Document Summary
If you don"t like it where you are you have two options: What you can bear determines its potential distribution. Physical environment influences an organism"s ecological success in 2 ways: If you don"t eat, you won"t survive. There are resources that must be available. Polar bears are considered marine animals because they get their food from the water. Potential distribution is where you can live based on your physical ability alone. Actual distribution takes into account certain factors. Mutualists (relying on another species for your lifestyle) ** interaction with other species determine your actual distribution. Its easiest for plant because you can link where they live. You strt out fit at the bottom and you get to the top and you"re out of breath. You have less oxygen to fuel your bodily processes. Acclimatization: adjusting to stress through behaviour or physiology. In example: you would have bolivian people, and other people.
