BASIC-NEEDS-OF-LIVING-THINGS AND THE ECOSYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES
- 1. BASIC NEEDS OF LIVING THINGS
- 2. You can find many things in the world. Look at your surroundings. What are the living things you can see around you?
- 3. Animals
- 4. Flowers
- 5. Fruits
- 6. Human Beings
- 7. Every living organism on earth needs some basic things to survive. The amount, way, form, or kind of these needs vary from organism to organism.
- 13. Animals eat plants to survive. Plants get nutrients from soil to survive. Human beings eat plants and animals to survive.
- 14. 1. Herbivores- are living things that only eat plants to get the food and energy they need FOUR TYPES OF CONSUMERS
- 15. 2. Carnivores- an organism that mostly eats meat, or the flesh of animals
- 16. 3. Omnivores- an organism that eats plants and animals
- 17. Food is one of the sources of energy for all living organisms on this planet. This food is available from different sources. Living organisms are further divided based on the modes of nutrition: Autotrophs Heterotrophs
- 18. AUTOTROPHS AND HETEROTROPHS “AUTOTROPHS are organisms that prepare their own food through the process of photosynthesis, whereas HETEROTROPHS are organisms that cannot prepare their own food and depend upon autotrophs for nutrition.”
- 20. Awesome 8 Carnivorous Plants •Some plants aren’t eaten by bugs—they eat the bugs themselves! Nearly 700 species of these carnivorous plants live throughout the world.
- 25. Food (Nutrients): Living things need energy for function. Energy is needed to grow, reproduce, move and to work. Think what would happen if you stayed for three days without food.
- 26. Try to stop breathing. Will you be able to hold your breath for a long time?
- 27. AIR Without air no life would exist, even plants could not go through the process of photosynthesis, and without this process, animals should not be able to live. Without air, no sound will exist. Without air, the pollination of crops will not happen and there would be no food for humans.
- 28. Air is made up of several gasses, but the two most important gases are oxygen and carbon dioxide. Without oxygen, animals will die and without carbon dioxide, plants cannot survive.
- 29. WATER Drinking water does more than just quench your thirst. It's essential to keeping your body functioning properly and feeling healthy. Nearly all of your body's major systems depend on water to function and survive.
- 30. SHELTER -provides protection and safety against the elements, ensuring the well-being of individuals and communities. In the face of harsh conditions, extreme temperatures, or potential threats, having reliable shelter you can trust is essential.
- 34. ENVIRONMENT / HABITAT A habitat with the right temperature: too cold or too hot? Every living organism needs the ideal temperature to survive either on land or in water.

- 42. Basically, all living things depend on their environment to supply them with all they need, including food, water and shelter. Their environment consists of factors– such as soil, air, shelter, food and temperature and also other organisms in their environment. They also need other organisms in order to survive.
- 43. LEVEL OF ORGANIZATION IN THE ENVIRONMENT Organism → Population → Community → Ecosystem → Biomes
- 44. ORGANISMS: are individual living things.
- 45. POPULATION: organisms of the same species that live in the same area, interact with one another, and produce fertile offspring.
- 46. COMMUNITY: consists of populations of different species that live in the same area and interact together.
- 47. ECOSYSTEM: consists of living things and their environment. A lake could be considered an ecosystem. So could a dead log on a forest floor. Both the lake and log contain a variety of species that interact with each other and with abiotic factors.
- 49. The Niche Niche organism’s occupation (role), where it lives, and way in which organism’s use conditions they exist in • Food it eats • Place in food web • How it gets food • Range of temperatures needed for survival • When and how it reproduces
- 50. are also known as foreshores or seashores. These are areas that are above water at low tide, and under water at high tide. INTERTIDAL ZONE
- 51. INTERTIDAL ZONE
- 53. is a partially enclosed body of water along the coast where the fresh water from the rivers and streams meets and mixes with salt water from the seas or the ocean. ESTUARIES
- 56. The Habitat •Physical environment to which an organisms has become adapted and survives in.
- 57. Competitive Exclusion Principle •Two different species cannot occupy the same niche in the same geographic area. If they do they will compete with one another for the same food and other resources. Eventually, one species will out compete the other.
- 58. DIFFERENT INTERACTION IN THE ECOSYSTEM
- 73. Let’s Try!
- 78. FOOD CHAIN
- 79. Food chain, in ecology, the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism. Food chains intertwine locally into a food web because most organisms consume more than one type of animal or plant.
- 80. FOOD WEB
- 81. BIOMES: a group of similar ecosystems with the same general abiotic factors and primary producers.
- 82. Biomes may be terrestrial or aquatic.
- 83. TROPICAL RAINFOREST •Make up one of Earth’s largest biomes (major life zones), are dominated by broad- leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy (layer of foliage) and contain a diverse array of vegetation and other life.
- 86. Why do need to protect and conserve our tropical rainforest? • We need the rainforest to produce oxygen and clean atmosphere to help us breathe. The number one reason of climate change is the wanton disregard for our rainforest if illegal cutting of young trees is rampant. The effect will be the destruction of the water cycle, killing of important species of flora (plants/flowers) and fauna (animals/both vertebrates and invertebrates) that abound in them.
- 87. MANGROVE SWAMPS •Mangrove trees dominate this wetland ecosystem due to their ability to survive in both salt and fresh water.
- 88. Why do we need to protect Mangrove Swamps? •Mangrove forests nurture our estuaries and fuel our nature-based economies. Mangrove forests also provides habitat and refuge to a wide array of wildlife such as birds, fish, invertebrates, mammals and plants.
- 90. CORAL REEFS •Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Coral polyps, the animals primarily responsible for building reefs, can take many forms: large reef building colonies, graceful flowing fans, and even small, solitary organisms. Thousands of species of corals have been discovered; some live in warm, shallow, tropical seas and others in the cold, dark depths of the ocean.
- 92. PROTECTING AND CONSERVING THE CORAL REEFS •Practice safe and responsible diving and snorkeling. Avoid touching reefs or anchoring your boat on the reefs. •Take a reef-friendly approach to sun protection. Some ingredients in sunscreen can be harmful or to even kill corals.
- 93. •Avoid throwing all trash or waste on seas and oceans especially those that don’t decompose. They may clog the corals and eventually kill them. Dispose all trash properly, and if possible burry them. Recycle those that can be recycled such as plastics. •Educate all fishermen not to use dynamite when going fishing for it will destroy the coral reefs.
