Chapter 1 ‐ Section 3 Interactions Within Communities

A. Sun—source of energy that fuels most life on Earth

1. Producers—organisms that use an outside energy source to make energy‐rich molecules (their own food)

a. Most producers use the Sun and contain chlorophyll, a chemical required for photosynthesis.

b. Some producers, found near volcanic vents on the ocean floor, use inorganic molecules as energy sources for chemosynthesis.

2. Consumers—organisms that cannot make their own energy‐rich molecules; they obtain energy by eating other organisms.

a. Herbivores, such as deer and rabbits, eat plants.

b. Carnivores, such as frogs and lions, eat animals.

c. Omnivores, such as pigs and humans, eat both plants and animals

d. Decomposers, such as earthworms and bacteria, eat dead organisms

3. Food chain—a model that shows the feeding relationships among the organisms in an ecosystem

B. Symbiosis—any close relationship between species

1. Mutualism—a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit

2. Commensalism—a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is not affected

3. Parasitism—a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed

C. Niche—an organism’s role in its environment, including its habitat and food, and how it avoids danger, finds a mate and cares for its young

1. Predator and prey

a. Predator—consumer that captures and eats other consumers

b. Prey—the organism that is captured by the predator

c. Predators limit the size of prey populations, increasing the number of different species that can live in an ecosystem

2. Cooperative actions improve a species’ survival.

a. Example: one deer warns the others of predators in the area.

b. Example: individual ants perform different tasks required for the survival of all.

DISCUSSION QUESTION:

Are humans producers or consumers? Explain. 

Humans are consumers because we cannot produceour own energy­rich molecules (food).We must obtain it by eating other organisms, which have energy­rich molecules.
