Introduction to Ecosystem Structure and Composition
In this video, we learn about the components of an ecosystem, including biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors. We also learn about the different types of biotic components, including producers, consumers, and decomposers.

What Are Trophic Levels?
How do we find out the position that an organism occupies in a food chain? The different feeding positions in a food chain or web are called trophic levels. All food chains and webs have at least two trophic levels, starting at level one...
