The environment is characterized by several critical factors that are essential for the survival and well-being of organisms. Water must be available in sufficient quantities as it is vital for life processes.
Plants need light for photosynthesis and
some animals need light to keep them warm
Water
Must be sufficent
Food
Predator
Prey
Other Organisms
Disease-causing organisms
in suitable conditions they can spread and kill entire populations
Plants
Man
Hunts animals
Decomposer
Break down dead matter into simpler substances
Temperature
When too cold, water in the habitat will freeze, thus
organisms will lose their sources of water and will die due to lack of water or will lose too much heat and die
When too high, organisms lose too much water and will thus die due to the heat
