Ecosystems Maryland Ecosystems 1. Question Next Maryland Ecosystems 1 2 3 4 5 6 1. Question An ecosystem is a complex set of relationships among living and non-living things. The living, once living, and non-living factors of an area interact with each other in an ecosystem. Habitats are the place where a plant or animal lives which provides the resources for energy (food), water, and space. What is the food chain and what happens when an organism is removed from the food chain? What are the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in a food chain? What happens when there is competition for space, food, and water?
