The most important characteristics of any
ecosystem are energy flow and cycling of
materials. Producers and decomposers are
indispensable for any ecosystem. Producers trap
solar energy and convert it into usable form as
carbohydrates which are passed on to successive
levels through food chains and food webs. The
other important characteristic of the ecosystem is
cycling of materials. This is called as
biogeochemical cycles, in which decomposers are
most important because they will release the
mineral nutrients back to the environment.

38. Acids, bases and salts are three main categories of

chemical compounds. These have certain definite
properties which distinguish one class from the
other.
The acids are sour in taste while bases are bitter in
taste. Tasting a substance is not a good way of
finding out if it is an acid or a base! Acids and
bases can be better distinguished with the help of
indicators. Indicators are substances that undergo
a change of colour with a change of acidic, neutral
or basic medium. Many of these indicators are
