Start from facts (document/experiment), then build a reasoned scientific explanation.

Use exact terms: ecological factor, valence, productivity, biotope, biocenosis, reproduction.

Energy flows one-way: producers → consumers → decomposers, with heat losses.

Matter is continuously recycled through biogeochemical cycles.
