Question
Chapter 38, Problem 5WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The total amount of organic material, available energy and nutrients in the ecosystem change over time. When a small ecosystem is build in which light and gas exchange was blocked with the environment.
Concept introduction:
A small ecosystem was built by a person. In which, he had blocked the light and gas exchange from the environment. Ecosystem is a biological community made up of living and non living components such as plants, animal, air and water. Biotic and abiotic components are linked together by different cycles.

What would happen in an ecosystem if suddenly there were no decomposers?
In a lake, a typical food chain might go something like this: algae eaten by arthropods eaten by minnows eaten by pike eaten by a heron. If a toxic material were released into the pond water, which organism in this food chain do you think would be most affected by biological magnification and why?
