  1. Interactions among Organisms/Adaptations

  2. Limiting factors • Resource in an environment is scarce…limits the amount of organisms in an eco system • Carrying capacity = total amount an ecosystem can support Interactions among organisms

  3. 1. Competition = struggle with one another or the environment to survive • 2. Predator/Prey = predator eats prey • Ex. Bird eats worm • 3. Symbiosis = close relationship • Mutualism = both organisms benefit • Commensalism = one organisms benefits, the other is unaffected • Parasitism = one benefits, one is harmed • Ex. Parasite vs host Interactions among organisms
