What are the environmental conditions needed by living things to survive and relationship between organisms and their environment?
Both biotic and abiotic factors are needed by the organisms to survive in a given environment. Survival of the fittest is the name of the game. The one that is well fitted to their ecological habitat will managed to grow and prolifically survive given the favorable conditions both in biotic and abiotic components of their ecosystem.
Living organisms have basic needs. Plants need air, water, nutrients, sunlight, and space to grow. Animals need air, food, water, and shelter. Living organisms depend on each other and on their environments, or habitats, to meet their needs for survival. Living things need need air, water, food and shelter to survive. There is a difference between needs and wants. Students will be able to identify the four things that organisms need to survive. Students will realize through exploring the Nature Gardens that organisms' needs for survival are fewer than wants. The temperature and atmosphere of the earth make life comfortable for the organism. Earth is at an adequate distance from the sun which gives us heat that is neither too hot nor too cold. Earth has enough amounts of water, food, and air for the survival of living organisms. All living things depend on their environment to supply them with what they need, including food, water, and shelter. Their environment consists of physical factors such as soil, air, and temperature and also of other organisms. Insects pollinate flowers, which provide the insects with nectar and pollen as food. Fungi obtain their energy from breaking down dead wood to release nutrients for the living trees. Bacteria in our guts help us digest our food, and we provide them with a stable environment with plenty of food for themselves. At the coarsest level, ecological interactions can be defined as either intra-specific or inter-specific. Intra-specific interactions are those that occur between individuals of the same species, while interactions that occur between two or more species are called inter-specific interactions. At the coarsest level, ecological interactions can be defined as either intra-specific or inter-specific. Intra-specific interactions are those that occur between individuals of the same species, while interactions that occur between two or more species are inter-specific interactions. Individual organisms live together in an ecosystem and depend on one another. In fact, they have many different types of interactions with each other, and many of these interactions are critical for their survival.
