Habitat A HABITAT: is the place where an organism lives out its life Examples include the bottom of a stream, a maple tree, a pond, a park A habitat can change due to natural and human causes
Ecosystems The biosphere’s systems are called: ECOSYSTEMS All ecosystems must have a constant source of energy (usually the sun) and cycles to reuse raw materials. Examples are the water, nitrogen cycle, oxygen- CO2 cycle An ecosystem is made up of all the LIVING and NON-LIVING components in a given area.
What are the essential parts to all ecosystems? An ecosystem is all of the living and non- living things in an area.
Habitats: Terrestrial: Aquatic: Niche: land water marine: salt water estuary: where fresh and salt water mix role a species plays in a community Terrestrial: Aquatic: Niche:
