    The document describes different types of ecosystems including savanna, jungle, ocean, swamp, and desert. It then explains key concepts in ecology such as producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, decomposers, food chains, food webs, the oxygen and carbon cycles, habitats, species, populations, communities, and ecosystems. It emphasizes that organisms within an ecosystem are interdependent on each other and their environment to maintain a balanced system.

    A BALANCED ECOSYSTEM
    Organisms in an ecosystem are interdependent on
    each other to ensure the survival of the species. These
    organisms are also interdependent on non-living
    components in the environment such as water, light, air
    and soil.
    T
    The interdependence that exists between organisms
    and their natural surroundings creates a balanced
    ecosystem. An ecosystem is said to be balanced if the
    living organisms and non-living components in the
    environment are in a state of harmony without any
    external interference.
