Environment includes nonliving things such as...

• biotic and abiotic factors

• temperature, precipitation, and pollution

• herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores

What term is used for a characteristic that helps an organism live in its environment?

• mutation

• adaptation

• integration

Which answer best describes what she means by "the living things change too?"

• Within the population, some organisms will have the adaptation and survive.  They will reproduce and make more with that trait.  If it was not the most common trait before, you will see the population change to have more of this trait.  Individual organisms are not changing.

• Individual organisms realize that they don't fit well with the environment.  They will do anything to survive, so they change themselves to better match the environment or will reproduce and intentionally make more with the beneficial trait.
