19. –Living things interact with each other and with the environment –Ecology – the study of these interactions Hawaiian Monk seals eat fish Humans eat fish What if something happened to the fish? Interaction with the environment

20. Interaction with the Environment

21. The sum total of the chemical processes that occur in living organisms, resulting in growth, production of energy, elimination of waste material, etc. Anabolism- build up of complex molecules Catabolism- break down of complex molecules Metabolism

22. Cellular Respiration C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2  6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + energy

23. Photosynthesis 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + light  C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2

24. Growth Organisms require a source of food to provide energy for growth

25. Autotrophs Organisms that make their own food (like plants, some protists, and some bacteria) Plants capture energy from the sun, use water and carbon dioxide to make sugars and starches Photosynthesis Chemosynthesis

26. Heterotrophs Organisms that take in food to meet their energy needs Animals must consume autotrophs (plants), and other heterotrophs to meet their energy needs

27. Homeostasis 1.Maintenance of constant internal conditions in varying environments 2.Adaptation of organisms to specific environments

28. Homeostasis Three big problems 1.Obtaining energy and nutrients 2.Maintaining temperature 3.Obtaining and holding onto water

29. Body Temperature Regulation

30. Temperature Control Ectotherms (Poikilotherms) Generate body heat metabolically, but cannot maintain constant internal body temperatureGenerate body heat metabolically, but cannot maintain constant internal body temperature Body temperature mimics the surrounding environmentBody temperature mimics the surrounding environment

31. Most ectotherms regulate their body temperature by basking moving between shade/sun being active at certain times of day Ectotherms

32. Temperature Control Endotherms (homeothermic) Generate body heat metabolically and body temperature does not match the temperature of the surrounding environmentGenerate body heat metabolically and body temperature does not match the temperature of the surrounding environment These organisms retain metabolic heat and can control metabolism to maintain a constant internal temperatureThese organisms retain metabolic heat and can control metabolism to maintain a constant internal temperature

33. Transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring Instructions from parent to offspring are passed on in the form of genes Heredity

34. DNA Contains information for almost all cell activities

35. Heritable variations Blood type Dwarfism Beak Depth Banding pattern Eye color

36. Evolution Change in the genetic composition of a population through time

37. Mechanisms Contributing to Evolutionary Change Production of heritable variations Natural Selection Chance Production of heritable variations Natural Selection Chance

38. Adaptations The structural, functional, and behavioral features that contribute to the success of a species.
