Which one of the following terms describes not only the physical space occupied by an organism, but also its functional role in the community of organisms ?
-
- Eco-niche
- Ecosystem
- Ecozone
- Habitat
Correct Option: B
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. The nature of the organisms—the species, functional groups and trophic levels to which they belong—dictates the sorts of actions these individuals are capable of carrying out, and the relative efficiency with which they do so.
