Study Notes
Organized Living Beings
- Organisms are classified into different categories based on their characteristics and functions.
- Living beings can be unicellular (single-celled) or multicellular (many-celled), including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
- Biotic factors are all the living components of an ecosystem, such as animals, plants, and bacteria.
- Abiotic factors are non-living elements like sunlight, water, soil, temperature, and air, which influence living organisms.
Ecosystem
- An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with their environment.
- Ecosystems can be large (like forests and oceans) or small (like ponds and gardens), and they maintain balance through energy flow and nutrient cycling.
Living Beings Adaptations
- Adaptations are traits that enhance the survival and reproduction of organisms in their specific environments.
- Examples include camouflage in animals, drought resistance in plants, and specialized feeding behaviors.
Types of Ecosystems
- Major types of ecosystems include terrestrial (forests, deserts, grasslands) and aquatic (freshwater, marine).
- Each ecosystem hosts unique communities of organisms that have adapted to their specific environments.
Food Chain
- A food chain illustrates the flow of energy from one organism to another in an ecosystem.
- Typically starts with producers (plants), followed by primary consumers (herbivores), and then secondary and tertiary consumers (carnivores), ending with decomposers that recycle nutrients back into the soil.
