​ECOLOGY

Ecology is a branch of science that deals with the interaction of each organism towards a common goal. and that is survival​

Open Ended

There are empty boxes below, supply them at least three (3) words that best describe the definition of ecology.

​Studying ecology is studying ecosystems, and a countless number of ecosystems exist in the world. In fact, you can identify them outside of your school, house, in your garden fields forest, etc..

A defense mechanism ​that disguises their appearance and blends to its environment to a potential predator.

CAMOUFLA​GE

​STRUCTURAL

ANIMALS WAYS TO ADAPT TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT

CHEMICAL DEFENSES ​

​the act or art of copying or imitating closely; mimicking. the resemblance was shown by one animal species, esp an insect, to another, which protects it from predators.

BIODIVERSITY ​AND ITS BENEFITS

​DIRECT ECONOMIC VALUE

​It supplies us with essential resources, raw materials, and designs that have direct economic value. It enhances the stability and productivity of ecosystems which in turn provide essential, under-appreciated services

​INDIRECT ECONOMIC VALUE

​These are those ways by which we don't physically use a plant or animal, but by virtue of its existence it provides services that keep the ecosystem healthy

AESTHETIC ECONOMIC VALUE

​Aesthetic value refers to the value which is generally based on the appearance or beauty of the object or commodity and the emotional response associated with it
