CONDITION AND RESOURCES

CONDITION AND RESOURCES

-          Condition: abiotic environmental factor that varies in space and time and Affect the performance of the organism.

-          Resources: all things consumed used up / by organisms (space, nutrients, water, prey, holes for refuge, etc)

-          I have an example about the effect of condition and resources changed in the organism.
POLAR BEAR

A. Conditions Affecting

1.      Temperature

Temperature greatly affects the metabolism of polar bears, if the temperature gets too hot due to global warming as is presently the case, then the impact is a reduction in polar bear habitat to live and their metabolic disorders in the body of polar bears, such as insomnia and stress. This over time will harm the body karen anafsu polar bears eat will decrease and the long term can lead to death.

2.      Climate

Climate greatly affects the lives of polar bears. Because the climate will affect other environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Additionally polar bear will very easily camouflaged in the surrounding icefield, because the light-reflecting white feathers, so that he can protect themselves from predators. But if the climate is damaged, it will disrupt the life cycle.

3.      Dissolved Oxygen

Oxygen is Utana polar bear needs to metabolize the body through respiration. If this is disrupted by pollution will impact on the polar bears.

B.     Resources

1.      The presence of food

The presence of food very important role in living organisms, if the presence of food is limited, this may be a limiting factor in the survival of polar bears. The existence of abundant food would be good for beruangkutub. If a bit of the polar bear will be a shortage of food.

2.      The existence of predators

If there is a predator, the polar Berung existence would be threatened. And his life is preferred to survive so it can lower reproduction rates and population in the wild.

3.      Competition with other species

Competition with other species can be interpreted dispute of the availability of food to a room to stay. If the presence of many competitors, it will interfere with the survival of the polar bear. If no then bear ticks thrive.

4.      Space

The existence of space for living is also a basic requirement survival awake.

5.      Air
