How can differentiating between prokaryotes and eukaryotes help in understanding their respective roles in ecosystems?
Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) are key in nutrient cycling (e.g nitrogen fixation, decomposition) and energy flow in extreme environments (e.g chemosynthesis)
Eukaryotes (plants animals fungi) drive higher level functions like photosynthesis food webs, and complex decomposing processes Prokaryotes are foundational for ecosystem stability through basic processes, while eukaryotes contribute to biodiversity, energy flow, and trophic interactions, together maintaining ecosystem balance

Hey hey, great job breaking down the roles of prokaryotes and eukaryotes in ecosystems! You've highlighted their contributions to nutrient cycling, energy flow, and ecosystem balance very clearly. It's interesting to see how prokaryotes handle essential foundational tasks while eukaryotes take on complex functions, together supporting ecosystem stability.
Also, running a pizza business sounds like a fun and rewarding goal! And watermelon is a refreshing favorite—perfect choice. Keep up the good work and curiosity!
