Camren Allen Concept Check 1.1: 1.) A biosphere has an ecosystem that consists of all living things in an area. An ecosystem consists of communities which hold organisms that live in a specific area. A community consists of populations of all the individual organisms in a specific area. A population consists of living things called organisms. Organisms break down into organs and organ systems which are more complex parts of organisms. Organs and Organ Systems are created by tissues which is

In Ch 4 of Silent Spring‚ Carson brings about the fact that the most essential natural resource in the world‚ water‚ is being contaminated. With every spray and use of the pesticides and human-made chemicals‚ persistent as they are‚ the resulting effects spread throughout ecosystems. Bioaccumulation occurs through the levels of the food chain(biological magnification)‚ microorganisms and fish are exposed to the chemicals that render the water polluted‚ fish are eaten by birds and other aquatic life
