4.1 Interdependence Among Living Organisms

HabitatSpecies

PopulationCommunityEcosystem

Habitat•The natural home of an organism where it lives and reproduce

Examples :

Species•A similar

organism or same characteristics

Population•The same species

live and reproduce in a specific habitat

Examples :

Community•Different type of population live

together in a specific habitat and interacting

with one another

Examples :

Ecosystem•The interaction of the

organisms (several community) with the

environment in a habitat

Prey - Predator

Predator:A living

organism that hunts other

living organism for food

Prey:A living

organism that is hunted by

predators

Example:Cat

Symbiosis

2.1. Commensalism2.2. Mutualism2.3. Parasitism

Commensalism

Meaning:is an interaction between two

different organisms where only one organisms benefits from the

relationship. The other organisms is neither helped nor harmed.

The organisms whichbenefits incommensalism is called the

commensal. The organisms which is not affectedis

called the host.

Example:Sea anemone (the host) uses

poisonous to protect the clown fish(the commensal) from its

predators . The sea anemone is neither helped nor harmed by the

clown fish

Example:The remora fish(the

commensal) feeds on food scattered by the shark(the host) . The shark neither

helped nor harmed by the clown fish

Remora fish with shark

commensalism

Mutualism

Meaning:An interaction that

benefits both organism

Example:Sea anemone obtains food and transport from the hermit crab

whereas hermit crab is protected from its predators by the poisonous

tentacles of the sea anemone

Example 2:The fungus and the green algae live

together in a lichen . The fungus provides water , protection and

nutrients to the algae whereas the algae provides the fungus with food

produced during photosynthesis

lichen on Corylus

mutualism

Mynah and buffalo

Parasitism

Meaning:An interaction in which one

organism (the parasite) benefits but the others organism(the host) is

harmed

Example:The tapeworm(the parasite) in the human’s intestine(the host) feeds on nutrients in the human’s blood

whereas the human may suffer from abdominal pain , bloatin and

diarrhoea

Example 2:Ticks and lice (parasite) live on the on the skin of

mammals (hosts) and suck their blood .

The tapeworm in the small intestine

The ticks

parasitism

Competition

Meaning:Competition takes place when organisms living in the same

habitat compete to obtain common need such as shelter , water , mate

, minerals ,food or light

Intra-specific competition is the competition between organisms of the same

species , such as wolves compete for meat .

Competition become stronger when the common needs in

ecosystem are limited

Inter-specific competition is the competition

between organisms of different species , such as

crows and wolves compete for meats

Biological control agents for specific pests PMR03

•Biological control has many advantages as compared to using pesticides. Some of them are 1.does not pollute the environment2.does not kill other pests because natural enemies are used is cheap and safe to use

Producers, Consumers and Decomposers   Producers are all green plants that make food

through photosynthesis. Consumers are animals that eat plants or other

animals. Decomposers are organisms that decompose

dead organisms (animals or plants) and change them into simple substances. Examples of decomposers are bacteria and fungi.

 

FOOD WEBS PMR 03, 04, 07

A food web consists of several food chains that are interlinked.

The organisms in a food web interact with each other.

FOOD WEBS PMR 03, 04, 07

Food Chains PMR 06, PMR 2010

A pyramid of numbers shows the number of organism at each link of the food chain.

From the base of the pyramid to the top◦ the number of organisms decrease◦ the size of the organisms increase◦ more energy is lost

The term photosynthesis comes from two root words photo, which means “light”, and synthesis, which means putting together.

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use light to produce food.

Green plants manufacture glucose from water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight in their chlorophyll.

Oxygen is released in the process. The glucose is stored as starch in the plants.

Respiration Respiration is the oxidation of food in the

body’s cell to release energy, carbon dioxide and water.
