An environment is an ecosystem, a city, of different things that maintain the entire stability of the world around them. Different organisms and even non-living things occupy different places in the fabric (and behave) in such a way that the sheet of an ecosystem hold together. An environment is a place that requires all of the different things above to live and stay in order. A shopping mall, i.e., needs good economy, customers, and companies willing to form alliances. A rain forest needs trees for shelter for caterpillars, and caterpillars to eat dead leaves to keep the soil good for the trees. It goes in a circle.
Do you see the mental picture?
2. In what ways do YOU react to changes in your environment? List and describe at least three different ways.
a. When it is over, say, 90 degrees outside, my body starts to perspire, and that evaporates, taking heat with it. (Which, I have noticed, never works OR makes me hotter. Our sweat glands must be in mid-evolution. This is plausible, since we're not the most intelligent species on the block {Dolphins are, and this is no Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference}, and therefore not the top rung of the ladder which is as follows: )
Squid |.-.|, Crow ) :/\ Horse : (:|) Pig :oI Cat/Dog ;^{ Ape (:)| Man :<) Dolphin --'_>
b. If it gets colder, I manually (Not automatically) start to get more active to maintain my body temperature.
c. In fall, when fruit in my garden is at it's most ripe, I react by harvesting it for food for survival.
3. Do all living things change? List changes that you have observed in three living things in your environment recently.
a. My cats shed more when it's hot.
b. Trees lose their leaves in fall.
c. Flowers stop blooming in the winter.
4. Do non-living things change? List changes that you have observed in three non-living things in your environment recently.
a. My computer responded to me pressing the power button.
b. The TV turned on.
c. An electron moved.
