Study Notes
Organism and Habitat
- An organism is a living thing.
- A habitat is an environment that provides the necessary things for an organism to live, grow, and reproduce.
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
- Biotic factors are the parts of a habitat that are or were once alive and interact with an organism.
- Abiotic factors are the nonliving parts of an organism's habitat.
Population, Community, and Ecosystem
- A population is all the members of one species living in a particular area.
- A community is all the different populations that live together in an area.
- An ecosystem is the community of organisms that live in a particular area, along with the nonliving environment.
Limiting Factors and Resources
- A limiting factor is an environmental factor that causes a population to stop growing or to decrease in size.
- A resource is the food, water, shelter, and other things that an organism gets from its environment to live, grow, and reproduce.
Population Density
- Population density is the number of individuals in an area of a specific size.
