ELABORATE
Compare the population age-sex structure if
the Philippines with those of Japan, India,
Italy China, Spain and the United States.
What are your general impressions? What
are the advantage and disadvantages of a
huge and very small population? What do
you think will happen to the age- sex
structures after the COVID-19 pandemic?
Does the size of the population affect
aspects of the society such as healthcare,
education and economics? Explain your
answer.

GENERALIZATION
What is an
ECOSYSTEM?
The ecosystem is the structural and
functional unit of ecology where the living
organisms interact with each other and the
surrounding environment.

An ecosystem is a chain of interactions

between organisms and their environment.
 types of ecosystem
An ecosystem can be as small as an oasis in a desert, or as big as an ocean,
spanning thousands of miles.

 1 TERRESTRIAL
ECOSYSTEM
A terrestrial ecosystem is a land-based community of organisms and the
interactions of biotic and abiotic components in a given area. They are
as follows:

the environment.
 Tundra
In physical geography, tundra is a type
of biome where the tree growth is
hindered by low temperatures and short
growing seasons
Desert
A desert is a barren area of landscape
where little precipitation occurs and,
consequently, living conditions are
hostile for plant and animal life.
 2 Aquatic
ecosystem
Aquatic ecosystems are ecosystems present in a body of water. These
can be further divided into two types, namely:

Freshwater & Marine

F R E S H WAT E R
ECOSYSTEM
The freshwater ecosystem is an aquatic ecosystem
that includes lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and
wetlands. These have no salt content in contrast
with the marine ecosystem.
mARINE
ECOSYSTEM
The marine ecosystem includes seas and oceans.
These have a more substantial salt content and
greater biodiversity in comparison to the freshwater
ecosystem.
STRUCTURE OF THE
ECOSYSTEM?
The structure of an ecosystem is
characterised by the organisation of both
biotic and abiotic components. This includes
the distribution of energy in our
environment. It also includes the climatic
conditions prevailing in that particular
environment.
