Study Notes
The Health of the Environment
- An ecosystem is an environment that supports life and is made up of biotic and abiotic factors
- Biotic factors are living things (animals, microorganisms, plants)
- Abiotic factors are non-living things (air, water, soil, light)
Habitats
- Habitats are the natural home of organisms
- Ecosystems contain many different habitats
- Habitats provide organisms with shelter, food, water and light
- Example of a habitat: Lakes, African Savanna
Interdependence of Organisms
- Organisms rely on each other to survive
- This interdependence helps to maintain a balanced ecosystem
- Producers and consumers
- A balance between predators and prey is important to maintain healthy populations
- When the number of prey decreases, the number of predators also decreases (due to lack of food).
- When the number of predators decreases, the number of prey increases (not being eaten as much)
- Light is necessary for photosynthesis in plants. Light travels in a straight line. Light gives out light.
