Title: Science 10 - Animals and Their Environment

  • ANIMALS THEIR ENVIRONMENT

2
Ecology
  • Definition the study of how organisms interact
    with their environment
  • Two Key Ideas
  • Where do organisms live?
  • How many organisms are present?

Habitat
  • The place where animals live
  • Different animals have different habitats, but
    each animal survive best in its natural habitat
  • An animal lives where it can find 1) food, 2)
    water, 3) shelter, and 4) a mate

12
Environment
  • The word environment is used to describe what a
    habitat is like.
  • These are the ABIOTIC FACTORS which can affect
    animals such as temperature, amount of rain fall,
    type of soil, etc.
  • Example Deserts are very dry and typically have
    hot temperatures during the day.

Ecosystem
  • Ecosystem consists of how living things are
    affected by two things
  • BIOTIC FACTORS Living parts of an environment
    and how they interact (example animals,
    bacteria, plants).
  • ABIOTIC FACTORS Non-living parts of an
    environment and how it affects living things
    (example temperature, amount of rain, etc.)

Animal Adaptation
  • Animals are best suited to survive in their
    habitat
  • Adaptations are features which organisms have
    that help them survive in their habitat

Welcome to the Desert
This place was a bit too.
22
A Camels Habitat is in the Desert
Hot, Dry but at least you dont get bothered by
people
23
Adaptations of the Camel for Desert Life
  • The hump stores fat, which they are able to draw
    upon for water.
  • They have webbed feet (to prevent sinking in the
    sand)
  • They can close their nostrils and they have a
    double row of eyelashes to keep out the sand.
  • They can endure long periods without drinking -
    up to 17 days.
  • When they do drink, they can take up to 136
    litres (30 gallons) at a time. By producing dry
    faeces and little urine, they can conserve water.
  • Their body temperature can rise 6-8 degree
    Celsius before sweating.

How is the Seal adapted to its environment?
Streamlined shape.
Forward-facing eyes for clear vision ahead.
Strong teeth to catch fish.
Flippers to help it swim.
Thick layer of body fat to keep it warm.
Hind legs have evolved into a a strong
rudder-like tail.
