habitat - place where organisms obtain food, H2O, shelter, and all other things needed to live, grow, and reproduce
Living Organisms and the Environment
abiotic factors - the non-living parts of an ecosystemExamples: water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, soil
biotic factors - the living parts of an ecosystemExamples: people, animals, plants
population - the members of a single species in a given area. The area can be big or small - contained or not contained
Example: (contained) Texas prairie dog - prairie dog townExample: (not contained) finback whale - whole ocean
community - all populations that live together - They live close together and interact.Example: prairie dogs and quail
ecosystem - the combination of the community and abiotic factors
ecology - the study of how living things interact with each other and their environment
