Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Ecosystem a system involving the interactions between a community of living organisms in a particular area and its nonliving environment Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Limiting Factors anything that restricts the number of individuals in a population. They are biotic and abiotic factors Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Biotic Factors Living parts of the environment -animals -plants -bacteria Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Abiotic Factors Non-living parts of the environment - sunlight - air -water -temperature - space Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Competition occurs whenever more than one individual or population tries to make use of the same resource Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Intraspecific competition members of the same species compete for the same resources Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Interspecific competition When different species compete for resources ENVIRONMENT ORGANIZATION • INDIVIDUAL – One organism of a species. • POPULATION- All of the organisms of the same species that live in the same area. • COMMUNITY- All of the living organisms that live in the same area. • ECOSYSTEM- All of the living organisms and nonliving factors in the same area. • BIOSPHERE- Anywhere life is found on the planet. INDIVIDUAL ECOSYSTEM POPULATION COMMUNITY BIOSPHERE BIOTIC FACTORS- The living or once living factors in an ecosystem. Ex. human, hawk, plants, fish, turtle ABIOTIC FACTORS- All of the nonliving factors in an ecosystem. Ex. land, water, air, temperature, rocks, sunlight HABITAT - The place where an organism lives. NICHE - The role an organism has in its ecosystem. What to highlight • You should not highlight everything, to start, you will highlight/underline what is in red • What we are highlighting will help us answer the essential question: • What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Creating questions • Look at what you’ve highlighted • What you have highlighted should be the answer to your question • We will do this together Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem?

Biotic Factors Living parts of the environment -animals -plants -bacteria Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors? Abiotic Factors Non-living parts of the environment - sunlight - air -water -temperature - space Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Competition When more than one individual or population tries to make use of the same resource Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? Intraspecific competition members of the same species compete for the same resources Topic: Limiting Factors Essential Question: What do organisms depend on and compete for in an ecosystem? What are the 2 types of competition? Interspecific competition When different species compete for resources Now let’s write a summary Look at each question you wrote on your own, and answer each question in a complete sentence. -What is an ecosystem? -What are limiting factors? -What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors? -What are the 2 types of competition?
