What else can I help you with?
Soil water and minerals are examples of?
Abiotic factors in an ecosystem. They are non-living components that affect the living organisms within an ecosystem. These components are essential for the survival of plants and other organisms in the ecosystem.
What is it called when there are not enough resources for individual organisms?
It is called resource scarcity or resource limitation. When there are not enough resources such as food, water, and shelter to support the needs of individual organisms in a given ecosystem, it can lead to competition and impact their survival and reproduction.
How is sustainable habitat created?
it is an ecosystem that produces food and shelter for people and other organisms, without resource depletion and on such a way that no external waste is produced.
What usually happens to all the organisms in an ecosystem that experiences predictable yclical changes in environment?
Organisms in an ecosystem that experiences predictable cyclic changes in the environment often have adaptations to cope with these fluctuations. They may exhibit seasonal behaviors such as migration, hibernation, or changes in reproductive cycles to align with the environmental changes. These organisms have evolved strategies to thrive in specific conditions and fulfill their ecological roles within the ecosystem.
How do organisms survive in a closed ecosystem?
Organisms in a closed ecosystem survive by recycling nutrients, such as through decomposition and nutrient cycling, and by forming complex food webs to ensure energy flow within the ecosystem. They also adapt behaviors to optimize resource utilization and maintain population balances to prevent overconsumption of resources. Additionally, these organisms may have evolved unique biological processes to thrive in the specific conditions of a closed ecosystem.
When a needed resource in an ecosystem becomes scarce it is called?
A limiting factor
What would happen if matter could not decompose?
If matter could not decompose, there would be a buildup of waste and dead organisms, leading to overcrowding and resource depletion. Nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning would be disrupted, ultimately causing a collapse in biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Why does one change in the ecosystem often lead to other changes in the ecosystem?
The ecosystem is comprised of several organisms and how they relate to their environment. Each organism is connected to another in one way or another and that is why one change is bound to affect all organisms in the ecosystem.
What is the leading mineral resource found near the gulf of Mexico?
oil, natural gas, petroleum, sulfur, and crawfish! we also have rocks
What is a resource that restricts the growth of a population in an ecosystem?
i dont now
Role of ecological dominance in an ecosystem?
If a species is ecologically dominant, it dominates the biomass of the ecosystem (think big dipterocarp trees dominating a rainforest). These organisms influence the ecosystem due to their huge size or enormous number. Other organisms rely on these species and removing them often has a domino effect of local extinctions.
What is a situation in which 2 or more organisms attempt to use the same scarce resources?
Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when their niches overlap, they both try to use the same resource and the resource is in short supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.
