• The more diverse an ecosystem is, the more stable it is.
Big Idea:
![Page 3: Unit 6Biomes. The more diverse an ecosystem is, the more stable it is. Big Idea:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ebd5503460f94bc6fd6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Organism: a living thing• Example: bacteria, fish, frog, deer, tree,
grasshopper, worm (all living things)
What is an organism?

• Species: a group of organisms that can produce offspring together.• Example: mule deer, mountain lion, red
fox
What is a species?

• Population: group of organisms of the same species.• Example: a herd of mule deer.
What is a population?

• Ecosystem: a community of different organisms together with their environment.• Example: Deer, squirrels, birds, bugs in
a forest full of trees and a lake.

• There are many different ecosystems.• Different ecosystems support different
organisms.

• Habitat: the natural home of an organism.• Example: A mule deer’s habitat, or
home, is a forest.
What is a habitat?

• Biome: A large community of plants and animals that live together in a distinct region.• Example: A forest biome is very
different from a desert biome.
What is a biome?

• Arctic Tundra• Deciduous Forest• Desert• Tropical Rainforest
