STRUCTURE OF PLANT AND
AND ANIMAL COMPONENT
OF THE COMMUNITY
 How does habitat connect
the organization of
plants and animals within
a c o m m u n i t y ?
 Introduction
Habitat refers to the natural
•

environment where animals and

plants live.

• Habitats plays a crucial role in

maintaining ecosystem balance and
function.

• The Presentation will explore the

link between habitat and the
structure of plant and animal .
 HABITAT AND PLANT STRUCTURE

•Plants have specific adaptions that
enable them to thrive in their habitat.



•Different habitats support diverse
plant life.



•Plants interact with other organisms
in their habitat such as pollinators
and seed dispersers.

A pollinator is anything that
helps carry pollen from the
male part of the flower
(stamen) to the female part of
the same or another flower
(stigma). The movement of
pollen must occur for the the
plant to become fertilized and
produce fruits, seeds, and
young plants.
Seed dispersal is the
mechanism by which plant
seeds are transported to
new sites for germination
and the establishment of
new individuals.
HABITAT AND ANIMAL STRUCTURE

√ Animal have a specific
adaptions that enable them
to survive in their
habitat.

√ Difference habitats
support diverse animal
life

√ Animal interact with

other organisms in their
habitat, such as predator
and prey.
 EXAMPLE :

Predator-prey relations refer

to the interactions between
two species where one
species is the hunted, food
source for the other.
HABITAT AND TROPHIC LEVELS
√ Primary Producers such as plants,
are issential part of habitat.

√ Herbivores are animals that feed
on plants in their habitat.

√ Carnivores are animals that feed
on other animals in their habitat.
HABITAT AND BIOMES

✓ Terrestrial Biomes, such
as forests and deserts, have
different habitat
characteristics.

✓ Aquatic Biomes, such as
Oceans and rivers, have
different habitat
characteristics.
 Terrestrial Biomes:

Temperate Grassland Temperate Forest

Tropical Desert and

Forest Tundra
 Aquatic Biomes

Estuaries and the

Lakes and rivers
ocean
- have a low salt
- have a higher salt
concentration
concentration
HABITAT AND BIODIVERSITY

✓ Habitat loss is a
significant threat to
biodiversity.

✓ Habitat conservation
efforts can help to
protect biodiversity.

✓ Habitat connectivity is
important for maintaining
biodiversity.
CONCLUSION

✓ Habitat plays a crucial
role in the structure of
plant and animal communities
✓ Conservation efforts must
focus on protecting and
restoring habitat.
✓ Further research is
needed to better understand
the link between habitat and
ecosystem function.
