Energy can enter/leave too Plants, animals, insects, reptiles Scientific explanation for what is occurring. The non-living parts of an organism's habitat. How is the amount of life in an ecosystem effected by the number of hours of daylight it receives. Identify the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE. 1. All the biotic factors (plants, animals, insects, bacteria, etc.) 2. All the abiotic factors (rivers, lakes, streams, air) 3. Area of the planet A system in which no matter is allowed to enter or leave. Energy CAN enter/leave sunlight, temperature, precipitation/water, soil Comes from observations or data collected during an experiment How is the amount of life in an ecosystem effected by the number of hours of daylight it receives. Identify a CONTROLLED VARIABLE. Any living part of the environment with which an organism might interact What is allowed to enter/leave both an open system and closed system Where energy for an ecosystem comes from A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. Explanation of what your evidence from an experiment means. How is the amount of life in an ecosystem effected by the number of hours of daylight it receives. Identify the DEPENDENT VARIABLE.
