BiomesBiome: are the various regions of ourplanet as distinguished by their similarclimate, fauna and flora.
Global distribution of biomes can beinfluenced by temperature and rainfall.
Can you think of any examples of biomes?

EcosystemsAll living organisms interact with other livingthings and their non-living surroundings.
We call this interaction an ecosystem.

An ecosystem is made up from different parts:
• Community
• Habitat• Population
Components of an Ecosystem

HabitatA habitat is the place where an organism lives.

What habitats are in this ecosystem?

PopulationIn an ecosystem, a group of organisms made of one species is called a population.
How many can you get right?

CommunityA community is all the living organismstogether in an ecosystem.
This means that:
Community+ Habitat = Ecosystem

Identifying Ecosystem Components
Think What are three habitats in this ecosystem?
How do the communities in these habitats differ?
Why are organisms restricted to their habitats?
![Page 25: Unit 3 - Life on Earth](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081801/56816678550346895dda15e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Biotic and Abiotic FactorsMany factors can have an effect on ecosystems.
Biotic factors – factors relating to living things, e.g. predation, competition.Abiotic factors – non-living factors which affect an ecosystem, e.g. temperature, pH

Research an Ecosystem• You will be allocated an ecosystem
card.
• Your role is to find out the answers to the questions on the card.
• Prepare to produce a team poster about your ecosystem.
![Page 29: Unit 3 - Life on Earth](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081801/56816678550346895dda15e8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
One stay, two strayWhen listening to the presentations, find out;
• The temperature and rainfall expected in this ecosystem.
• An example of a plant and animal found there.
• A human influence affecting that ecosystem.

Ecological Niche• A niche is the role an organism plays in
its ecosystem.
• This includes where it lives and breeds, what it feeds on, and what feeds on it

Did these animals come from one species or two?
![Page 34: Unit 3 - Life on Earth](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081801/56816678550346895dda15e8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is the best definition of a species?
1. A group of animals that can interbreed
2. A group of organisms that can have offspring of their own
3. A group of organisms that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring
4. A group of organisms that have characteristics in common
