4.1 Communities and Ecosystems
4.1.1Define: (1)
Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and their environment.
Ecosystem—a community and its abiotic environment. Population—a group of organisms of the same species who live in the
same area at the same time. Community—a group of populations living and interacting with each
other in an area. Species—a group of organisms which can interbreed and produce
fertile offspring. Habitat—the environment in which a species normally lives or the
location of a living organism.

4.1 Communities and Ecosystems
Interdependence Example:
Many ecosystems depend on oxygen from the rain forests, or from algae in the ocean
Interrelationship Example:
Rising temperatures in the poles resulting in melting of the ice would have great effects on coastal ecosystems all over the world

heterotroph (consumer) – organisms that use the energy in organic matter, obtained from other organisms
Three Types:
1. consumers
2. detritivore
3. saprotroph

4.1 Communities and Ecosystems
1. consumers – feed on other living things
2. detritivore – feed on dead organic matter by ingesting it
3. saprotroph (decomposer) – feed on dead organic material by secreting digestive enzymes into it and absorbing the products

4.1 Communities and Ecosystems
4.1.13
Explain that energy can enter and leave an ecosystem, but that nutrients must be recycled.
(3)
Energy enters as light and usually leaves as heat.
Nutrients do not usually enter an ecosystem and must be used again and again. Nutrients such as Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus
![Page 20: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

4.2 Populations
• Natality – offspring are produced and added to the population
• Mortality – individuals die and are lost from the population
• Immigration – individuals move into the area from somewhere else and add to the population
• Emigration – indivuals move out of the area and are lost from the population

4.2 Populations
Exponential Phase
Population increases exponentially because the natality rate is higher than the mortality rate. This is because there is an abundance of food, and disease and predators are rare.
![Page 30: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
4.2 Populations
Transitional Phase
Difference between natality and mortality rates are not as great, but natality is still higher so population continues to grow, but at a slower rate.
Food is no longer as abundant due to the increase in the population size. May also be increase predation and disease.
![Page 31: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
4.2 PopulationsPlateau PhaseNatality and mortality are equal so the population
size stays constant.
Limiting Factors:shortage of food or other resourcesincrease in predatorsmore diseases or parasites
If a population is limited, then it has reached its carrying capacity

4.2 Populations
4.2.11
Explain how the standard deviation is useful for comparing the means and the spread of ecological data between two or more populations. (3)
A small standard deviation indicates that the data is clustered closely around the mean value.
Conversely a large standard deviation indicates a wider spread around the mean.

4.5 Human Impact
• In studying the greenhouse effect students should be made aware that it is a natural phenomenon and that without it organisms may have evolved differently. The problem lies in its enhancement by certain human activities. Knowledge that gases other than carbon dioxide exert a greenhouse effect is required (eg methane and CFCs).

Greenhouse Effect
Phenomenon
The mean global temperature has risen about 1 degree Celsius since 1856. We saw an increase between 1910 and 1940, and from 1970 onwards.

Greenhouse Effect
Human Activities
Increased burning of fossil fuels releasing Greenhouse gases
Deforestation – less trees to convert CO2 back to O2
Other industrial activities that release other Greenhouse gases

Greenhouse Effect
CausesLight from the sun has short wavelengths
and can pass through most of the atmosphere.
This sunlight warms the earth which in turn emits long wave radiation.
This long wave radiation is bounced back by the greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour, and sulphur dioxide

4.3 Evolution
4.3.1Define Evolution—the process of cumulative
change in the heritable characteristics of a population. (1)
Macroevolution – the change from one species to another. i.e. – reptiles to birds
Microevolution – the change from one variation within a species to another. i.e. – a Chihuahua and a Great Dane

4.3 Evolution
4.3.2
State that populations tend to produce more offspring than the environment can support. (1)
![Page 70: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
4.3 Evolution
4.3.3Explain that the consequence of the
potential overproduction of offspring is a struggle for survival. (3)
Populations tend to grow exponentially, but population sizes tend to remain constant.
More offspring are produced than can be supported, therefore there is a struggle to survive, where some live and some die.

4.3 Evolution
4.3.4
State that the members of a species show variation. (1)

4.3 Evolution
4.3.5
Explain how sexual reproduction promotes variation in a species. (3)
See notes on meiosis (3.2)
And make reference to fertilization (5.2)
![Page 73: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
4.3 Evolution
4.3.6
Explain how natural selection leads to the increased reproduction of individuals with favourable heritable variations. (3)
• The Darwin–Wallace theory is accepted by most as the origin of ideas about evolution by means of natural selection
![Page 74: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Since organism’s traits vary, some organisms are more adapted to survival than others. When there is a struggle to survive those with favorable traits tend to survive long enough to pass them on. Those that have less favorable traits die before being able to pass the traits on.
![Page 75: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
4.3 Evolution
4.3.7Discuss the theory that species evolve by natural
selection. (3)There is evidence that the traits of populations
change over time in relation to changes in their environment. However, these recently observed changes are relatively small. These observations do not prove that the different species evolved from other species. Evolution is simply a theory. There are other theories as well.
![Page 76: Topic 4 - Ecology 4.1 Communities and Ecosystems 4.1.1 Define:(1) Ecology—the study of relationships between living organisms and between organisms and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1a38/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
4.3 Evolution
Two useful terms for discussion:Micro-Evolution – changes within a species
due to natural selection in response to environmental changes. Observed. Scientific fact.
Macro-Evolution – change from one species to another species through natural selection. Has not been observed. Still remains a theory.
