Concept introduction:
The summation of the abiotic environment and the community is referred as an ecosystem. The association of the indigenous, animals, plants, and other smaller organisms, which interacts to form a particular habitat, is known as ecological community. Therefore, the summation of abiotic component and community is termed as an ecosystem.

What oxygen requirement, or aerotolerance, categories allow for an organism to survive in the complete absence of oxygen? Please list those oxygen requirement/aerotolerance categories where an organism doesn't necessarily need oxygen for growth. 2. Oxygen is toxic to most organisms, even you! One reason we don't see the effects of this is because most organisms are able to produce enzymes to counteract this toxicity. This is called, "detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS)," as discussed in Chapter 9. In order to survive in the presence of oxygen (if it can), a prokaryotic organism must be able to undergo detoxification of reactive oxygen species.
