Every type of organism in the upper ocean contributes to both recycling of organic matter and sinking of organic matter. Briefly describe 2 interactions between organisms that result in both the recycling and sinking of organic matter. a) Interaction 1: - Brief description of how this interaction results in both the recycling of organic matter in the upper ocean and the sinking of organic matter: b) Interaction 2: - Brief description of how this interaction results in both the recycling of organic matter in the upper ocean and the sinking of organic matter:.

Also from the biological standpoint, several types of ECOSYSTEM and their corresponding components are distinguished. Select one type of these ecosystems that you can find near your place of residence. Identify that specific type of ecosystem. Categorize the component organisms present ONLY in that particular ecosystem. Using these representative organisms (those given in 2b above), make a diagram to clearly illustrate a food web to show the flow of energy in that ecosystem.
"Write a scenario describing what would happen to an ecosystem or to the human system in the event that:(a) All producers are killed through loss of fertility of the soil or through toxic contamination, (b) decomposers and detritus feeders are eliminated. Support all of your statements with reasons drawn from your understanding of the way ecosystems function"

Whichstatement about organisms’ “niches” is false?a.The niche summarizes environmental factors influencing growth, survival,and reproduction of a species.b.The niche concept was developed by Joseph Grinnell and Charles Elton.c.The “fundamental” niche refers to physical, but notbiological, aspects of the environment.d.Interactions such as competition and parasitism may restrict the size ofan organism’s niche.e.In the laboratory, two species with identical niches are especially easyto maintain in a mixed culture.
Ecosystem is an independently functioning unit with the most important processes being energy flow and nutrient cycling. Using food chain and biogeochemical cycles as examples, explain both the processes and its importance in functioning of Ecosystem.
