After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Categorize the different biotic potential and
environmental resistance (e. g. diseases,
availability of food and predators) that affect
population explosion
2. Identify biotic factors and abiotic factors; and
3. Categorize biotic potential and environmental
resistance that affect population growth

deals with the study of these
relationships of interaction and
interdependence between living things
and their environment. The area
wherein living things associate with
each other and with their environment
D is known as the ecosystem.

Association among species help shape
ecosystem.
What
is it? The ecosystem comprises of all living
and non-living things that interact
with each other in a given territory.
Every living piece of an ecosystem,
for example, animals, plants, and
other living being are called biotic
factors. Living organisms interact in
D the ecosystem to obtain food in order
to survive.
What
is it? Their interactions can be used to
classify them as to producers, consumers
and decomposers. The non-living parts of
an ecosystem are called abiotic factors.
Living creatures in a biological system
can't be separated independently from the
abiotic or non-living components in their
D natural surroundings.
What Biotic Potential and Environmental Resistance
is it? Biotic potential and environmental resistance
are the factors that influence the population
growth. Biotic potential is the rate at which life
forms reproduce when they have perfect
conditions that would advance effective
generation. It is likewise characterized as
capacity of a populace of a species to propagate
D under perfect conditions, for example, adequate

food and water supply, no diseases, suitable
habitat and no predators.
What Biotic Potential and Environmental Resistance
is it? The biotic potential among creatures’
changes from species to species.
The following factors determine biotic
potential:
1. numbers of offspring per reproduction
2. chances of survival age of reproduction
3. age at which propagation starts
D 4. how frequently every individual
replicate
What
is it? Environmental resistance refers to the factors
that can limit the growth of a populace.
It includes predators, competitors, disease, lack
of food and water and unsuitable habitat.
The biotic potential and environmental resistance
influence the carrying capacity which is defined
as the maximum number of individuals that an
ecosystem can support.
Biotic and abiotic factors that prevent the
D persistent development of a population like food,

water and space are called limiting factors.
