Where do you live? On a country farm? In a big city? Up in the mountains, or right by the ocean? The place where you live is your habitat — made up of the environment and other organisms (or living things) that surround you.
No matter whether you live in the desert, or at the top of a high-rise building in a big city, you interact with other organisms all the time. You have to, to survive! You breathe oxygen that’s been released into the air by photosynthesising plants. You eat animals, plants and even fungi as nourishment for your body. And once that food is in your body, bacteria that live inside of you break it down so your body can use it!
In this chapter we’re going to learn all about how organisms live in their habitats, how they interact with other organisms around them, and how they adapt to survive in the environment surrounding.
00:01:02,100 -- 00:01:07,950
We humans have adapted clever brains, nimble
hands and the use of tools, which have allowed
00:01:07,950 -- 00:01:14,540
us to survive and flourish in different environments
across the earth, by constructing and changing
00:01:14,540 -- 00:01:17,650
our habitats to suit our needs.
00:01:17,650 -- 00:01:23,270
But in addition to changing the environment,
organisms themselves change over time to fit
00:01:23,270 -- 00:01:29,040
into their habitats, and they develop unique
adaptations to survive there.
00:01:29,040 -- 00:01:33,630
Some organisms work together to survive, like
the bacteria in our guts that break down our
00:01:33,630 -- 00:01:38,070
food… in return for us providing them with
a nice place to live.
00:01:38,070 -- 00:01:43,650
Other organisms are in constant conflict,
and struggle against each other to survive.
00:01:43,650 -- 00:01:48,420
Get ready to learn some amazing stories of
how different organisms live in some of the
00:01:48,420 -- 00:01:54,170
craziest places, and how they interact with
each other in ways that you never imagined.
