Living Things and the Environment

What needs are met by an organism's environment?
Need like food, water,  and shelter are met by and organism's environment.
What are the two parts of an organism's habitat with which it interacts?
Biotic and Abiotic factors are the two parts of an organism's habitat with which it interacts.
What are the levels of organization within an ecosystem?
From smallest to largest, the levels of organization within an ecosystem are as follows: 
1. Organism
2.Population
3.Community
4. Ecosystem
Why do you find different kinds of organisms in different habitats?
Because many different organisms need the same type of ecosystem.
Think about what will soon start happening within Belgrade. How do animals prepare for such a change?
Soon animals will start hibernating for the winter.


This is a video about a team of researchers, and gray whales. I'm focusing mostly on the whales.
What would happen if we took away one or more of the living or nonliving factors in its environment? Which factors could they survive without?
If we took away one of the biggest factors in their environment, the water, they would die. Similarly, if we took away their food, plankton and small fish, they would starve and die. One factor the could EASILY live without is the pollution and trash in the water. They probably could live without a few other factors like some larger fish that they don't eat.
