Brainstorm
Ecology is the study of the relationships between living and non-living things.
Biotic vs Abiotic
Biotic vs Abiotic
Ecology is the study of the relationships between living and non-living things.
What is all that area that contains life called?
Ecology is the study of the relationships between living and non-living things.
What is all that area that contains life called?The Biosphere- Anywhere life exists. Examples = land, water, & air
Biome -similar climate & speciesEx = tundra, temperate forest
Biome /similar climate & species
Where life exists –land, water, & air
Different populations in an area

Populations of species that interact can have a variety of relationships.
Parasitism…
Parasites drain energy from other living organisms
Populations of species that interact can have a variety of relationships.
•parasitism•predator – prey (predator eats prey)

monarch = poisonous
viceroy = nonpoisonous
How did the viceroy evolve to use this typeof camouflage?
monarch = poisonous viceroy = nonpoisonous

Ecology is studied in a variety of ways.
What is the ultimate source of energy for most life on Earth?
Decomposers
bacteria & fungus bacteria & fungus
What is this ?
Food Chains show how energy moves through the ecosystem.
What are the trophic levels in a food chain. and what are some terms that describe them.

Pyramid of NumbersShows the relativenumber of individualorganisms at eachtrophic level.
Biomass PyramidRepresents the amount ofliving organic matter at each trophic level. Typically, thegreatest biomass is at the base of the pyramid.
Energy PyramidShows the relative amount of energy available at each trophic level. Organisms use about 10 percent of this energy for life processes. The rest is lost as heat.

Ecological Pyramids
Go to Section:
What can be shown with pyramids?
Matter is not created or destroyed it iscycled through living and non-living parts of the environment.
List 3 examples of Matter that cycles.
(Hint- think elements.)
Water Cycle
Carbon Cycle
Phosphate Cycle
carbon + water + nitrogen + phosphate =
carbon + water + nitrogen + phosphate =
C HO N P
CHOCHONCHONP
carbon + water + nitrogen + phosphate =
C HO N PCHO - carbohydrates and lipidsCHON - proteinsCHONP – nucleic acidsCHONPS- some of protein’s amino acids
require sulfur
Sulfur Cycle
Some amino acids also require sulfur
Limiting factors can prevent or limit growth.Why was your bean not growing when youfirst got it? (what was the limiting factor)
nitrogen deficiencynormal growth
Why does limiting nitrogen cause so many problems?
Nutrients provide material for growth and living. Anytime there is not enough of a required nutrient growth and life is limited.
The more productive the ecosystem the more standing biomass.
What is the most productive ecosystems?
Pollution can be chemicals, nutrients, conditions, or structures that are harmful.
Its amazing just how large a problem this can be!
Eutrophication is the gradual filling in of bodies of water through the build up of sediment.
How would an algae bloom affect this?
How can eutrophication be sped up by human activities?
If there are lots of plants why would otherorganisms die?
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning Change a Light Bulb
Drive Less and Drive Smart
Buy Energy-Efficient Products
Use Less Hot Water
Use the "Off" Switch Plant a Tree
Get a Report Card from Your Utility Company
Encourage Others to Conserve
Use less harmful substances.
Some things like mercury are bioaccumulative.
It becomes moreconcentrated as you go up the food chain.
How can you reduce this problem?
