1. Biotic components obtain energy from food to carry out living processes.
2. Based on the types of nutrition, the biotic components can be categorised
into three groups, producers , consumers and decomposers
3. In a food chain, the energy of a trophic level can be flowed to the next
trophic level when the organism is consumed.
a. The flow of energy in a food chain is begun from light energy to be used by
producers for photosynthesis .
b. In general, only 10 % energy can flow from one trophic level to the next
trophic level.
c. About 90 % energy lost from the flow of energy within food chain in the
form of heat energy released from consumers, undigestible parts, excretion
and others.
d. The flow of energy to higher trophic levels becomes less .
e. Hence, the fifth trophic level is the highest trophic level in any food chain.
4. In an ecosystem, several food chains interrelate to form a food web

5. Population size is the total number of individual of a species within a
habitat.
6. Population density is the number of individual of a species per unit area .
7. The population size and population density can be estimated by using
sampling techniques .
8. Quadrat sampling technique can be used to determine population size, density
and distribution for plants and inactive small animals.
a. Quadrat is a square frame made up of wood or metal with a measurement 1
m × 1 m or smaller.
b. Each quadrat can be subdivided into 1 per 10 small squares.
c. The quadrat can be placed randomly or systematically in the field to be
studied.
d. The more sampling to be done, the more accurate result will be obtained.
e. Population size can be determined by calculating the frequency of a
species, species density and species coverage in a studied field.
