Levels of Organization All living things are placed into 6 kingdoms. They are: Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia What all these kingdoms have in common is they are made up of living _________. cells The__________ is the basic unit of _________. celllife Now we will build up from that basic cell to the level of a multicellular organism. A group of similar cells working together is called ________. tissue CellsTissue Different kinds of tissues working together for a common function is called _________. organ OrganTissue Organs working together for a common function are called _____________________. Organs an organ system Organ system Many organ systems working together can create an _________________. organism OrganismOrgan systems Organism an individual Raccoon- multicellular organism Its basic unit of life is... cell What would I call it if a had a whole lot of raccoons in an area? Population a group of organisms of the same species that live in the same place at the same time. What would I call it if the raccoon lived with lots of animals of another type? Community Community a collection of interacting populations What would I call it if I took into account not just living things, but nonliving things in an area? Ecosystem interactions of living and nonliving things in the community ECOSYSTEM- what does it mean? ECO- SYSTEM- Group of parts working together for a common use. Environment Levels of Organization smallest unit of living things group of similar cells organized to work together group of different kinds of tissues working together group of organs working together one individual living thing all organisms of the same kind living in one area all interacting populations in an ecosystem all living and nonliving things interacting within a certain area cell Levels of Organization in Ecology Organism an individual Population a group of organisms of the same species that live in the same place at the same time. Community a collection of interacting populations Ecosystem interactions of living and nonliving things in the community ECOSYSTEM- all living and nonliving things that interact in an area. We give those things a name. What are the living things? Trees, grass, and other animals BIOTIC FACTORS- living parts in an ecosystem These are __________ factors (hint-living). Biotic Factors All the living organisms What are the non- living things? Fishing pole, boat, house, air, water, sun ABIOTIC FACTORS- non-living parts of an ecosystem Abiotic Factors Nonliving parts of environment Water/Moist ure Temperature Soil Sunlight How organisms obtain energy Autotrophs or Producers can make own food; use energy from the sun (photosynthesis) 6CO H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 + 6H 2 O Heterotrophs or Consumers must eat other organisms; cannot make own food Organism, population, community, ecosystem Recap Ecosystem- Biotic- Abiotic- Habitat- Living and nonliving things that interact Living things in an ecosystem Place an organism lives Nonliving things in an ecosystem Organismpopulationcommunityecosystem
