Ecology
• Matter and energy change forms by means of food
chains and food webs (a series of interconnected
food chains).
– Producers come first in a food chain. Producers are also
called __autotrophs___ and include plants and other
organisms that make their own food (usually through a
process known as __photosynthesis_______________).
– Consumers (or _heterotrophs__) are shown in the order in
which they consume their food or prey. Consumers can
obtain their food through __predation___ or
__scavenging___.
– Decomposers are organisms that break down dead
organisms and allow nutrients to be recycled. They come
last in a food chain.
– Example of a food chain:
• Food chain

Ecology
Ecology is the study of the interaction among
organisms and between organisms and their
environment.
• Levels of ecological organization:
– The environment is made up of living components (_biotic_
factors) and nonliving components (__abiotic__ factors)
– Organisms that live closely with other organisms are in a
symbiotic relationship.
• Mutualism
a. one organism benefits while the
other is harmed
• Commensalism b. both organisms benefit
• Parasitism
c. one organism benefits while the other
is neither helped nor harmed
Living Together
• Mutualism
– Both benefit
– Ants & aphids
• Commensalism
– One benefits other is neither harmed nor
helped
– Birds & bison
• Parasitism
– One benefits other is harmed
– Fungus on trees
Ecosystem
• All living and nonliving things in a given area
Community
– All living organisms that inhabit a given area.
– A group of populations
Population
• A group of individuals belonging to the same species
that live together in the same area
Competition
• Two or more organisms require the same resource that
is in limited supply.
• Food, shelter, light, water, mates
• The strongest organism will win the competition and will
be more likely to live and pass its genes on to the next
generation (natural selection).
Habitat
• Place or environment in which populations live
Niche
• Role of a species in an ecosystem
• Relationships, activities, resources used
Succession
• The series of predictable changes that occurs in a
community over time
• Primary succession occurs on a surface where no soil
exists. Example: bare rock, areas covered by volcanic
ash
• Secondary succession occurs in an area where a
disturbances changes an existing community without
destroying the soil. Example: plowed land, area
burned by wildfire
Biomes
Cycles of Matter
Carbon Cycle
• Carbon is the key
ingredient in all living
organisms
• Processes involved:
biological (example:
photosynthesis),
geochemical (example:
release of CO2 by
volcanoes), human
activity (example: burning
of fossil fuels)
Nitrogen Cycle
• All organisms require nitrogen to build
proteins
• Forms of nitrogen: N2 in atmosphere;
NH3, NO3-, NO2- in wastes; nitrate from
fertilizers
• Some bacteria convert N2 into NH3
during nitrogen fixation.
• Some bacteria convert nitrates into N2
during denitrification.
• Water Cycle
• All organisms require water to survive.
• Processes: evaporation, transpiration,
condensation, precipitation, seepage,
runoff
Genetics
• Dominant Allele = fully expressed
• Recessive Allele = only shows if dominant allele is
absent
• Homozygous = having 2 same allele
• Heterozygous = having two different alleles
• Phenotype = physical and physiological traits; what is
expressed; what you see
• Y = yellow; y = green
Genotype
Description
Phenotype
YY
Yy
yy
• A chicken and a rooster mate. The chicken has
white feathers and the rooster has brown
feathers. Brown is dominant, and white is
recessive. Assuming the rooster is
heterozygous, predict the frequency of each
genotype and phenotype in their offspring.
