Directions: True or False If false identify the wrong word/phrase and explain your answer.

STATEMENT #1

All the members of a species that live in a particular area are called a community.

STATEMENT #2

The amount of sunlight and oxygen are two of the biotic factors in marine environments.

STATEMENT #3

The life supporting region of the earth is called the biosphere.

STATEMENT #4

Populations found in a particular environment always share their resources to each other.

STATEMENT #5

An environmental community is bigger than a population.

QUESTION #1

What is the difference between: Population and a community? Ecosystem and biosphere? Biotic and abiotic factors?

QUESTION #2

What are the different abiotic factors? How does each affect the ecosystem?

ANALYZE THIS

a.What do you observe in the graph? b.What triggered the rise of the fly population? c. What caused the decline of the population?

Remember. . . . . . . . . . .

Organisms obtain all the biotic and abiotic resources they need from their surrounding environment.

When the population first began to grow, resources such as food, water and living space are plentiful. Birth rate is high and death rate low.

As the population grows the resources available are shared to

LIMITING FACTOR

GOOD GUESS!;O). . . OKAY

LIMITING FACTORS

Are any biotic or abiotic resource in the environment that limits the size of the population

2 TYPES OF LIMITING FACTOR

Density-dependent limiting factor

Factor that comes into operation only when the number of organisms per unit of space reaches maximum

EXAMPLES

1.) Living space WATCH THIS

2. Disease

3. Competition

4. Predation

Density-independent limiting factor

Factors that affect population regardless of their population density

Examples:

1.) Weather 2.) Seasonal cycles

3.) Natural disasters

Volcanic eruption

landslide

Tsunami

4.) Human activities

Question

How does densityindependent limiting factors affect the population of an organism?

Community Interaction

Organisms living within a community in an ecosystem has many forms of contact that determine the balance and harmony of the nature.

FORMS OF INTERACTION

1. Competition: struggle between organisms to obtain the same limited resources/ space.

2. Predation
The interaction between organisms in which one species (predator) captures and eats another species (prey).

3. Parasitism
