8. 1. Ecology- the study of living and non-living parts of the environment, how they interact, and how they affect one another

9. 7. Trophic Level- where an organism is located within a food chain

10. 10. Succession- process by which one community replaces another community because of changing biotic and/or abiotic factors

11. 17. Symbiosis- close association between two or more species that live together (3 different types)

12. 22. Density- Population Density – number of organisms living in a specific area Ex: 20 squirrels/ block

13. 23. Carrying Capacity- largest number of individuals in a species that an environment can support long-term

14. Ticket To LeaveEcology is the study of interactions between __________.The animal groups in an area.Living and nonliving things in an area.The nonliving things in an area.The plants and animals in an area.2. The phrase carrying capacity refers to ______.Storing extra food in the winterThe number of organisms a habitat can supportTransporting food to organisms in an areaThe maximum possible weight of an individual organism

20. EquilibriumEquilibrium- all things are equal/balancedHomeostasis- an environment that is relatively stable and consistentEcosystems want to be in homeostasisAfter a minor disturbance they will usually return to homeostasisEx:Major disturbances sometimes cause too much harm for that too happenEx:

21. Food Chains and Food WebsTrophic Level – each step in a food chain or food web.Food Chain – simple model that shows how energy flows through an ecosystem.http://www.brainpop.com/science/ecologyandbehavior/foodchains/

22. Food WebsFood Web – model representing the many interconnected food chains and pathways in which energy flows through a group of organisms.Larger food webs are more stableIf one species or population gets removed there is a great chance of there being another species to fill the niche

23. Trophic Levels

24. Roles of OrganismsProducers – take energy from sunlight or chemical source and convert into food source.Autotrophs – make their own food.Consumers/Heterotrophs – need to eat other organisms as an energy source.Herbivore – eats plants.Carnivore- eats flesh/meat.Omnivore- eats all things..plants and animals.Detrivore- eats organisms that are dead.Decomposer- breaks down dead/decaying organisms into simple compounds/elements for recycling. (CHNOPS)

25. Food Chain

34. Thursday - END

35. Friday- Start

36. Biotic vs Abiotic

37. Objective: I will be able to describe how energy flows through a food chain and matter gets cycled.EQ: What is the difference between energy flowing and matter cycling through an ecosystem?

38.

39.

40. Energy FlowsFlows through the food chainUltimate source of energy is the SUNEvery food chain must start with a producer who can convert the Sun’s energy into chemical energyWith every link in the food chain only 10% of the energy gets passed onEnergy also gets lost (converted) as heat (it gets used up)

41. The producers always have the largest populationThe very top consumer has a limited/smaller populationSince only 10% of the energy gets past on, top consumers must eat a lot more food to get their energy, so they have to have smaller populations

43. Ecological Pyramidshttp://www.brainpop.com/science/energy/energypyramid/

44. Ecological Pyramids

45. Matter CyclesMatter = atoms and moleculesCannot be created or destroyedCycles through a food chain then gets decomposed back into the ground (and used by plants to restart the cycle)Ex: water cycle, carbon cycle

52. Population DynamicsPredation- a predator hunts/kills its prey for food/energyPredator – the one hunting/benefitingPrey- the one that diesCompetition-two or more organisms have similar niches which cause them to compete for resources (food, shelter) and lower their fitness Both are harmed

53. Symbiotic Relationships-close relationships between two or more species that live together.Mutualism – two or more organisms rely on each other to liveBoth BenefitCommensalism – one organism relies on another to liveOne benefits, One is unaffectedParasitism - a parasite uses a host for energy, shelter, and nutritionOne benefits, one is harmed

65. Objective – I will be able to describe factors that effect population growth/size.EQ – What factors effect population growth?Title – Population Dynamics

66. Levels of Organization

67. Biosphere – “Ball of Life”Thin layer around Earth that supports life.Made up of atmosphere, land and waterDiversity of the environment and organisms controlled by two groups of “factors” - living (biotic) - nonliving (abiotic)

70. Answers to Level of OrganizationIndividualPopulationCommunityEcosystemBiomeBiosphere

71. Population CharacteristicsPopulation Density – number of individual organisms in a given area at a given time.Spatial Distribution – the pattern of spacing of a population with in an area.

72. Population SizeWhat characteristics effect the growth rate?Natality – Birth RateMortality – Death RateEmigration – individuals moving awayImmigration – individuals moving in

73. Carrying Capacity Maximum number of individuals in a species that an environment can support for the long term.Limited by resources (energy, water, oxygen, and nutrients.)

74. Population Growth Rates

75. Population Limiting FactorsAbiotic or Biotic factors that keep a population from continuing to increase indefinitely.Density-Independent Factors – any factor in the environment that does not depend on the numbers of individuals in a population per unit area.Density Dependent Factors – any factor in the environment that depends on the numbers of individuals in a population per unit area.

92. Ecological Succession VideoHere are some videos that can be used for succession.  The first one is of Mt. St. Helen erupting. 6 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H_HZVY1tT4 A good video  explaining and comparing succession. But its with pictures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V49IovRSJDs 6 min A short video of a slide show showing succession 230https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxuttSOtqNE A short video on mt st helen with a before and after the blast 230 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RsMyVavT2Q a video on secondary succession. The forest fire at yellow stone park. 4 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ0zqo1opv8​ 

93. Ecological SuccessionThe change in an ecosystem that happens when one community replaces another as a result of changing abiotic and biotic factors.Two Types of Succession

94. a. Primary Succession – the establishment of a community in an area of exposed rock that does not have any topsoilNew habitat in that area, for the first time

95. b. Secondary Succession– the orderly and predictable change that takes place after a community of organisms have been removed but the soil has remained intact. FasterReduces populationStarted by an event (flood, fire)

96.

97.

98. Pioneer Community- first group of plants and animals to start living in the areaClimax Community- final and most stable group of plants and animals to live in the area

99. Ecological Succession

100. Ecological Succession

101. Primary vs. Secondary

102. How does Climate change effect ecosystems? Ex: Rising average temperatures organisms are immigrating to new ecosystem where the temperature is what they are used to

103. How do Seasonal changes effect ecosystems?Changes in dietHibernationEstivation – hibernation in the desertChanges to fur or colorThese will cause new dynamics in the homeostasis of the ecosystem

104. PracticeOrder from first to last.

105. Match the pictures to the description.Climax Community ___ 4. Few primary consumers ___Weeds begin to appear ___ 5. Most animals present ___Soil good for larger plants ___ 6. Rabbits, mice, & fox might be here ___
