Ecosystem function
The collective intraspecific and interspecific interactions of the biota, such as primary and secondary production and mutualistic relationships.
The interactions between organisms and the physical environment, such as nutrient cycling, soil development, water budgeting, and flammability.
There are many environmental factors that arise due to the usage of water in one way or another and for every action that man does, there is a resultant effect on the ecosystem. In this tutorial, some scenarios where human action results in a response from the ecosystem, either physically or chemically, are described. ..
Regulation of Biological Systems tutorials are focused on the modulation of biological systems from cell to population levels. The course starts with the principles of negative feedback control, and how it regulates blood sugar, water, and temperature in humans. It, then, culminates in the population regulation and ecosystem succession. Learn the various regulatory mechanisms that..
Learn about community patterns and the ecological factors influencing these patterns. Revisit some of the ecosystems you've learned about earlier to learn more about the possible impacts of natural and human-induced environmental changes...
Animals adapt to their environment in aspects of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. This tutorial will help you understand how animals adapt to their habitat. For instance, how animals thrive in aquatic habitat and are able to overcome osmosis. It also sheds light on the reasons animals adapt...
