Question

The most interesting information I learned was...

Answer 1

The most interesting information I learned was how changes in abiotic factors can have a significant impact on populations. It was fascinating to see how something as simple as a change in temperature or pH levels can disrupt an entire ecosystem. I also enjoyed learning about how human actions, both positive and negative, can affect populations and ecosystems. Overall, this unit has given me a greater appreciation for the delicate balance of nature and the importance of conservation.
