GPS Standard: SB4. Students will assess the dependence of all organisms on one another and the flow of energy and matter within their ecosystem a. Investigate the relationships among organisms, populations, communities , ecosystems and biomes Ecology: Ecological Relationships • Identify relationships among components in an ecosystem • Relate adaptations to the survival of organisms • Explain the adaptations of an organism that enable the organism to be successful within an ecosystem • Relate the stages of succession to changes in an ecosystem after a natural disaster • Biotic – living factors in an ecosystem – Grass, trees, animals, insects • Abiotic – nonliving factors in an ecosystem – Rocks, soil, water, air, minerals Abiotic factors often determine the Biotic factors in a community Organism Population Community Ecosystem Biome Biosphere • A single individual of a particular species • What defines a group as a species? Organisms so similar to one another that they can breed and produce SPECIES fertile offspring = _____________ http://suedafrika.net/bluegifs/twooryx.jpg http://environnement.ecoles.free.fr/Site-chevaux/images/etalon_quarter_horse_genuine_redskin.jpg http://www.caribbeanart.com/art/j-portrait-donkey.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule EX: Horse X donkey = mule 64 chromosomes 62 chromosomes 63 chromosomes Horses and donkeys are different species. If you breed them, the result is a mule which can NOT have offspring! Population • A group of organisms of one species that interbreed and live in the same place. Community • A collection of interacting populations. Ecosystem • A community and all of the physical surroundings, or abiotic factors, that affect that community. Biome • Group of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar climax communities.

Students will assess the dependence of all organisms on one another and the flow of energy and matter within their ecosystem b. Explain the flow of matter and energy through ecosystems by *Arranging components of a food chain according to energy flow * Comparing the quantity of energy in the steps of an energy pyramid Ecology: Transfer of Matter and Energy • Recognize the role of an organism within a food chain or food web • Analyze the transfer of energy and matter through an ecosystem • Explain the concept of an ecosystem in terms of its components and the flow of matter and energy through the system • Construct food chains and webs, based on the position of an organism within an ecosystem ALL LIVING THINGS USE ENERGY The Earth is SOLAR POWERED!

The rest is HEAT lost as ________ http://home.insightbb.com/~g.mager/Pond/Ecosystem.htll • Cut out your organisms. • Organize them into a food web on your piece of construction paper. • Check your web with me before you glue it. • Label trophic levels, producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers. • Draw arrows to show the flow of energy. • Label each consumer as carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, or scavenger. You must have at least one omnivore in your web. • When you finish work on the worksheet from yesterday that is due today.. • Symbiosis – the interactions of organisms in an ecosystem – Predator/Prey – one kills and one is eaten – Commensalism – one benefits,one is not affected. – Mutualism – both benefits – Parasitism – one benefits and one is harmed – Competition – when two or more organisms use one resource
