Introduction
Hi my name is Onaeja Lawson I am here to teach you about ecological relationships like abiotic is [non-living] and biotic is [living] stuff like that but I have more information to tell you than just abiotic and biotic is so here it goes hope you like it. What does abiotic and biotic mean? Abiotic - Physical rather than biological; not derived from living organisms. Biotic - Relating to, or resulting from living things, especially in their ecological relations. Explain each of the following: organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biomes. Organisms - An organism is a living thing. It is easy to recognise a living thing, but not so easy to define it. Animals and plants are …show more content…
Ecosystems - An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system. Biomes - Biomes are regions of the world with similar climate (weather , temperature) animals and plants. There are terrestrial biomes (land) and aquatic biomes , both freshwater and marine. Biotic relationships (mutalism, commensalism, parasitism, predation, and competition).Mutalism - The doctrine that mutual dependence is necessary to social well-being.Commensalism - An association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm.Parasitism - Is a relationship between two things in which one of them (the parasite) benefits from or lives off of the other, like fleas on your dog.Parasitism and its root, parasite, come from para-, meaning"beside" or "next to," and sito, meaning "bread or food.Predation - The preying of one animal on others.Competition - The activity or condition of competing. What would happen to the populations if one predator or prey were removed explain both scenarios? The most obvious result of the removal of the top predators in an
