Quarter 2 -Module 8

Effects of the Interactions


among Organisms in their
Environment
At the end of this module, you are expected to:

Describe the effects of the interactions among


organisms in their environment.
The egret eats the flies and parasitic
insects on the carabao. What is the effect
of this interaction to the egret?
The egret has food to eat while the
carabao is protected from parasitic
insects. The interaction is beneficial to
both animals.
There are too many cows in the grass
field. Will the grass be enough for all the
animals to eat throughout the year? Why?
The grass is not enough for all the cows since there are
too many of them. They have to compete for space and
for food.
They might look for another place where there is grass to
eat. This interaction has affected the behavior of the
sheep. The grass in the area is also affected. They will
be consumed by the sheep.
A group of locusts ate up all the plants in the
field. How will this affect the plants, the
herbivores or plant eaters and the farmers in
the area?
The leaves are damaged and consumed. They are eaten
up by the locusts. This also affects the food supply not
only for the herbivores but also to humans who are
growing crops.
The herbivores will not have food to eat which may
result to a decrease of their number. It might also force
them to transfer or migrate to another place where there
are plants to eat.
This kind of interaction can cause a change in the
environment. It has a beneficial effect to the locusts but
harmful to the plants, herbivores and humans
There are worms inside the intestine of
humans. Is this interaction harmful to
humans? Why?
Worms are found in the human’s intestine. One cause of having
worms in the intestines is by eating and drinking unsanitary food
and water. The man is harmed while the worms are benefited.
There are tarsiers found in our country.
They live in trees. Are the trees affected in
this interaction?
There are Tarsiers in Baguio. Tarsiers live in trees. In the
interaction between the tree and the tarsier, the tarsier
is benefited for it has a place to live while the tree is not
affected.
Organisms like plants and animals living in a particular place
interact with one another in order to satisfy their needs.
They also interact with the non-living things found in the
environment like water, land, air and sunlight.
Plants and animals need food, shelter, water and space in order
to live. They also need protection and support.
Most of the time, when they interact, they affect one another as
well as the non-living things in their environment.
The effect among the organisms whether plants or animals may
be beneficial or harmful. In some cases, one organism is not
affected by the interaction among them.
When the population of plants or animals compete for
their needs, the stronger organisms win and cause the
losing organisms to find other ways of getting their
needs.
If their needs are not met, they either decrease in
number or die.
Are there any questions?
