Last week we began studying Ecology, and looking at how living things are organized ecologically. We also started studying populations and finding ways to find population sizes.This week we continue looking at population studies, and we will also discuss the interactions that organisms have within an ecosystem. We will answer questions like: Why is it necessary for everything in an ecosystem to work together? How are organisms and their environments linked together?
