B16 Adaptation,interdependence and competition

Cards (12)

  • Competition occurs when two or more individuals compete for limited resources such as food, water, shelter, space, etc.
  • Interdependence is the relationship between different species where they depend on one another.
  • Adaptations are features that allow organisms to survive in their environment.
  • Intraspecific competition is the competition between members of the same species
  • Abiotic factors refer to non-living components of an ecosystem, including physical (e.g., sunlight) and chemical (e.g., pH level).
  • Biotic factors refer to living components of an ecosystem, including plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
  • Biotic factors refer to living components of an ecosystem, including other plants and animals.
  • The abiotic factor most important for plant growth is light intensity.
  • Light intensity affects the rate at which plants grow and develop.
  • The process of adaptation involves changes over time through natural selection.
  • Adaptations are physical characteristics that allow organisms to survive in their environment.
  • Interspecific competition is the competition between different species
