Main Concepts
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of populations that can exist in an ecosystem based on available resources.
A population is a group of organisms of the same species in a region.
Obtaining and processing nutrients for growth is a life function of an organism.
Competition for sunlight affects the growth of a plant.
Access to nutrient-rich soil affects the growth of a plant.
Availability of resources in an ecosystem affects the growth and survival of organisms or populations.
Availability of resources in an ecosystem can be affected by invasive species, disease, climate, natural hazards, and human activities.
Living things in an ecosystem require food, shelter, water, space, nutrient-rich soil, and other resources for survival.
Access to water affects the growth of a plant.
Different biomes support different varieties of organisms.
An ecosystem consists of a group of living things and the environment in which they live.
