Dear Student,
The solution to your raised query is provided below-
i) Artificial ecosystem- A man-made or artificial ecosystem is the one whose components are under man's control. Man cannot create them. He simply brings them together in a system where their existence can be monitored. e.g. aquarium.
ii) Biodegradable substance- biodegradable substances are those which can be decompsed i.e. converted into simpler substances by the action of micro organisms or decomposers eg.excreta , animal waste , plant waste etc.
iii) Non-biodegradable substance- Non biodegradable substances are that which cannot be broken down naturally either by air, climate, moisture or soil. This kind of waste cannot be naturally dissolved into the land. Some of the most common non biodegradable products are plastic bags and bottles, tin cans and even computer hardware.
iv) Natural ecosystem- A natural ecosystem is one which is created naturally without any human intervention. e.g. forest.
