Ecosystem
Environment
Set of physical, chemical, biological and social conditions present in a habitat.
Habitat
The place or environment in which an organism or a community of organisms lives and develops. Habitats can vary as these can be forests, deserts, rivers, lakes, wetlands, jungles, jungles and so on.
Biosphere
Key component of the Earth that sustains the diversity of life as it is what makes up the air, land, water,. That is where living things are found.
Organism
Biotic factor that lives in a habitat, interacts with it and is composed of a biological structure and functions.
Animals
Cow, snake, pig, cocodrile, jiraffe, elephant, lion
Protists
Algae, Protozoa, Plasmodium,
Monerans

Common terms
Ecosystem: A system formed by the interaction of living organisms and their physical environment.
Biodiversity: The variety of life on Earth, including the diversity of species, genes and ecosystems.
Biome: A geographic region with a specific set of climatic and ecological conditions that influence its vegetation and fauna.
Species: A group of organisms that can reproduce with each other and produce fertile offspring.
Habitat: The place where a species lives and that provides the necessary conditions for its survival.
Mutualism: A beneficial interaction between two species in which both benefit.
Extinction: The permanent disappearance of a species.
Branch of biology concerned with the study of the relationships between living things and their environment, including the interactions of organisms with each other and with their environment, and the patterns and processes that influence the distribution and abundance of species in the environment. environment environment.
