Interaction & Interdependence in Nature
Give me an example of interaction in nature
A bee pollinates a flower.
A bird eats berries.
A lion hunts a zebra.
Humans plant trees.
What are the three levels of Biodiversity
Genetic Diversity Species Diversity Ecosystem Diversity
What do you think defines the word "Interconnectedness" ?
The state of being connected or related.
Why is there interaction in nature?
Interaction exists in nature because living organisms affect and respond to one another.
What is Biodiversity?
Biodiversity is the variety of living organisms in a particular area or on Earth.
What is an Ecosystem?
A community of living organisms interacting with each other and their physical environment in a specific area.
Interaction is when living things affect each other or their environment.
What is Genetic Diversity?
The variation of genes within the same species.
What are the two components of an ecosystem?
Biotic Factors (Living)
Abiotic Factors (Non-Living)
how do bees and flowers depend on each other?
The bee depends on the flower for nectar, and the flower depends on the bee for pollination.
What is an example of ecosystem diversity within a region?
Examples:
Ocean
Forest
Desert
What are the four trophic levels in an energy pyramid?
What are the difference between interaction and interdependence?
Interaction is how organisms act or affect each other.
Interdependence is how organisms depend on each other for survival.
The difference between the three levels of Biodiversity?
Genetic Diversity is the variation of genes, species diversity is the different living organism in ecosystem, and ecosystem diversity is the variety of ecosystems within a region.
Can you identify the trophic levels from bottom to top?
TROPHIC LEVELS:
Producers
Primary Consumers (Herbivores)
Secondary Consumers (Carnivores/Omnivores)
Tertiary Consumers (Top Carnivores)
