# APES Chapter 3
## Ecosystem Ecology
< Therefore, **==the boundaries of an ecosystem are dependent on the biotic and abiotic factors==**. A **well defined** ecosystem will have easily identifiable biotic and abiotic components, where as a **poorly defined** system will not.
A cave is an example of a well defined ecosystem due to:
- [x] Identifiable Biotic Factors
- [x] Identifiable Abiotic Factors
A cave has **specific and identifiable animals** and microorganisms adapted to live in that environment, as well as a **distinct temperature, salinity, and water stream**.
< 6 H^2O + 6 CO^2 in the presence of sunlight & chlorophyll → C^6H^12O^6 + 6O^2
>
> Water + Carbon Dioxide in the presence of sunlight & chlorophyll → Glucose + Oxygen
Chemical & Word Equation for Aerobic Respiration:
> 6O^2 + C^6H^12O^6 → 6H^2O + 6CO^2 + ATP
>
> Oxygen + Glucose → Water + Carbon Dioxide + Energy
