Hello students, so today's question is about the certain level of a level of ecological organization can influence the other ecological studies.
00:11
And while any ecologist study on a particular ecological organization can other levels be influenced by that organization.
00:21
For example, working on zebra population can other factors be considered like influence of food and interaction with other species.
00:31
So let's talk about ecological organization.
00:35
Within the discipline of ecology, there are five different levels where ecologists work.
00:43
Five different levels.
00:44
It can be organism level.
00:48
It can be organism level.
00:49
It can be population level.
00:51
And it can be community level.
00:55
And then ecosystem and biosphere level.
00:58
Ecosystem and biosphere level.
01:04
So at the level of ecological organization that we are going to talk about here, at the level of ecosystem organization, two main factors are considered.
01:18
Abiotic factors, abiotic factors and biotic factors and biotic factors and biotic factors.
01:27
A biotic factors include are water, oxygen, temperature, soil, all these levels are, all these factors are abiotic.
01:40
A biotic.
01:41
And in biotic factors, animals, plants, microbes are considered.
01:46
Animals, plants and microbes are considered.
01:50
So we can say that both these factors, abiotic factors and biotic factors.
01:57
They influence each other, influence each other.
02:03
Both of these factors can be influenced by each other and they act on each other.
02:10
The living things we know that plants we put in the category producers because they by photosynthesis they produce the food.
02:21
They are autotrophs.
02:22
Plants are autotrophs.
02:25
And heterotrophs are other organisms and consumers which depend on plants and others for the food, for the food because they can't make their own food.
02:38
So we know that they are dependent on plants.
02:42
Hence they can be influenced by plants...
