Ecosystems
• An ecosystem includes biotic and abiotic factors.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
• Ecology is the study of the interactions between living things and their environment.
Producers
• Producers are organisms that use light energy from the Sun or energy from chemical reactions to make their own food.
• Only a few types of producers on Earth make food without energy.
• Producers use carbon dioxide and water to make sugars, which they use as food.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
Types of Producers
The Sun• Photosynthesis is a process that some producers
use to make their own food using light energy.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
Plants
• Most green plants are producers.
• Plants use light energy, water, and carbon dioxide and make simple sugars.
• These sugars are a source of energy and carbon.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
Protists and Bacteria• Some protists are producers, such as algae,
dinoflagellates, and euglenas.
• Some bacteria, called cyanobacteria, carry out photosynthesis.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
Chemosynthesis• Some bacteria make food using energy from chemical
reactions in a process called chemosynthesis.
• Some chemosynthetic bacteria live deep in the ocean where sunlight never reaches.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
Consumers• Consumers are organisms that cannot make their
own food.
– All animals are consumers because they eat other organisms or their wastes.
– Some consumers eat producers, and some eat other consumers.
– Some consumers, such as protozoans, are single-celled.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
Types of Consumers
• Herbivores are animals that eat only plants.
• Carnivores are animals that only eat other animals.
• Omnivores are animals that eat other animals and plants.
13.1 Producers and Consumers
Types of Consumers (cont.)
• Scavengers are organisms that eat dead animals.
• Decomposers break down dead organisms, and animal droppings, and other wastes produced by living things.

13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
Energy Through the Ecosystems
• Organisms do not create or destroy energy; they change it from one form to another.
• Energy moves one way through an ecosystem—from producers to consumers and decomposers.
13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
Food as Energy
• Energy passes through ecosystems as food.
13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
Food Chains• A food chain is an illustration of how energy moves
though an ecosystem.
13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
Food Webs• An ecosystem contains more than one type of producer,
and most organisms eat more than one type of food.
• A food web is a more complicated model of the flow of energy in an ecosystem.
13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
Food Webs (cont.)
13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
Energy Pyramids• An energy pyramid is a diagram that shows how much
energy is available to each type of consumer.
– The bottom layer has the most available energy and contains the producers.
– The middle layers contain primary consumers and secondary consumers.
– The small top layer has the least available energy and contains tertiary consumers.

13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
Releasing Thermal Energy• All organisms release some energy in food as thermal
energy.
• This is why less energy is available with each step up an energy pyramid.
13.2 Energy in Ecosystems
How is energy transferred through a community of organisms?

13.3 Matter in Ecosystems
Cycles of Matter• The amount of matter—anything that has mass and takes
up space—on Earth never changes.
• Elements that make up matter cycle among living things and between abiotic and biotic environments.
13.3 Matter in Ecosystems
Nitrogen Cycle• Nitrifying bacteria change atmospheric nitrogen into forms
of nitrogen that plants can take up through their roots.
• The nitrogen cycle describes how nitrogen moves from the atmosphere to the soil, to living organisms, and then back to the atmosphere.

Nitrogen Cycle (cont.)13.3 Matter in Ecosystems
Phosphorus Cycle• The phosphorus cycle describes how
phosphorus moves from soil to producers and consumers, and back to soil.
13.3 Matter in Ecosystems
The Carbon Cycle• The carbon cycle describes how carbon moves
between the living and nonliving environments.
• Carbon is the key element in sugars, proteins, starches, and many other compounds that make up living things.
