3. Population  Same Species, One environment

4. Community  All living species in one environment

5. Ecosystem  All species and the environment

6. Biosphere  The Earth

7. Needs  Constant Energy  Cycling of Materials  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_RBHfjZsUQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_RBHfjZsUQ

8. Primary Energy Source  SUN  Used by:  Autotrophs for Photosynthesis

9. Abiotic  Non-living  Examples: rock, soil, temperature  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woSO0D94VGA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woSO0D94VGA

10. Biotic  Living  Examples: plants, animals

12. Sad Effects of Pollution   http://wivb.com/2015/04/24/marilla- passes-law-restricting-biosludge/ http://wivb.com/2015/04/24/marilla- passes-law-restricting-biosludge/

13. Autotroph Makes its own food Energy: Sunlight Substances: CO2 and Water Process: Photosynthesis Other Name: Producer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdgkuT12e14

14. Heterotroph Obtains its own food Energy: Other animals and plants Process: Eating Other Name: Consumer

15. Types of Heterotrophs  Herbivore: Eat PLANTS ONLY  Example: Grasshopper

16. Types of Heterotrophs  Carnivore: Eat MEAT ONLY  Example: Lion

17. Types of Heterotrophs  Omnivore: Eat PLANTS AND ANIMALS  Example: Humans

18. Types of Heterotrophs  Saprophyte: Eats REMAINS of organisms  Example: Bacteria / Fungus

20. Relationships  Symbiotic: Close relationship  Neither Benefits

21. Relationships  Parasitism: One benefits the other is harmed. Parasite – benefits, Host - harmed  Example: Flea and Tick

22. Relationships  Mutualism: Both organisms benefit  Example: Algae and Lichen

23. Relationships  Commensalism: One benefits the other is not harmed.

26. Food Chains  Producer > Primary Consumer > Secondary Consumer  Autotroph > Heterotroph > Heterotroph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWh-XKhh8xo

27. Energy Pyramid  Energy  Biomass http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd1M9xD482s

29. Carrying Capacity  Maximum number that can live in an environment.

30. Competition  Struggle for the same resource  Habitat: Environment  Niche: Role

31. Ecological Succession  Replacement of one environment with another over time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWwe0udewD8
