 Interdependence among living
organism
• Species – a group of organism with common
characteristics that can breed among
themselves to produce offspring.
 Interdependence among living
organism
• Population – a group of organisms of the
same species living together in a habitat.

A place where an
organisms lives and
reproduce
 Interdependence among living
organism
• Ecosystem – interaction between living
things and non living things in a habitat.
 Interaction

Prey-predator Symbiosis Competition

Commensalism Parasitism
Mutualism
 Prey-predator
• Predator – is an organism that killed and
eat another organism
• Prey – organism that is eaten
 Competition
• Interaction between organism in the
same environment to competing the:
• Food, shelter, light, water, space,
minerals and mates.
 Commensalism
• one get benefit but host does not get any
benefit.
 Mutualism
• Both organism get benefit.
 Parasitism
• One organism get benefit but host is
harmed.
 Importance of interaction
• Maintain the balance of ecosystem
• Replace the death organism
• Reduce the size of population
 Biological control
• Natural way to
control the size of a
eat
population of
organisms (pest).
• uses owls and
snakes to control
the reduce the
number of rats eat
 Biological control
• excessive use of pesticide is costly, which
causes pollution and increases the
resistance of the pest
 Food Web
• Energy is transfer by the food web.
• Food web is a combination more than one food
chain
• Food chain:

Can make their own
