Organisms and Their Environment
All organisms have properties of life, including the ability to grow and reproduce. Therefore, an organism is not a closed system. Individual organisms depend on and are influenced by the environment.
Habitat and Organism
- Habitat is the physical environment in which an organism lives. Each organism has particular requirements for its survival and lives where the environment provides for those needs.
- A habitat may support many different species having similar requirements. For example, a single ocean habitat may support a whale, a sea-horse, seal, phytoplankton and many other kinds of organisms.
