325 - How do changes in the environment affect living organisms?
Changes in the environment can affect living organisms in many ways.
- Food Availability: If there's no food, organisms might starve.
- Water Availability: If there's no water, organisms can die of thirst.
- Temperature: Extreme temperatures can be too hot or too cold for organisms to live.
- Air Quality: Bad air quality can make it hard for organisms to breathe.
- Habitat Loss: If their home is destroyed, organisms have nowhere to live.
For example, if a polar bear's icy home melts due to climate change, it might struggle to find food and a place to live.
