EFFECTS OF POPULATION CHANGE


                     In a habitat, the energy transfer occurs continuously in the food
                     chain. Any changes in the population of living things will affect the
                     whole ecosystem.



                                              Mr Zaki, how does a population
                                              change occur in a food chain?

                              There are many reasons for the changes in
                              the population of living things. For examples,
                              tremendous weather changes and the
                              spread of a pandemic.

                                                         A population is a group of living things
                                                         or species found in a habitat. Population
                                                         change indicates a change in the
                                                         number of species in the habitat.
