Essential Question: Why doesnt one type of living thing take over the
world?
Overview:
The fundamental concept of ecology is that living organisms interact with
and are dependent on their environment and each other. These interactions
result in a flow of energy, and a cycling of materials that are essential for
life. Competition can occur between members of different species for an
ecological niche. Competition can also occur within species. Competition
may be for abiotic resources, such as space, water, air, and shelter, and for
biotic resources, such as food and mates. Students should be familiar with
the concept of food chains and webs.
