(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Biology

Ecology is a branch of biology focused on the study of interactions between living organisms and the environment in which they live. An ecosystem is composed of various biotic (living organisms) and abiotic (non-living factors such as light, temperature, and humidity) elements. (1) Explain the concept of ecological niche and how it relates to the biotic and abiotic factors of the ecosystem. (2) Give an example of how human intervention can affect an ecosystem and what possible impacts this intervention can have on the living organisms in that environment. (3) Why is the preservation and conservation of biodiversity important for the balance of ecosystems and human well-being?
