1.) What is Ecology? Ecology is the scientific study of
interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment, or surroundings
Word was coined in 1866 by a German biologist Ernst Haeckel
Based on the word economy
Living world is like a household with an economy – every organism plays a role

Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive!
Ex.) light, soil, temperature, pH, water
How do they influence living things?
Biotic Factors: LIVING organisms
Ex.) Humans, plants, dogs, etc.
How do they interact and influence one another?

all life exists
This includes land, water, and air (or the atmosphere)
Extends from about 8 km above Earth’s surface to as far as 11 km below the surface of the ocean

2.) Energy Flow Every organism needs energy to power its life
processes
What do you need energy for on a daily basis?
THINK!
![Page 16: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Main Source of Energy The SUN!
Sunlight is the main source of energy for life on Earth
Of all the sun’s energy that reaches Earth’s surface, only 1% is used by living things
![Page 17: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Exceptions! Some organisms don’t use the sun for energy
Instead they obtain energy from inorganic chemical compounds
Ex.) Mineral water that flows underground or boils out of hot springs and undersea vents is loaded with chemical energy
![Page 18: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Autotrophs Organisms that use energy from the environment to
fuel the assembly of simple inorganic compounds to complex organic molecules
Capture energy from the sun or chemicals and use that energy to produce food
Ex.) plants, some algae, and certain bacteria
![Page 19: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Producers Organisms that make their own food
Also known as autotrophs!
![Page 20: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Photosynthesis The process in which autotrophs/producers harness
energy from the sun
Light is used to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
![Page 21: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Equation
Gives us oxygen so that we can breathe!
![Page 22: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Chemosynthesis The process by which organisms use chemical energy
to produce carbohydrates
Ex.) Bacteria that in live:
Volcanic vents in the deep ocean
Hot springs in Yellowstone Park
Tidal marshes along the coast
![Page 23: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Consumers Organisms that cannot produce their own energy –
cannot harvest energy from the sun
Must rely on other organisms for their energy and food supply
Also referred to as heterotrophs
![Page 24: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There are many different types of heterotrophs: 1. Herbivores
2. Carnivores
3. Omnivores
4. Detritivores
5. Decomposers

3.) Feeding Relationships Energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction,
from the sun or inorganic compounds to autotrophs (producers) and then to various heterotrophs (consumers)

Food Chain A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by
eating and being eaten
Always starts with a producer (autotroph)
![Page 32: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Food Web Links all the food chains in an ecosystem together
Consists of many food chains and can be very complex
![Page 33: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Trophic Level Each step in a food chain or food web
Producers make up the first level
Consumers make up the second, third, or higher levels
Each consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy
![Page 34: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Ecological Pyramid A diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy
or matter contained within each trophic level in a food chain or food web
Initial energy source is the sun (autotroph is 1st level)
Three different types:
Energy pyramid
Biomass pyramid
Pyramids of numbers
![Page 36: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Energy Pyramid Shows the relative amount of energy available at each
trophic level
Only about 10% of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level
Rest of energy is lost as heat
Decreases at each level by 90%
![Page 37: Living Environment - mskneller.weebly.commskneller.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/1/2/59128895/ecology.pdf · Factors in Ecology Abiotic Factors: NON-LIVING, were never alive! Ex.) light,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041219/5e08b84bc7a3f94b8626aad2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Biomass Pyramid Represents the amount of living organic matter at each
trophic level
Typically, the greatest biomass is at the base of the pyramid
Biomass: the total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level

Pyramid of Numbers Shows the relative number of individual organisms at
each trophic level
Based on population size at each trophic level.
Populations decrease at each successive trophic level but inversion possible.

Symbiosis Interactions between two different organisms living in
close physical association
AKA living together and interacting

Types of Symbiotic Relationships 1. Mutualism (+/+): Both organisms benefit.
2. Commensalism (+/0): One organism benefits while the other is not affected.
3. Parasitism: (+/-): One organism benefits while the other is harmed.
