Study Notes
Ecological Terms and Definitions
- Understanding ecological terms is crucial for studying ecosystems and environmental interactions.
Biotic Factors
- Biotic factors refer to living components of an ecosystem such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.
- Examples of biotic factors include predator-prey relationships, competition for resources, and symbiotic interactions.
Abiotic Factors
- Abiotic factors encompass non-living elements that influence the environment, including climate, soil, water, and sunlight.
- Important abiotic factors include temperature, pH levels, humidity, and nutrient availability in the soil.
Examples of Ecological Terms
- Examples help clarify concepts. For instance, "predation" is exemplified by a lion hunting zebras.
- Another example is "habitat," which may refer to a coral reef for marine species.
Importance of Matching Terms with Definitions
- Matching terms with definitions promotes a deeper understanding of ecological interactions and relationships.
- Effective categorization aids in grasping complex ecological concepts, enhancing both learning and retention.
