| Central Question: What steps do you need to take to ensure you are successful on the coming test? Guiding Thought Question: How do humans fit in as working within an ecosystem as a part of it, and as outsiders who are non-native to it? Today's Learning Objective: Students will prepare for the upcoming end of unit test by playing a review game designed to engage their prior learning and review topics. |  |

We are a predator so we limit the animals

Humans can limit a species population. But usually humans dont stop and usually overhunt till they are endangered.

Humans can work to keep the ecosystem balanced by taking away or putting in different species that would harm or help the ecosystem. As outsiders they can destroy the ecosystem and do whatever they want to it.

Humans fit in as a form of tertiary predator as well as, sometimes, conservatory factors in some less developed.

I feel like it depends, a modern, advanced civilization(basically all of them) don't really contribute to any ecosystems in the way a regular animal would. The Sentinelese are tribe that haven't been contacted by modern humans for more than a minute or 2. They probably contribute to the ecosystem more so than someone in America. The Sentinelese have been maintaining life on island for upwards of 60,000 years, and not completely drained the resources.

When humans are a part of an ecosystem, they help keep everything in balance by keeping populations within certain ranges through hunting, preservation, etc. as outsiders to an ecosystem, humans can damage ecosystems by bringing in invasive species, over hunting, or allowing a population to increase until it reaches carrying capacity. This can be seen in new ecosystems, like in a newly formed island.

Humans are consumers. We introduce invasive species to different ecosystems and technically we are invasive species because we have moved ourselves in our non-native areas.

Humans role in the environment is consumers, because we kill a lot of things and depending on the species could be good or bad, and as outsiders we just destroy environments

Humans work as more of a parasite in reality due to the environment being better off without us. We help sometimes but our world will end because of us

Humans don't really fit into the ecosystem as a working part of it. As outsiders, we kind of abuse the ecosystem for personal gain and don't really contribute anything good.

They maintain the land and that’s all. Humans mainly destroy and disrupt ecosystems so yeahh. The ecosystem we’re non native to is the ocean and marine ecosystem.

We use resources and kill animals, adding to competition and limiting population sizes

I think we don’t really fit in forests and the ocean we ruin the ecosystems

Humans help balance populations when they hunt (consumers), but it is possible for them to over hunt. Humans also plant certain flora which help that species survive but they may also bring those species to places they arent meant to be making them invasive. Because humans have the ability to do a lot they can ruin ecosystems by over hunting, cultivating natural land, destroying land for buildings, and moving species to make them invasive.

We function as population control and we have the power to interfere with ecosystems when they are out of order. We also create a lot of problems though.

Humans fit in an ecosystem by working with it and helping out the animals in an ecosystem, but they can also destroy an ecosystem since they have the power to.

Humans fit in an ecosystem by being a predator and by altering the land.

Humans can help with population control, but can also over power and just completely destroy the ecosystem as well

Humans fit into an ecosystem by regulating the land. They work out outside of it by driving out animals from their natural ecosystems.

i think humans do an equal amount of damage and good in an ecosystem.

humans are predators, we can protect an environment, and we can destroy one

Humans fit into the ecosystem because they help maintain ecosystems. For example, before Europeans colonized America, Native Americans were important in maintaining the grasslands in the Great Plains. They would light fires which would kill off the trees, and help the native grasses grow better.

humans fit in by maintaining and controlling some populations

humans are constantly kicking out things that don't belong in places but we don't belong either

Usually humans are at the top of the food chain within our own ecosystems, however in ones that we aren't accustomed to, we are lower because there is unfamiliar environments and predators.

We grow a lot of food which can feel birds and some small mammals. They also hunt animals which limits their population. We have also domesticated animals like dogs, cats, cows, and so on that rely on us to survive.

Humans can help control the populations in the ecosystem but we can also destroy it but killing too many species.

I think that when we are in the ecosystem we help balance it. We keep the range even by hunting and conserving. Leave a Reply. |
