Biotic Abiotic Factors Are you a Survivor Someone
Biotic & Abiotic Factors
Are you a Survivor? Someone give a summary about “Hunger Games”
What does it take to survive? Could you do it? Work with a partner to make a list. What would you take on a survivor trip?
What do other living organisms need to survive?
Survival Needs 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Energy (food) Shelter Space Soil Climate/weather Mates
We are surrounded by living and non-living things. A cat playing with a toy is obviously living. A pigeon flying from a tree … both tree and pigeon are living
The Characteristics of Life All living things…. …no matter how different from each other they may be…. …. share a set of common characteristics.
…. are made up of units called cells. …. reproduce.
…. are based on a universal genetic code called DNA. …. grow and develop. …. use energy.
…. respond to their environment (stimuli). …. maintain homeostasis.
…. evolve, or change, over time.
Biotic Bacteria Yeast: A unicellular fungi All living factors within an environment.
What does the prefix “bio” mean? What are the non-living things called? a Think of the prefix “ ”
Abiotic All non-living factors within an environment.
How a biotic organisms adapts to it’s abiotic factors & interacts with other living factors determines it’s survival.
Abiotic Factors help Biotic organisms meet their needs for survival Ex: • Temperature • Sunlight • Water • Oxygen • Carbon dioxide • Soil • Nutrients • Space
• Sunlight Is there a lot or a little in this environment? • Temperature Is it hot or cold? How might this affect the organisms that live here?
• What do you notice about the light? • Could you survive where these musk ox do?
Necessary for all life (as we know it). How does the amount of water affect an ecosystem?
Every living organism needs room to find food, find a mate, find shelter and more!
How does soil play a part in an ecosystem?
You can use a venn diagram to show the similarities and differences between ideas. Which circle is biotic and which is abiotic? What could you write in the center?
Identify the Biotic and Abiotic factors in your venn diagram Biotic and abiotic factors combine to create a system (ecosystem) Abiotic
