Adaptations,
interdependence and
competition
Biology chapter 16
,Exam questions I got
wrong
• TRANSECTS
• Say exactly where you would place the transect if
the information is provided in the question
• IDENTIFY may be relevant instead of count – as
the data may just be for its presence
• Repeat an experiment with more transects e.g. 3
, 16.1 The • An ecosystem is the interaction of a
community of living organisms with the n
living (abiotic) parts of their environment
importance of • Animals and plants are interdependent –
communities network of relationships between differe
organisms within a community
• If one species becomes extinct the entire
ecosystem will fall apart
• A stable community is one where all the
species and environmental factors are in
balance so that population sizes remain f
constant.
