the winter habitat
Examples of physical environmental factors that make up an environment include:
temperature, light, moisture
producers, consumers
herbivores, carnivores, omnivores
Arctic, woodland, pond.
An ecosystem is:
plumbing and wiring in a house that uses less water and energy than older systems
all the different physical environmental factors that affect a habitat
all the different types of organisms in a habitat
all the organisms in a habitat together with the physical environmental factors.
What does a rabbit do when winter comes?
it hibernates
it grows thicker fur
it migrates
it dies
At a certain lake, the community is smaller in winter because:
some of each species of animal have died
some species of birds have migrated

Look at the food web. What might happen if all the rabbits died?
There would be more hawks because there are less rabbits in competition with them.
There would be fewer lizards because the hawks would eat more of them.
There would be less grass because it would be eaten by the grasshoppers.
There would be more snakes because they would not be in competition with the rabbits.

oak tree --> caterpillar --> bird

The conditions in a habitat caused by physical environmental factors.

Look at the graph. Why do the numbers of cheetahs follow the same pattern as the number of zebras?
Because cheetahs eat zebras.
There is no pattern.
Because there was a disease which affects both species of animals.
Because cheetahs compete with zebras.
What will happen to the number of cheetahs if the number of zebras decrease?
it will decrease
It will increase
It will stay the same
