Which topic was covered during the session last week?

Evolution and the contributions of Charles Darwin

What is the carrying capacity of an ecosystem?

The maximum number of individuals an ecosystem can support

It can surpass the carrying capacity of the ecosystem

What can limit population growth in living organisms?

Environmental resistance such as favorable conditions and abundant resources

What is an example of environmental resistance mentioned in the text?

Extinction of dinosaurs due to a meteor impact

Why is it important to preserve the ecosystem according to the text?

To maintain the balance for all living organisms, including humans

Study Notes

The session is for Senior High School Earth and Life Science students and parents, focusing on the topic "Interaction and Interdependence" for Week 7.
The topic is being taught through the Pivot Module provided by Vision Foreign.
The specific module being used is Module Number 30, named Mojo.
The students and parents are encouraged to use the Facebook page and YouTube channel for additional learning resources.
The session is taking place during the last week of June and is part of the Philippine Environment Month celebrations.- The text is about a session on ecology and interaction between living things and their environments.
Last week, the topic was evolution and the contributions of Charles Darwin.
This week, the focus is on ecology and identifying biotic and abiotic factors.
Biotic factors include living things, while abiotic factors are non-living.
Biotic potential is the rate at which life forms reproduce, while environmental resistance limits population growth.
Biotic potential is affected by factors such as food, water, disease, and predators, while environmental resistance can be caused by unfavorable conditions.
The text mentions examples of biotic potential, such as 90% of insects and over a million insect species.
The population of living organisms can grow when they have adequate food, water, and suitable habitat, with no diseases or predators.
Environmental resistance can limit population growth through factors such as unfavorable conditions, competition, and diseases.
The extinction of the dinosaurs due to a meteor impact is an example of environmental resistance.
The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals an ecosystem can support.
Overpopulation of living organisms in an ecosystem can lead to negative consequences if the population exceeds the carrying capacity.
The text encourages learners to send their answers to the teacher via private message.
The session will continue next week, with the hashtags #beinspired and #beblessed.
The importance of preserving the ecosystem for the benefit of all living organisms, including humans, is emphasized.
