Q & A
What is an ecosystem according to the video?
-An ecosystem is defined as a combination of a living environment and the living organisms that inhabit it. It is composed of living beings that interact with their environment and with each other.
How does the fox interact with its environment as mentioned in the video?
-The fox interacts with its environment by drinking water when it is thirsty, and it also interacts with other living organisms, such as when it consumes rodents.
What are some examples of different ecosystems mentioned in the video?
-The video mentions deserts, coral reefs, and forests as examples of different ecosystems.
How are the living organisms in an ecosystem characterized by their environment?
-The living organisms in an ecosystem are characterized by the specific chemical and physical conditions of their environment, such as the amount of oxygen, minerals, temperature, and light.
What is the relationship between the environment and the living organisms in an ecosystem?
-There is a very close relationship between the environment and the living organisms in an ecosystem. The environment's chemical and physical conditions allow for the appearance and development of certain living organisms.
Why is an ecosystem considered a balanced system?
-An ecosystem is considered a balanced system because all the elements within it are interconnected. If one element is missing or altered, the entire system can become unbalanced.
What are the specific physicochemical conditions of the 'mare' ecosystem described in the video?
-The 'mare' ecosystem has specific physicochemical conditions, such as having 0.5 grams of mineral salts per liter of water and a temperature ranging between 5 and 16 degrees.
Which living organisms are mentioned as inhabitants of the 'mare' ecosystem?
-The 'mare' ecosystem is home to organisms like water lilies (nénuphars), green frogs, dragonflies (édit tic), and grey herons.
What is a food web, and how does it relate to an ecosystem?
-A food web is a network of feeding relationships among living organisms within an ecosystem. Each organism is a link in the food web, and the balance of the ecosystem is maintained through these interactions.
What happens if one of the physicochemical conditions in an ecosystem is changed, as illustrated by the video?
-If one of the physicochemical conditions in an ecosystem is changed, such as the amount of mineral salts in water, it can lead to the disappearance of certain organisms, which in turn can cause a chain reaction affecting other organisms and potentially collapsing the entire ecosystem.
Why is an ecosystem considered fragile according to the video?
-An ecosystem is considered fragile because if any link in the food web is disturbed, it can lead to the collapse of the entire system due to the interconnectedness of all its components.

Highlights
An ecosystem is composed of a habitat and the living beings that inhabit it.
Ecosystems can be defined as living beings that interact with their environment and other living beings.
The fox is an example of a living being that exchanges with its environment, like drinking water when thirsty.
Living beings can also interact with other living beings, such as a fox consuming rodents.
Different types of ecosystems exist, from deserts to coral reefs to forests.
Each ecosystem is characterized by its environment and the organisms that live in it.
The environment is characterized by specific chemical conditions, such as oxygen or mineral salts.
Physical conditions like temperature and light also define an environment.
Chemical and physical conditions allow for the emergence and development of certain living beings.
An ecosystem is a balanced system; the absence of a single element can disrupt the balance.
The example of a pond ecosystem is given, characterized by specific physicochemical conditions.
In the pond, certain organisms like water lilies, green frogs, dragonflies, and grey herons can develop.
These organisms interact, forming what is known as a food web.
The water lily consumes water and minerals, and is consumed by frog tadpoles.
Tadpoles are consumed by dragonfly larvae, which are then consumed by adult frogs, and so on.
Each living being is a link in the food web, which is part of the ecosystem's balance.
Modifying a physicochemical condition, such as the amount of mineral salts in water, can disrupt the ecosystem.
The disappearance of a single link in the food web can cause a chain reaction leading to the collapse of the ecosystem.

bonjour dans cette vidéo nous allons
voir ce qu'est un écosystème un
écosystème est constitué d'un milieu
plus les êtres vivants qui habite
on peut donc le définir ainsi un
écosystème est composée d'êtres vivants
qui vont échanger avec leur milieu et
avec les autres êtres vivants qui habite
ainsi je prends l'exemple du renard le
renard est un être vivant qui peut
échanger avec son milieu lorsqu'il a
soif il va boire de l'eau mais il peut
également échanger avec les autres êtres
vivants lorsqu'ils afin par exemple il
va consommer des rongeurs
il existe différents types d'écosystèmes
ça peut aller du désert al ahmar ou à
une barrière de corail ou encore une
forêt ces différents écosystèmes sont
peuplés d'êtres vivants différent chaque
écosystème va être caractérisé par son
milieu et les instruments qu'ils
habitent
mais il existe une relation très étroite
entre ces deux éléments
en effet le milieu caractérisée par des
conditions chimiques particulières comme
par exemple une certaine quantité de
dioxygène ou de sels minéraux
ce milieu est également caractérisée par
des conditions physiques comme par
exemple une température particulière ou
une certaine luminosité
ces conditions chimiques et physiques
vont donc permettre l'apparition et le
développement de certains êtres vivants
mais pas d'autres ainsi comme son nom
l'indiqué un écosystème est un système à
l'équilibré si un seul de ces éléments
est manquant l'ensemble peut être
déséquilibré prenons l'exemple d'un
écosystème la mare lamarre est
caractérisée par des conditions physico
chimiques particulières par exemple la
mare peut posséder une certaine quantité
de sel minéraux 0,5 gramme par litre
c'est à dire que dans 1 litre d'eau nous
allons trouver 0,5 gramme de sel
minéraux cette mare peut avoir une
température variant entre 5 et 16 degrés
ces conditions vont permettre le
développement de certains êtres humains
comme par exemple nénuphars la
grenouille verte
ledit tic et le héron cendré l'ensemble
de ces êtres vivants échangent entre eux
en formant ce que l'on appelle un réseau
alimentaire voyons de quel réseau
alimentaire il s'agit le nénuphar va
consommer principalement de l'eau et des
sels minéraux éléments qu'il peut donc
trouver dans son milieu
il sera lui-même consommé par des
têtards de grenouilles vertes têtards
consommer eux mêmes par ledit tic qui
sera lui-même consommé par la grenouille
verte
adulte elle même consommé par l'ue et
revendre et ainsi on peut constater ici
que chaque être vivant est un maillon de
ce qu'on peut appeler le réseau
alimentaire ce réseau comme l'écosystème
et l équilibre
voyons maintenant ce qui peut se passer
si l'on modifie une des conditions
physico chimiques comme par exemple la
quantité de sel minéraux dans l'eau
cette quantité pourrait être de zéro
gramme par litre
s'il n'y a plus de sels minéraux dans
l'eau le nénuphar ne pourra plus se
nourrir et va disparaître cette
disparition causera inévitablement la
mort des têtards de grenouilles qui ne
pourront plus se nourrir et la mort des
têtards de grenouilles causera la
disparition du dytique et par une
réaction en chaîne à grenouilles vertes
puis aux hérons cendrés un écosystème
est donc un milieu fragile
si un seul des maillons du réseau
alimentaire est perturbé l'ensemble peut
s'effondrer
