3) In order for an ecosystem to thrive, it needs to exist in a form of harmony and balance between its biotic and abiotic factors. Describe how small changes to both biotic and abiotic components can have major effects on an ecosystem.

Changing temperature causes extinction or removal of organism from that place.

Explanation:

Small changes to both biotic and abiotic components can have major effects on an ecosystem because these are the factors on which the ecosystem depends. For example, if the temperature of the ecosystem increases from its limit, it makes the environment unfavourable for the organism so due to this change, the organism migrated to other location otherwise they will die due to unfavourable environment.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
