The Organism In The Environment
Overview
No organism lives in isolation. Every species is part of a web of relationships with other living things and with the non-living environment around it. Understanding how populations interact with their habitats is the starting point of ecology.
In this lesson you will learn the key ecological terms, discover how to estimate population size using quadrats, and explore the abiotic and biotic factors that control where organisms live and how many of them there are.
Objectives
- Understand the terms population, community, habitat and ecosystem
- Investigate the population size of an organism in two different areas using quadrats
- Understand how abiotic and biotic factors affect the population size and distribution of organisms
