what is the difference between an aquatic and a terrestrial ecosystem?
An aquatic ecosystem is based on water, and a terrestrial ecosystem is based on land.
What are the organisms in the river ecosystem and if they're producers consumers or decomposers and what type primary secondary etc?
In a river ecosystem, organisms can be classified into producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers, such as aquatic plants and phytoplankton, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Primary consumers include herbivorous insects and small fish that feed on these producers, while secondary consumers consist of larger fish and carnivorous insects that prey on the primary consumers. Decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, break down dead organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
How are organisms in the aquatic ecosystem grouped?
by groups
What does it mean first consumer an third consumer?
In an ecosystem, a first consumer refers to an organism that consumes producers (plants) directly. A third consumer, on the other hand, is an organism that consumes secondary consumers, which are those that feed on primary consumers. This relationship forms a food chain in an ecosystem.
