Question

Wildlife can be scarce in many large, densely populated cities. A few plants and animals can be found in theseareas. For example, rats, mice, pigeons, cockroaches, and other insects are common in cities. Trees can grow by sidewalks or in local parks. Some cities even have small populations of coyotes within city limits.

Do you think these cities meet the definition of an ecosystem? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that other lifeforms, more than one species, is able to live in those cities, mean that its abiotic factors can sustain life. An ecosystem is a community with biotic (living organisms) and abiotic factors (environment).
