Question 10
• List and explain the five abiotic factors discussed on pg. 8 in the textbook.
• (the answers will be on the next slide. Make sure they go on the right-hand side of your compbook. #10 will have a long answer.)

Abiotic Factors (#10)
• Water: all living things require water to carry out their life processes.
• Sunlight: sunlight is required in order for photosynthesis to occur.
• Oxygen: oxygen is so important to the functioning of the human body that you can only live a few minutes with out it
• Temperature: the temperatures that are typical of an area determine the types of organisms that can live there.
• Soil: the type of soil in different areas influences the kinds of plants that can grow there. Soil is also used as a home for many organisms.

Question 11
• What are the four levels of organization?
• 1. Organism• 2. Population• 3. Community• 4. Ecosystem
![Page 15: Environmental Science Chapter 1: Section 1 Living Things and the Environment Double-Column Notes (please complete in your compbook)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ce05503460f949aa732/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Question 12

Question 13
• What is a population? Give an example.
• All members of one species in a particular area are called populations. The 400 million prairie dogs in Texas town would be an example of a population.
![Page 17: Environmental Science Chapter 1: Section 1 Living Things and the Environment Double-Column Notes (please complete in your compbook)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ce05503460f949aa732/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Question 14
• What is a community?
• All different populations that live together in an area.
![Page 18: Environmental Science Chapter 1: Section 1 Living Things and the Environment Double-Column Notes (please complete in your compbook)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ce05503460f949aa732/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Question 15• To be considered a community, different populations must live close
enough to interact. How do populations interact?
• Populations interact by using the same resources, such as food, water, and shelter.
![Page 19: Environmental Science Chapter 1: Section 1 Living Things and the Environment Double-Column Notes (please complete in your compbook)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ce05503460f949aa732/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Question 16
• What is an ecosystem?
• The community of organisms that live in a particular area, along with their nonliving surroundings.
![Page 20: Environmental Science Chapter 1: Section 1 Living Things and the Environment Double-Column Notes (please complete in your compbook)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ce05503460f949aa732/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Question 17
• Copy this statement in your compbook on the question side!
• The smallest level of organization is a single organism, which belongs to a population that includes other members of its species. The population belongs to a community of different species. The community and abiotic factors together form an ecosystem.

Question 18
• What is the study of how living things interact with each other?
• The study of ecology!!!!!
