Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe what plants and animals compete for, and consider how adaptations help organisms to survive and compete in their environment.

Show transcript
Organisms compete for resources such as food, water, space, shelter, light, mates, pollinators and seed dispersers. The populations of species within a community are interdependent (they rely upon and affect one another). Organisms have adaptations that help them survive and compete in their environment. Adaptations can be physiological, structural or behavioural. Extremophiles are adapted to live in extreme environments, e.g. high salt concentration or very high or low temperature.
