ECOLOGY

is the study of how organisms interact with one another. ECOLOGY is the study of how organisms interact with one another.

A POPULATION OF ANIMALS LIVE & EAT. HABITAT WHERE A POPULATION OF ANIMALS LIVE & EAT. ex. lions in the savanah

THE MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES THAT LIVE IN A HABITAT COMMUNITY THE MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES THAT LIVE IN A HABITAT

CONSISTS OF A COMMUNITY AND ALL OTHER ASPECTS IN A HABITAT. WEATHER CONSISTS OF A COMMUNITY AND ALL OTHER ASPECTS IN A HABITAT. WATER SOIL ECOSYSTEM

ex. soil, water, temperature, & sunlight aka "NON-LIVING FACTORS" ABIOTIC FACTORS THE PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF A HABITAT. ex. soil, water, temperature, & sunlight aka "NON-LIVING FACTORS"

THE ORGANISMS IN A HABITAT. BIOTIC FACTORS aka "LIVING FACTORS" THE ORGANISMS IN A HABITAT. ex. Plants and Animals

QUESTIONS HABITAT ECOLOGY COMMUNITIES FALSE TRUE What is the name of a place where a population lives, eats, and sleeps referred to? Is the study of how organisms interact with one another? All the different kinds of species that live in the same habitat are called? (T/F) Abiotic factors deal with all living things. (T/F) Abiotic factors deal with the non-living factors such as the soil, weather, & water. HABITAT ECOLOGY COMMUNITIES FALSE TRUE

A SOMEWHAT REGULAR PROGRESSION OF SPECIES REPLACEMENT. SUCCESSION A SOMEWHAT REGULAR PROGRESSION OF SPECIES REPLACEMENT. examples PRIMARY SECONDARY

OCCURS WHERE LIFE HAS NOT PRIMARY SUCCESSION OCCURS WHERE LIFE HAS NOT EXISTED BEFORE. ex. glaciers receding.

ANOTHER EX. PRIMARY SUCCESSION. DID YOU KNOW? HAWAII NOW GROWS GRASS ON IT. PEOPLE LIVE ON IT. ANOTHER EX. PRIMARY SUCCESSION. VOLCANOS COOLING ROCK LAVA

ABANDONED FIELDS OR FOREST CLEARING. SECONDARY SUCCESSION OCCURS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN PREVIOUS GROWTH. EXAMPLES ABANDONED FIELDS OR FOREST CLEARING.

ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS

WHERE DO PLANTS GET ENERGY FROM? FOOD SUN WHERE DO ANIMALS GET THEIR ENERGY FROM?

WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR VEGETABLES? THE PRODUCE SECTION WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR VEGETABLES?

ARE ORGANISMS THAT FIRST CAPTURE INCLUDE: PLANTS, BACTERIA, AND ALGAE. PRODUCERS ARE ORGANISMS THAT FIRST CAPTURE ENERGY FROM THE SUN INCLUDE: PLANTS, BACTERIA, AND ALGAE. BACTERIA PLANTS ALGAE

ARE WE CONSIDERED PRODUCERS? NO!!! WE ARE NOT!!! ARE WE CONSIDERED PRODUCERS?

OR OTHER ORGANISMS TO OBTAIN THEIR ENERGY. CONSUMERS ARE THOSE ORGANISMS THAT CONSUME PLANTS OR OTHER ORGANISMS TO OBTAIN THEIR ENERGY.

PRIMARY CONSUMERS EXAMPLES: CATIPILLARS RODENTS CATTLE EAT PLANTS

EAT PLANTS AND OR OTHER ORGANISMS. SECONDARY CONSUMERS EAT PLANTS AND OR OTHER ORGANISMS. examples: snake gorrilla tiger mongoose human

TROPHIC LEVEL IS HOW ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH AN ECOSYSTEM.

TROPHIC LEVELS ENERGY 2ND LEVEL PRIMARY CONSUMER 1ST LEVEL 3RD LEVEL SECONDARY CONSUMER PRODUCERS

DESIGN AN ECOSYSTEM 1. DRAW A TROPHIC LEVEL DIAGRAM AND LABEL EACH LEVEL. 2. DEFINE: HERBIVORE,CARNIVORE, AND OMNIVORE. 3. DEFINE ENERGY PYRAMID.

ECOLOGY QUIZ 1. T/F ECOSYSTEM IS THE STUDY OF HOW ORGANISMS INTERACT WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT. 2. WHERE A POPULATION LIVES AND EATS IS REFERRED TO AS A _____________. 3. ________________ CONSISTS OF A COMMUNITY AND ALL OTHER ABIOTIC FACTORS. 4. THE MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES THAT LIVE IN A HABITAT IS CALLED _________________. 5. SOIL, WATER, & TEMPERATURE ARE ALL EXAMPLES OF __________ ____________. 6. ALL LIVING FACTORS ARE CALLED ________ _________. 7. ALL NON-LIVING FACTORS ARE CALLED __________ _________. 8. WHAT IS SUCCESSION? 9. GLACIERS AND VOLCANOES ARE EXAMPLES OF WHICH TYPE OF SUCCESSION? 10. GIVE ONE EXAMPLES OF SECONDARY SUCCESSION. 11. DEFINE PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS AND GIVE TWO EXAMPLES FOR EACH.

Ecology Vocabulary WRITE THE ONES YOU DO NOT HAVE!!!

1.Producer- obtain energy from sun (ex. Plants, algae, bacteria) 2.Consumer- obtain energy from other organisms (plants & animals) 3.Primary consumer- obtain energy by eating plants (zebra) 4.Secondary consumer- obtain energy by eating animals & even sometimes plants. (ex. Bear, lion) 5.Decomposer- decay organisms and recycle their nutrients back into the environment. (ex. Bacteria and fungi) 6.Trophic levels- how energy moves through an ecosystem 7.Autotroph- organisms that use light energy to make organic compounds. (plants, algae, and bacteria) 8.Heterotroph- organisms that get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight. (ex. Humans, lions, fish) 9. Carnivores- eat only meat for energy 10.Omnivores- eat both meat and plant for energy 11.Herbivores- eat only plants for energy 12.Detritivores- organisms that obtain their energy from the wastes left by other organisms & dead bodies of the ecosystem. (ex. worms, fungi, & vultures) 13.Scavengers- obtain energy from dead or dying organisms

FOOD CHAINS IS THE FLOW OF ENERGY THROUGH AN ECOSYTEM

INTERCONNECTED GROUP OF FOOD CHAINS FOOD WEB A COMPLICATED INTERCONNECTED GROUP OF FOOD CHAINS

WHERE TWO OR MORE SPECIES LIVE TOGETHER SYMBIOSIS "A RELATIONSHIP" MEANS: 1. MUTUALISM 2. PARASITISM 3. COMMENSALISM 3 TYPES WHERE TWO OR MORE SPECIES LIVE TOGETHER IN A CLOSE LONG-TERM ASSOCIATION.

IS WHERE BOTH SPECIES BENEFIT MUTUALISM IM HAPPY!!! IM HAPPY!!! SO AM I !!! IS WHERE BOTH SPECIES BENEFIT

AND THE OTHER IS BEING HARMED. IM ACK!!! PARASITIC OOCH!!! THIS BLOOD TASTES GOOD!!! ONE SPECIES BENEFITS AND THE OTHER IS BEING HARMED.

AND THE OTHER IS NOT HARMED OR HELPED COMMENSALISM NOW WE CAN EAT!!! I GUESS I CAN GIVE YOU A LIFT!! ONE SPECIES BENEFITS AND THE OTHER IS NOT HARMED OR HELPED
