Ecology EQ’s 2. Abiotic and biotic components influence each other. For instance‚ temperature (abiotic factor) can make plants (biotic factor) reproduce more or reproduce less. Also water‚ an abiotic factor‚ has an effect on how animals‚ a biotic factor‚ survive in certain areas of the world. 3. Because a different niche allows multiple species of organisms to coexist. If all organisms had the same niche‚ then there would be heavy competition for food‚ shelter‚ etc. Having different niches gives

between organisms and the environment; the connectedness between living systems and non-living systems on the Earth is called ecology.

One area is for note taking‚ the second is for review notes‚ and the last one is for summarizing. Cornell notes was invented to benefit students in the classroom and help them formulate a way in which they can understand

Cornell Notes Light & Matter Force and Motion – M2 KEY POINTS Force and Motion Force: Distance Newton: First Law Newton: Second Law Newton: Third Law Newton: Gravity Law NOTES When an object changes its position in respect to a point and time‚ that’s motion. Force is what changes the motion of an object with mass and modifies its velocity. Note that force can act at a distance. Magnetism is a type of non-contact force. Friction in the other hand only operates in contact of objects
