II. Energy Flow in a CommunityA. Producers (autotrophs) – Plants,
some algae. Photosynthesis is the main source of energy for life on earth
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
![Page 11: 1 ECOLOGY – Chap 3. 2 I.General Info A.Ecology is the study of the interactions of living (biotic) organisms with their non-living (abiotic) environment](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042717/56649d8d5503460f94a74b73/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

II. Energy Flow in a Community
B. Consumers (heterotrophs)1. Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores,
scavengers, and detritivores (feed on plant and animal remains, e.g. mites, earthworms, crabs)
2. Decomposers – break down dead organisms.

C. Energy Transfer1. As organisms eat and in turn
are eaten, they transfer energy.2. This flow of energy travels in
one direction and is illustrated by a food chain or web.
3. Food Chaina. Almost always begins with a
plant or algae Why?

5. Food Pyramida. Each organism in the food chain/web
is placed in a different level called trophic levels.
![Page 16: 1 ECOLOGY – Chap 3. 2 I.General Info A.Ecology is the study of the interactions of living (biotic) organisms with their non-living (abiotic) environment](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042717/56649d8d5503460f94a74b73/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

5. Food Pyramid (cont)b. Only 10% of energy is transferred to
organisms at next trophic level. Why?c. Total amount of living tissue in a given
trophic level is called the biomass.
5,000 grams of grain

C. The Water Cycle Process1. Water moves between the
ocean, atmosphere, and land.
![Page 22: 1 ECOLOGY – Chap 3. 2 I.General Info A.Ecology is the study of the interactions of living (biotic) organisms with their non-living (abiotic) environment](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042717/56649d8d5503460f94a74b73/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

D. Human Impacts on the Water Cycle.
1. Eutrophicationa. Fertilizers (N and P) run off
into freshwater ecosystems b.Explosive algal growthc. Ecosystem is drained of
nutrients and dissolved oxygen (DO)
What effect does this have on a lake?

III. Cycles of MatterE. The Carbon Cycle
1. Carbon is a key component of tissues in living organisms. Carbon is stored in the atmosphere (CO2 gas), oceans (dissolved CO2), organisms on land, & underground as coal/ petroleum).
![Page 33: 1 ECOLOGY – Chap 3. 2 I.General Info A.Ecology is the study of the interactions of living (biotic) organisms with their non-living (abiotic) environment](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042717/56649d8d5503460f94a74b73/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

2. There are 4 main processes that move carbon through its cycle:a. Biological processes -
(photosynthesis, respiration, & decomposition) take up & release carbon & oxygen. Plants take in the CO2, & convert it to carbohydrates which are passed through the food web to consumers.
![Page 35: 1 ECOLOGY – Chap 3. 2 I.General Info A.Ecology is the study of the interactions of living (biotic) organisms with their non-living (abiotic) environment](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042717/56649d8d5503460f94a74b73/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
b. Geochemical processes – (erosion & volcanic activity) release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere & oceans.
![Page 36: 1 ECOLOGY – Chap 3. 2 I.General Info A.Ecology is the study of the interactions of living (biotic) organisms with their non-living (abiotic) environment](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042717/56649d8d5503460f94a74b73/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
c. Storage – carbon is stored underground as coal, oil, & natural gas. Dead organisms are buried & eventually converted through heat & pressure to coal & oil (fossil fuels).
![Page 37: 1 ECOLOGY – Chap 3. 2 I.General Info A.Ecology is the study of the interactions of living (biotic) organisms with their non-living (abiotic) environment](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042717/56649d8d5503460f94a74b73/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
d. Carbon release – human activities such as clear cutting forests, mining, burning forests, & burning gas & oil release CO2 into the atmosphere.

3. Global Warming “Greenhouse Effect” (cont)b. CO2 and other gases warm the surface
of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere (draw)
sunlight Some heat escapes into space
Greenhouse gases trap some heat
atmosphere
What kind of problems can this cause?

F. The Nitrogen Cycle1. All organisms require nitrogen to
make proteins.a. Only certain types of bacteria can
use nitrogen gas directly.b. Nitrogen fixation – Some bacteria
in the soil and on the roots of plants called legumes (black beans, kidney beans, lima beans) convert nitrogen gas into ammonia (NH3).

2. Other bacteria in the soil convert ammonia (NH3) into nitrates (NO3-) and nitrites (NO2-) which are used by producers to make proteins.
3. Consumers then eat the producers and reuse the nitrogen to make their own proteins.
