Question

Which one is not the dynamic aspect of an ecosystem?

• A. Producers and mineral cycles
• B. Consumers and mineral cycles
• C. Producers and energy flow
• D. Energy flow and mineral cycles

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Dynamic aspects of an ecosystem are mineral cycles and energy flow. Mineral cycles are biogeochemical cycles through which there is exchange or circulation of nutrients in the biosphere. Energy flow occurs in a unidirectional manner in an ecosystem from lower trophic levels to higher trophic levels. Through these dynamic aspects, biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem are connected. Biotic components are living part of the environment which include producers, consumers and decomposers whereas abiotic components are non living part of the environment which include light, water, temperature etc.

So, the correct answer is options 'A, B and C'.
