EFFECTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE LIFE CYCLE OF

ORGANISMS
I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Our environment plays an important role to all living
organisms. It is where organisms get their food, water, shelter,
and other needed materials for them to carry out their life
processes. It is impossible for the organisms to live without an
environment.
Hence, when the environment changes, some plants and

animals are affected in terms of their survival and reproduction.
Others die or move to new locations. All organisms cause
changes in the environment where they live. Some of these
changes are harmful to the organism or other organisms,
whereas others are beneficial.

A habitat is a place where an organism makes its home. Some
examples of habitats are the forest, farm, wetlands, ocean,
freshwater, and desert. A habitat meets all the environmental
conditions an organism needs to survive.
The environmental factors affecting the life cycle of organisms
are as follows: food, water, shelter and space. Each factor
affects in the life cycle of the organisms.
Food is an environmental factor needed by all organisms. They
use it to get energy and perform life processes. Food is also
needed for organisms’ growth and development of the body.
Living organisms need water to survive. Other organisms
require water to break down food molecules or generate energy
during the respiration process. Water also helps many organisms
regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out
of the body.
An organism’s shelter protects it from other animals and
extreme weather. Shelter also provides space for eating, sleeping,
hunting, and raising a family. Shelters come in many forms. A
single tree, for example, can provide sheltered habitats for many
different organisms.
Organisms need a living space or enough area for them to
obtain resources like food, water, and oxygen. It is also an area
where they can express their physical and social behaviors.
C. Practice

following environments on the life cycle of organisms. Write your
