MS1:

- Abiotic factor: Non-living chemical or physical factors in an ecosystem (1)

- Example: Temperature, rainfall, light intensity (1)

MS2:

- Population: Group of organisms of the same species in a specific area (1)

- Community: All populations of all species in a specific area (1)

MS3:

- Decomposers break down dead organisms and organic waste (1)

- Release nutrients into the soil/environment for use by producers (1)

- Maintain the balance of the ecosystem by removing dead material (1)

MS4:

- Primary consumer: Organism that eats producers (1)

MS5:

- Deforestation reduces habitats, leading to loss of species (1)

- Disrupts food webs and alters ecosystem dynamics (1)

MS6:

- Producers convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis (1)

- They are the base of food chains, providing food and energy to consumers (1)

- They help maintain the oxygen-carbon dioxide balance in the atmosphere (1)

- Without producers, life on Earth would not be possible (1)

MS7:

- Biomass: Total mass of living organisms in an ecosystem (1)

MS8:

- Resources such as food, water, and shelter can limit population growth (1)

- When resources become scarce, competition for survival increases (1)

MS9:

- Carbon cycle: Process of carbon exchange between the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms (1)

- Living organisms take in carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and respiration (1)

- They release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through respiration and decomposition (1)

- Plants and forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (1)

MS10:

- Sustainable ecosystem: One that maintains its biodiversity and productivity over time without compromising future generations (1)
