  2. How are living things organized? • Organisms • Populations • Communities • Ecosystems • Biomes

  3. A living thing is called an organism. Example: a deer

  4. All of the organisms of the same species that live in an area at the same time is called a population. Example: a herd of deer

  5. All the populations of all species that live in an area is called a community. Example: deer + rabbits + bears

  6. All the organisms living in an area, as well as the non-living parts of their environment, is called an ecosystem. Example: deer + rabbits + bears + water + temperature + sunlight + soil + air

  7. Large geographic areas that have similar climates and ecosystems are called biomes. Example: tundra, taiga, desert, etc.

  8. There are different kinds of relationships between the organisms in an ecosystem.

  9. Predator/Prey An organism that hunts and eats another organism is called a predator. The organism that the predator hunts and eats is called prey.

  10. Which one is the predator and which one is the prey? zebra lioness

  11. Which one is the predator and which one is the prey? snake roadrunner

  12. Which one is the predator and which one is the prey? fish osprey

  13. Which one is the predator and which one is the prey? fox hare

  14. Symbiosis Symbiosis is when two organisms live together, temporarily or for a longer time, and at least one of the organisms benefits from the relationship.

  15. Different kinds of symbiosis Commensalism Mutualism one organism benefits one organism is unaffected + 0 one organism benefits one organism is harmed + - both organisms benefit + + Parasitism

  16. More about Parasitism The organism that benefits in a parasitic relationship is called the parasite. The organism that is harmed in a parasitic relationship is called the host.

  17. Identify the type of relationships in the following examples:

  18. Moray Eel with Cleaner Fish Mutualism Moray Eel gets a clean mouth. Cleaner Fish gets a meal.
