10 What You’ll Learn You will describe ecology and the work of ecologists. You will identify important aspects of an organism’s environment. You will trace the flow of energy and nutrients in the living and nonliving worlds. Chapter Intro-page 34

11 2.1 Section Objectives – page 35
Distinguish between the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment. Compare the different levels of biological organization and living relationships important in ecology. Explain the difference between a niche and a habitat. 2.1 Section Objectives – page 35

12 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Sharing the World What affects the environment also affects you. Understanding what affects the environment is important because it is where you live. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

13 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Studying nature The study of plants and animals, including where they grow and live, what they eat, or what eats them, is called natural history. These data reflect the status or health of the world in which you live. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

14 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
What is ecology? The branch of biology that developed from natural history is called ecology. Ecology is the study of interactions that take place between organisms and their environment. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

15 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Ecological research Scientific research includes using descriptive and quantitative methods. Most ecologists use both descriptive and quantitative research. They obtain descriptive information by observing organisms. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

16 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Ecological research They obtain quantitative data by making measurements and carrying out controlled experiments in the field and in the laboratory. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

17 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
The Biosphere The biosphere is the portion of Earth that supports living things. It extends from high in the atmosphere to the bottom of the oceans. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

18 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
The Biosphere Although it is thin, the biosphere supports a diverse group of organisms in a wide range of climates. Living things are affected by both the physical or nonliving environment and by other living things. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

19 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
The nonliving environment: Abiotic factors The nonliving parts of an organism’s environment are the abiotic factors. Examples of abiotic factors include air currents, temperature, moisture, light, and soil. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

20 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
The nonliving environment: Abiotic factors Ecology includes the study of features of the environment that are not living because these features are part of an organism’s life. Abiotic factors have obvious effects on living things and often determine which species survive in a particular environment. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

21 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
The nonliving environment: Abiotic factors This graph shows how the plant’s glucose (food) production is affected by temperature. Food Production in Salt Bush 15 10 Food production (mg of glucose/hr) 5 10 20 30 40 50 Temperature (°C) Section 2.1 Summary – pages

22 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
The living environment: Biotic factors A key consideration of ecology is that living organisms affect other living organisms. All the living organisms that inhabit an environment are called biotic factors. All organisms depend on others directly or indirectly for food, shelter, reproduction or protection. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

23 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Levels of Organization Ecologists study individual organisms, interactions among organisms of the same species, interactions among organisms of different species, as well as the effects of abiotic factors on interacting species. Ecologists have organized the living world into levels—the organism by itself, populations, communities, and ecosystems. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

24 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Organism An individual living thing that is made of cells, uses energy, reproduces, responds, grows, and develops. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

25 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Interactions within populations A population is a group of organisms, all of the same species, which interbreed and live in the same area at the same time. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

26 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Interactions within populations Members of the same population may compete with each other for food, water, mates, or other resources. Competition can occur whether resources are in short supply or not. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

27 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Interactions within communities Just as a population is made up of individuals, several different populations make up a biological community. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

28 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Interactions within communities A biological community is made up of interacting populations in a certain area at a certain time. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

29 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Interactions within communities A change in one population in a community may cause changes in the other populations. Some of these changes can be minor, such as when a small increase in the number of individuals of one population causes a small decrease in the size of another population. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

30 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Interactions within communities Other changes might be more extreme, as when the size of one population grows so large it begins affecting the food supply for another species in the community. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

31 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Ecosystem Populations of plants and animals that interact with each other in a given area and with the abiotic components of that area. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

32 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Biotic and abiotic factors form ecosystems An ecosystem is made up of interacting populations in a biological community and the community’s abiotic factors. There are two major kinds of ecosystems—terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

33 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Biotic and abiotic factors form ecosystems Table 2.1 Examples of Ecosystems Terrestial ecosystems are those located on land.

Biotic and abiotic factors form ecosystems Freshwater ecosystems include ponds, lakes, and streams. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

36 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Biotic and abiotic factors form ecosystems Saltwater ecosystems, also called marine ecosystems, make up approximately 70 percent of Earth’s surface. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

37 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Organisms in Ecosystems A habitat is the place where an organism lives out its life. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

38 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Organisms in Ecosystems Habitats can change, and even disappear. Habitats can change due to both natural and human causes. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

39 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Niche Although several species may share a habitat, the food, shelter, and other essential resources of that habitat are often used in different ways. A niche is the role or position a species has in its environment—how it meets its specific needs for food and shelter, how and where it survives, and where it reproduces in its environment. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

40 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Niche A species’ niche, therefore, includes all its interactions with the biotic and abiotic parts of its habitat. It is thought that two species can’t exist for long in the same community if their niches are the same. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

41 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Symbiosis The relationship in which there is a close and permanent association between organisms of different species is called symbiosis. Simbiosis means living together. Three kinds of symbiosis are recognized: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

42 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Mutualism A symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit is called mutualism. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

43 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Commensalism Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits and the other species is neither harmed nor benefited. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

44 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Parasitism Some interactions are harmful to one species, yet beneficial to another. A symbiotic relationship in which a member of one species derives benefit at the expense of another species (the host) is called parasitism. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

45 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Parasitism Parasites have evolved in such a way that they harm, but usually do not kill the host species. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

46 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Parasitism A predator is a type of consumer. Predators seek out and eat other organisms. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

47 Section 2.1 Summary – pages 35 - 45
Parasitism Predation is found in all ecosystems and includes organisms that eat plants and animals. The animals that predators eat are called prey. Section 2.1 Summary – pages

56 Section 2 Objectives – page 46
Compare how organisms satisfy their nutritional needs. Trace the path of energy and matter in an ecosystem. Analyze how matter is cycled in the abiotic and biotic parts of the biosphere. Section 2 Objectives – page 46

57 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
How Organisms Obtain Energy One of the most important characteristics of a species’ niche is how it obtains energy. Ecologists trace the flow of energy through communities to discover nutritional relationships between organisms. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

58 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The producers: Autotrophs The ultimate source of the energy for life is the sun. Plants use the sun’s energy to manufacture food in a process called photosynthesis. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

59 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The producers: Autotrophs An organism that uses light energy or energy stored in chemical compounds to make energy-rich compounds is a producer, or autotroph. Other organisms in the biosphere depend on autotrophs for nutrients and energy. These dependent organisms are called consumers. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

60 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The consumers: Heterotrophs An organism that cannot make its own food and feeds on other organisms is called a heterotroph. Heterotrophs include organisms that feed only on autotrophs, organisms that feed only on other heterotrophs, and organisms that feed on both autotrophs and heterotrophs. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

61 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The consumers: Heterotrophs Heterotrophs display a variety of feeding relationships. A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is an herbivore. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

62 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The consumers: Heterotrophs Some heterotrophs eat other heterotrophs. Animals such as lions that kill and eat only other animals are carnivores. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

63 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The consumers: Heterotrophs Scavengers eat animals that have already died. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

64 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The consumers: Heterotrophs Some organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, are decomposers. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

65 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The consumers: Heterotrophs Decomposers break down the complex compounds of dead and decaying plants and animals into simpler molecules that can be more easily absorbed. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

66 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Flow of Matter and Energy in Ecosystems Autotrophs Third-order heterotrophs Second-order heterotrophs First-order heterotrophs Decomposers Section 2.2 Summary – pages

67 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Food chains: Pathways for matter and energy A food chain is a simple model that scientists use to show how matter and energy move through an ecosystem. In a food chain, nutrients and energy move from autotrophs to heterotrophs and, eventually, to decomposers. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

68 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Food chains: Pathways for matter and energy A food chain is drawn using arrows to indicate the direction in which energy is transferred from one organism to the next. berries → mice → black bear Section 2.2 Summary – pages

69 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Food chains: Pathways for matter and energy Most food chains consist of two, three, or four transfers. The amount of energy remaining in the final transfer is only a portion of what was available at the first transfer. A portion of the energy is given off as heat at each transfer. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

70 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Trophic levels represent links in the chain Each organism in a food chain represents a feeding step, or trophic level, in the passage of energy and materials. A first order heterotroph is an organism that feeds on plants, such as a grasshopper. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

71 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Trophic levels represent links in the chain A second order heterotroph is an organism that feeds on a first order heterotroph. A food chain represents only one possible route for the transfer of matter and energy through an ecosystem. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

72 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Food webs Ecologists interested in energy flow in an ecosystem may set up experiments with as many organisms in the community as they can. The model they create, called a food web, shows all the possible feeding relationships at each trophic level in a community. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

73 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57

74 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Energy and trophic levels: Ecological pyramids An ecological pyramid can show how energy flows through an ecosystem. The base of the ecological pyramid represents the autotrophs, or first trophic level. Higher trophic levels are layered on top of one another. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

75 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Energy and trophic levels: Ecological pyramids Pyramid of Energy Heat 0.1% Consumers The pyramid of energy illustrates that the amount of available energy decreases at each succeeding trophic level. Heat 1% Consumers 10% Consumers Heat 100% Producers Heat Parasites, scavengers, and decomposers feed at each level. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

76 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Energy and trophic levels: Ecological pyramids The total energy transfer from one trophic level to the next is only about ten percent because organisms fail to capture and eat all the food energy available at the trophic level below them. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

77 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Energy and trophic levels: Ecological pyramids Some of the energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat, but the total amount of energy remains the same. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

78 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Energy and trophic levels: Ecological pyramids Pyramid of Numbers A pyramid of numbers shows that population sizes decrease at each higher trophic level. Fox (1) Birds (25) Grasshoppers (250) Grasses (3000) Section 2.2 Summary – pages

A pyramid of biomass represents the total weight of living material available at each trophic level. Pyramid of Biomass 1 kilogram of human tissue 10 kilograms of beef 100 kilograms of grain Section 2.2 Summary – pages

80 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
Cycles in Nature Matter, in the form of nutrients, moves through, or is part of, all organisms at each trophic level. But matter is cycled and is not replenished like the energy from sunlight. There is a finite amount of matter. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

81 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57

82 Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57
The carbon cycle From proteins to sugars, carbon is the building block of the molecules of life. Linked carbon atoms form the frame for molecules produced by plants and other living things. Organisms use these carbon molecules for growth and energy. Section 2.2 Summary – pages

94 The answer is D. A food web is a more realistic model than a food chain, because most organisms depend on more than one other species for food. Section 2 Check

95 Organisms and Their Environment
Natural history, the observation of how organisms live out their lives in nature, led to the development of the science of ecology—the study of the interactions of organisms with one another and with their environments. Chapter Summary – 2.1

96 Organisms and Their Environment
Ecologists classify and study the biological levels of organization from the individual to ecosystem. Ecologists study the abiotic and biotic factors that are a part of an organism’s habitat. They investigate the strategies an organism is adapted with to exist in its niche. Chapter Summary – 2.1

97 Nutrition and Energy Flow
Autotrophs, such as plants, make nutrients that can be used by the plants and by heterotrophs. Heterotrophs include herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers. Food chains are simple models that show how energy and materials move from autotrophs to heterotrophs and eventually to decomposers. Chapter Summary – 2.2

98 Nutrition and Energy Flow
Food webs represent many interconnected food chains and illustrate pathways in which energy and materials are transferred within an ecosystem. Energy is transferred through food webs. The materials of life, such as carbon and nitrogen, are used and reused as they cycle through the ecosystem. Chapter Summary – 2.2

99 Question 1 Which of the following is a biological community?
A. the organisms living in your backyard today B. the tadpoles living in a pond C. the abiotic factors in the environment D. the factors interacting in an aquatic ecosystem Chapter Assessment

100 The answer is A. A biological community consists of all the populations of different species that live in the same place at the same time and does not include abiotic factors. Changes in one of these populations may cause changes in the other populations of the community. Chapter Assessment

101 Question 2 A(n) __________ is the place where an organism lives out its life. A. environment B. niche C. habitat D. community Chapter Assessment

102 The answer is C. A species' habitat is the place where it lives and its niche is the role it plays in its environment, including interactions with abiotic factors. Chapter Assessment

103 Question 3 Compare commensalism and parasitism. Fungal hypha
Haustorium Host cell Chapter Assessment

104 Both commensalism and parasitism are examples of symbiosis, in which organisms of different species live in close association, benefiting one species. In parasitism, one species derives benefit at the expense of the other, but in a commensal relationship the second species is not harmed. Chapter Assessment

105 Question 4 Which of the following models best illustrates heat released at each trophic level of an ecosystem? A. food chain B. food web C. pyramid of energy D. pyramid of biomass Chapter Assessment

106 The answer is C. The pyramid of energy shows energy available
The answer is C. The pyramid of energy shows energy available. Organisms at each trophic level use some energy in food for metabolism and some is given off as heat. The total amount of energy remains the same in accordance with the law of conservation of energy. Pyramid of Energy Heat 0.1% Consumers Heat 1% Consumers 10% Consumers Heat 100% Producers Heat Parasites, scavengers, and decomposers feed at each level. Chapter Assessment

107 Question 5 Compare the amount of energy available in the biosphere to the amount of matter here. Chapter Assessment

108 Both energy and matter are conserved: they may be transformed, but are not destroyed. However, sunlight is the primary source of all the energy utilized and transferred in the biosphere. It is always being replenished by the sun. In contrast, there is a finite amount of matter in the biosphere, which is cycled and not replenished. Chapter Assessment

109 Question 6 Which of the following does not cycle into the atmosphere?
A. phosphorus B. nitrogen C. carbon D. water Chapter Assessment

110 The answer is A. Phosphorus moves between the living and nonliving parts of the environment, but does not enter the atmosphere as a gas. Chapter Assessment

111 Short-term Cycle Long-term Cycle
Phosphate enters streams and oceans from weathering rocks, runoff, and leaching, from soil. Rain washes phosphates from the land. Phosphate weathers from rock. Geologic process of uplifting occurs over millions of years. Decaying materials containing phosphates settle out into streams and oceans. Phosphates become available for plants again. Plant wastes New rock forms from sedimentation. Phosphate becomes locked in rocks. Animal wastes Phosphates released into soil,. Phosphates leach into streams from soil. Soil decomposers act on plant and animal wastes. Short-term Cycle Long-term Cycle Chapter Assessment

112 Question 7 Which type of organism consumes both plant and animal products? A. herbivore B. carnivore C. predator D. omnivore Chapter Assessment

113 The answer is D. Humans are omnivores and eat a variety of foods that include both plant and animal materials. The figure shows recommended food servings for good health. Chapter Assessment

114 Question 8 Which of the following relationships is an example of mutualism? A. Ants feeding on nectar of acacia trees while protecting the trees from other animals. B. orchids aided by growing on large plants neither harming nor benefiting the larger plants Chapter Assessment

115 Question 8 Which of the following relationships is an example of mutualism? C. ticks obtaining nutrients from a host animal D. lions preying on zebras Chapter Assessment

116 The answer is A. Ants and acacia trees both benefit from living in close association.
Chapter Assessment

117 Question 9 Answer Compare a niche to a population.
A population is a group of organisms of the same species that live in the same place at the same time. A niche is the role a species has in its environment, and includes all its interactions with biotic and abiotic parts of its habitat. Chapter Assessment

118 Question 10 How does water on Earth's surface get back into the atmosphere? Condensation Evaporation Precipitation Transpiration Runoff Evaporation Oceans Groundwater Chapter Assessment
