Organization in the biosphere Biosphere-
portion of the Earth that supports life

Abiotic factors- non-living parts of the environment
Ex.- air temp.,water, light, soil
Biotic factors- all living organisms that inhabit an environment
Parts of the Biosphere

Organization of the biosphere
Ecosystem- interactions among the populations in a community and the communities’ physical surroundings ( or abiotic factors)
Parts of an Ecosystem Habitat- place where organism
lives Niche- role and position a
species has in its needs for food and shelter -all interactions with biotic and
abiotic parts of its environment
Biosphere
Ecosystem
Community
Population

Organization of the biosphere Community
a collection of interacting populations
a change in one population causes a change in another

Population Ecology Population growth- increase of the size of a group
over time ZPG = Zero Population Growth birthrate = death rate Population Growth = birthrate-death rate x 100
1000

Emigration- movement
from a population

Relationships in the community
Symbiosis- relationships between organisms where there is a close and permanent association among organisms
Three types Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism
![Page 14: Ecology Principles of Ecology. Organization in the biosphere Biosphere- portion of the Earth that supports life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e9c5503460f94b9d150/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Types of Symbiosis Mutualism- both organisms benefit
Lichens are formed by algae and fungi living together. Algae can photosynthesize and make food which is shared by the fungus. The fungus in turn shelters the algae from a harsh climate.
![Page 15: Ecology Principles of Ecology. Organization in the biosphere Biosphere- portion of the Earth that supports life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e9c5503460f94b9d150/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Types of Symbiosis Mutualism #2
Bright and colorful clown fish live in and amongst the tentacles of the sea anemone, which look like beautiful aquatic flowers, but bear poisonous stinging cells called nematocysts. A slime layer covering the clownfish make them immune to the stinging cells, and the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone deter potential predators. The clownfish in turn protect the sea anemone from other fish that would feed on the anemone. Clownfish lay eggs within the sea anemone, which offers protection during their incubation and development.

Types of Symbiosis Commensalism- one organism benefits, the
other is unaffected
Barnacles attach to a whale or scallop shell. The barnacles get a home and transport, and the whale or scallop is not affected.

Types of Symbiosis Commensalism #2
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) forages in pastures and fields among livestock such as cattle and horses, feeding on the insects stirred up by the movement of the grazing animals. The egrets benefit from the arrangement, but the livestock, generally, do not. However as in most cases of commensalism, there is a "but". Cattle Egrets have been observed perching on the top of cattle picking off ticks, lending a slight tinge of mutualism to the arrangement.

Types of Symbiosis Parasitism- one organism benefits, the other is
harmed
A tapeworm lives inside another animal, attaching itself to the host's gut and absorbing its host's food. The host loses nutrition, and may develop weight loss, diarrhea and vomiting. Usually parasites do not kill the host before they move on, as this would cut off their food supply.

Nutrition and Energy Flow The ultimate source
of energy is…
the SUN!
![Page 21: Ecology Principles of Ecology. Organization in the biosphere Biosphere- portion of the Earth that supports life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e9c5503460f94b9d150/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Nutrition and Energy Flow
Autotroph/Producers use sun’s energy to create chemical compounds (photosynthesis)
Ex. – plants and algae
Food Chains- shows how matter and energy flow from autotroph to heterotroph to decomposer
Herbivores/1st Order Consumers- feeds on plants
Carnivores/ 2nd and 3rd Order Consumers- feed on other animals
Heterotrophs/Consumers- organisms that feed on other organisms
![Page 22: Ecology Principles of Ecology. Organization in the biosphere Biosphere- portion of the Earth that supports life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e9c5503460f94b9d150/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nutrition and Energy Flow
Decomposers- break down and absorb nutrients from dead organisms
Ex.- fungi and bacteria
![Page 23: Ecology Principles of Ecology. Organization in the biosphere Biosphere- portion of the Earth that supports life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e9c5503460f94b9d150/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Nutrition and Energy Flow Other members of a
food chain Omnivores- feeds
on plants and animals

Nutrition and Energy Flow Trophic Levels- a
feeding step in a food chain
only pass on approximately 10% of energy to next trophic level
![Page 28: Ecology Principles of Ecology. Organization in the biosphere Biosphere- portion of the Earth that supports life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e9c5503460f94b9d150/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
