Explanation:
An ecosystem consists of a community of living organisms
interacting with each other and the environment. The source of energy that fuels most ecosystems is the sun. Plants use the Sun’s energy to produce food in a process called photosynthesis.
Organisms that use energy from the Sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to produce their own nutrients are called autotrophs. They are also called producers because most other organisms depend on autotrophs for food and energy. Heterotrophic organisms that can’t make their own food may obtain nutrients by eating other organisms. A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is called an herbivore. Herbivores are also called first order heterotrophs. Heterotrophs that feed on other herbivores are second order heterotrophs.

c. it can be considered a global ecosystem
The benefits of artificial selection is that you've taken the traits that you desire from a plant or an animal that could benefit your own survival. (Much like our ancestors bred the highest/most efficient crops, leaving us in a good farming position today). However, the drawbacks of artificial selection is that you effectively destroy any natural selection or "survival of the fittest" thus reducing the gene pool. If a virus or bacteria was effective against a crop that we bred, it would destroy our entire farming industry (also works with animals that we breed).
Answer:
<h2>The preying of one animal on others is predation. </h2>
