Learning objectives

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. describe the principles of the ecosystem
2. categorize the different biotic potential and environmental
resistance (e.g., diseases, availability of food, and predators)
that affect population explosion
3. describe how the different terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems are interlinked with one another
