What is Ecology? How organisms interact with one another and with
their nonliving environment Study of CONNECTIONS

Ecological Organization•Individual
•Species are groups of organisms that resemble one another
•Populations•Group of interacting individuals of the same species
•Communities•Populations of different species occupying the same place
•Ecosystems•Community interacting with one another and nonliving environment
•Biomes•Regions made up of ecosystems
•Biosphere•Zone of earth where life is found

Sustaining Life on Earth

THE Source of Energy
![Page 9: Ecosystems: Components, Energy Flow, and Matter Cycling](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/5681615d550346895dd0e7f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Greenhouse Effect Not the same
thing as global warming!
Unreflected solar radiation degraded to infrared radiation
Greenhouse gases reduce heat flow back to space
What are some greenhouse gases?

Abiotic ComponentsTerrestrial Ecosystem
Aquatic Life Zone
Nonliving, physical and chemical factors that influence organisms in land ecosystems and aquatic life zones
![Page 11: Ecosystems: Components, Energy Flow, and Matter Cycling](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/5681615d550346895dd0e7f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Law of Tolerance Presence of a species determined by abiotic factors
falling within the range of tolerance Individuals in a population may have slightly
different tolerance ranges because of genetic differences, health, age
![Page 12: Ecosystems: Components, Energy Flow, and Matter Cycling](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/5681615d550346895dd0e7f8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tolerance Limits

Limiting FactorsTerrestrial Ecosystem
Aquatic Life Zone
Limiting Factor Principle: Too much OR too little of any abiotic factor can limit/prevent growth, even if all other factors are at or near optimum range

Biotic Components Detritivores: feed on parts of dead organisms, cast-
off fragments, and wastes of living organisms
![Page 17: Ecosystems: Components, Energy Flow, and Matter Cycling](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061522/5681615d550346895dd0e7f8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Using EnergyAerobic Respiration
Use oxygen to convert organic nutrients back into carbon dioxide and water
Anaerobic Respiration Break down glucose
without oxygen End products vary
