Biomes and ecosystems
are division
Of the Biosphere
By Cheyenne Bohnet
Biomes
Biomes are the
largest divisions of
the biosphere,
The biosphere is
made up of biomes,
in the biomes there
are many
ecosystems, and the
eco systems have
lots of habitats witch
is how the animals
come into place.

ecosystems
habitats
Every environment has (biotic) or living
and (abiotic) or non-living components.
•Biotic
components are the living
organisms in an environment, plants and
animals are an example of biotic.
•Abiotic components are the non-living
organisms in an environment, sunlight and
soil are an example of abiotic.
Climatographs
A climatograph is used to tell 2
main points.
It is used to tell the precipitation
And the average temperature.
The lines are for the temperature
and
The bar is for precipitation.
If the place is near the equator than
the temperature mostly stays the
same but if it is higher to the north
the temperature is higher in the 7th
and 8th months and lower in the 1st
and 12th months. And in the south
they have higher temperatures in
the 1st and 12th months and lower in
the 7th and 8th months.
BOTH PLANTS AND ANIMALS HAVE TO
ADAPT TO THEIR ENVIRONMENTS. THERE
ARE THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
ADAPTATION, FIRST IS THE
PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATION THIS IS A
CHEMICAL EVENT THAT OCCURS IN THE
ANIMALS BODY, FOR EXAMPLE A TIMBER
WOLF HAS A THICK LAYER OF FUR TO KEEP
IT WARM IN THE WINTER.
THE SECOND TYPE OF ADAPTATION
IS THE STRUCTURAL
IS A PHYSICAL FEATURE OF AN
ORGANISM. FOR EXAMPLE A
PORCUPINE HAS SHARP STIFF QUILLS
THAT PROTECTED IT FROM OTHER
ANIMALS.
the last adaptation is the behavioural
adaptation refers to how an organism
does to survive. For example the parents
look after their young, migrates,
hibernates, or burrows to escape from
predators. An example of this is an owl
builds a nest for it’s young and the
burrowing owl well just as it’s name says
makes burrows to hide from predators.
Plants have to
adapt to stay
alive just like
animals for
example a cactus
collects water
and stores it for
long term use.
Habitats
A habitat is a place where plants
and animals live together. There
are many different habitats for
example a forest is a habitat and a
small pond that can be found in the
forest is a different habitat but the
one thing they both have is plants
and animals that live in them.
Photosynthesis
photosynthesis is a chemical
reaction that converts solar energy
into chemical energy used by
plants.
There are three main groups in an
ecosystem.
1.
Species are a group of animals
that have the same type of gens
so they can breed or reproduce
with one another.
2.
Population refers to all species
in and ecosystem.
3.
Community is all populations
of different species that live or
interact with one another in a
specific area or ecosystem.
Biotic
interactions
in ecosystem
COMMENSALISM IS A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP
IN WITCH
ONE SPICES BENEFITS AND THE OTHER IS NEITHER
HELPED OR HARMED . FOR EXAMPLE THE
HUMPBACK WHALE TRANSPORTS BARNACLES
THAT ARE ATTACHED TO IT’S PECTORAL FIN.
MUTUALISM IS A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP IN
WITCH BOTH SPICES BENEFIT FOR EXAMPLE THE
BUMBLE BEE COLLETS POLLEN FROM
SNAPDRAGONS AND OTHER FLOWERS TO MAKE
THEIR FOOD AND AS THEY GO FROM PLANT TO
PLANT THEY ARE SPREADING THE FLOWER’S
POLLEN OR SEEDS.
COMPETITION IS A HARMFUL INTERACTION
BETWEEN TWO ORGANISMS THAT CAN
OCCUR WHEN ORGANISMS FIGHT FOR THE
SAME RESOURCE LIKE FOOD OR SPACE.
NICHES IS A SPECIAL ROLE AN
ORGANISM PLAYS IN AN
ECOSYSTEM.
PREDATION IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
TWO SPICES WHERE ONE BENEFITS
(PREDATOR) AND ONE IS HARMED (PREY)
FOR EXAMPLE A PACK OF WOLVES HUNT
ELK AND DEER, WHILE A COUGAR HUNTS
ELK, DEER, RABBITS, AND OTHER SPICES .
PREY ALSO HAVE THINGS THEY DO TO
KEEP SAFE FROM THE PREDATORS FOR
EXAMPLE A RABBITS FUR CHANGES FROM
BROWN TO WHITE IN THE SEASONS IT IS
BROWN IN THE SUMMER AND FALL AND
WHITE IN THE WINTER.
The size of the prey
population effects
the size of the
predator population.
If there is lots of
prey the more
predators there are
and if there is few of
prey the predator
population goes
down.
TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION (WITCH INCLUDES
RAINFALL, SNOW, MIST, AND FOG.) THIS IS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE
CHARACTERISTICS .
LATITUDE IS ANOTHER ABIOTIC FACTOR IT
AFFECTS THE TEMPERATURE AND
PRECIPITATION, IT IS MEASURED BY HOW FAR
NORTH OR SOUTH FROM THE EQUATOR.
ELEVATION IS THE HIGHT OF A
LAND MASS ABOVE SEA LEVEL
OCEAN CURRENTS ARE ANOTHER
ABOITIC FACTOR THAT EFFECTS
TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION.
Biodiversity in
ecosystems
As humans use
and expand into
the ecosystems
from all over the
world it is
becoming harder
to balance the
nature/ habitats
with the man
made objects and
places.
