AQA GCSE Biology: Ecosystems, Interdependence & Adaptations

This deck introduces the core concepts of ecology. It defines key terms like ecosystem, community, and population. It covers the impact of abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) factors on a community, the concept of interdependence, and how organisms are adapted to their environment.

The background is a beautifully blurred bokeh of a lush, sun-drenched meadow, subtly hinting at the wider ecosystem and the interplay of living and non-living factors, composed for a wide 3:2 landscape frame.

Lesson#1
Welcome to this deck on ecology, the study of how living things interact with each other and their environment. You will learn the key terms used to describe ecosystems, how species depend on each other for survival, and the amazing adaptations organisms have to live in their specific habitats.
Lesson#2
To understand ecology, we start with a few key definitions. An ecosystem is the largest unit, covering all the living organisms and the non-living environment in a particular area. Within that, you have a community, which is all the different species living together. Each of those species forms a population, which is all the individuals of that one species in the area. And finally, the place where an organism lives is its habitat.
