How is interaction important in an ecosystem?

Answer 1

An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment. Sometimes adaptations are learned during the organism's lifetime. When two species live closely together in a relationship that lasts over time symbiosis occurs.

Answer 2

Interdependency is easily understood if you consider a simple example of citizens in a community. One citizen tends a garden. Another makes furniture. Another person raises cattle. Each citizen "needs" something from the other citizens in order to survive and prosper. When people sell or share things they produce, the interdependency needs are met or filled. If each citizen keeps their goods or products, interdependency fails. Then, people begin to "take" what they need, which still meets the dependency needs but it is not a give and take.

Ecosystems operate on the same principles. Wild animals must eat and eliminate waste. Their waste fertilizes plants and trees. The plants and trees grow, which feeds and shelters the animals. Insects feed on animal waste, and in turn, some animals feed on some types of insects insects. Snakes feed on small animals that fed on insects which fed on animal waste. The interdependency trail goes on and on.

Answer 3

Interaction is very important in an ecosystem because that is how organisms receive food and energy. This is also how an organisms population does not grow too large.

Answer 4

they're important because in some cases, without interactions, ecosystems could 'perish'.
