Ecology
• Ecology is the study of organisms and their interaction with the environment.
– An organism is any living thing• Examples: Humans, animals, plant, bacteria

Organism
• An organism is any living thing that can carry out all of the basic life activities.

Population
• Population is a group of individuals of the same species that live together in the same area.

Community
• Community– Is composed of all of the populations of
different organisms living together in a given are such as your lawn (contains grass, insects, and worms)

Producers and consumersGreen plants provide the entire input of energy
to an ecosystem and are called producers. When animals (herbivores) eat plants, the
carbohydrates stored in plants are converted
back into glucose. The glucose is broken down
during respiration to provide the animal’s
energy requirements.
Similarly, when carnivores eat other animals, this chemical energy is passed on.

Decomposers
Organisms that use the organic matter of
dead plants and animals are called
decomposers. They release digestive enzymes
to break down organic matter and then absorb
the products of digestion. Decomposers include fungi and bacteria.

Decomposers
• worms • Fungus/mushrooms
• bacteria • Bacteria attacking a cell

Ecosystem
• The Ecosystem– Is a self supporting area composed of
living and nonliving things such as the Rain Forest or the Desert
– It produces energy, transfers energy, decomposes, and recycles
– It made up of two (2) types of factors:• Biotic and Abiotic
![Page 16: Ecology. Ecology is the study of organisms and their interaction with the environment. –An organism is any living thing Examples: Humans, animals, plant,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2b5503460f94c46608/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Biotic
• Biotic Factors– The living parts of
the environment such as plants, bacteria, and animals
![Page 17: Ecology. Ecology is the study of organisms and their interaction with the environment. –An organism is any living thing Examples: Humans, animals, plant,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2b5503460f94c46608/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Abiotic
• Abiotic Factors– are non
living parts of the environment such as rocks, the sun, and temperature
![Page 18: Ecology. Ecology is the study of organisms and their interaction with the environment. –An organism is any living thing Examples: Humans, animals, plant,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2b5503460f94c46608/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Uses of energy by organismsLiving organisms need a constant supply of
energy to maintain cellular activities and stay
alive. In ecosystems the initial source of energy
is light from the sun. This is used by plants
during photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates.
Organisms (i.e. plants) that can manufacture their
own food from inorganic materials are called
autotrophs.

Food chains and webs
Food chains show the flow of energy through
ecosystems.

Food webs
The interrelationship between many food chains
is called a
food web.
![Page 22: Ecology. Ecology is the study of organisms and their interaction with the environment. –An organism is any living thing Examples: Humans, animals, plant,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2b5503460f94c46608/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Adaptations
All organisms have adaptations that help them to survive. Organisms that are adapted to their environment are able to:• obtain air, water, food and nutrients • cope with physical conditions such as
temperature, light and heat • defend themselves from their natural enemies • reproduce • respond to changes around them
