Key terms
- community: community is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain how new predators can change the numbers and distribution of organisms in a community..
- predator: In Biotic factors, predator means predator is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain how new predators can change the numbers and distribution of organisms in a community. This matters in Adaptations, interdependence and competition because it supports the learning objective to explain how new predators can change the numbers and distribution of organisms in a community. Use predator only in this subtopic-relevant sense so the definition stays concise, curriculum-specific, and useful for AQA GCSE Biology revision. Students should use this term accurately when they explain the biology, identify symptoms, or justify an answer in GCSE Biology questions.
