  1. Eco’ in ecosystem refers to habitat or environment.
  2. Components of ecosystem: Biotic components (Living organisms) and abiotic components (Non-living organisms)  
  3. Producers are the primary components of an ecosystem who prepare food for all the living organisms of the ecosystem. Consumers are the secondary components of an ecosystem who cannot prepare their own and hence, depend on the food prepared by the producers.
  4. Organisms which capture their prey and eat it are known as secondary consumers. These include flesh-eating animals or carnivores such as tigers, wolves, snakes, lizards, certain birds etc.
  5. Sunlight is an abiotic component of the ecosystem. The energy obtained from sunlight is essential for the production of food by photosynthesis.
