain how food chains and trophic levels are related

The food chains and trophic levels are related in numerous ways. A food chain is an even sequence of organisms with nutrients and energy. Every organism takes a different trophic level. They are determined by how many energy transfers separate it from the food chain.

• Analyze feeding relationships in a food web

The feeding relationships in the food web have an order. The first order is the Primary source known as consumers that eat the producers. The second order is the Secondary source, this where the consumers eat the consumers that eat the primary source which is the primary source. The third order is the Tertiary consumer, they eat the secondary consumers. You can call this the circle of life. An example of the food web can be, The plants get eaten by a deer and the deer gets eaten by the wolf and after the wolf has died it gets decomposed into the ground.
