Survival Words
Food Web is the system of food.
Tropic Levels is the levels of food.
Producer and Consumer, the producers get energy from the sun, and consumers gets energy by eating producers.
Energy Pyramid shows the relationship between producers and consumers.
Photosynthesis & Respiration are different methods of obtaining energy from the environment.
Biotic & Abiotic Factors are the classification of alive and not alive.
Nitrogen Cycle is the flow of nitrogen as different forms and transforms into other chemicals.
Carbon Oxygen Cycle is the flow of carbon oxygen through a system.
Predator-Prey Relationship is the interaction between a predator and prey.
Carrying Capacity is the maximum of population an area can hold.
Greenhouse Effect is the gases that trap heat and allow sunlight in the atmosphere.
Global Warming is a rise in global temperatures.
Human Population is the number of people on earth.
Invasive Species are a non-native species that thrive in an area and may affect the environment for the other species.
Ecology Critical Questions
Why do organisms rely on one another to survive? They need each other for air and energy. Also they depend on each other in the food web and tropic levels. Smaller animals provide food for larger animals and consumers. The predator prey relationship help keeps the population within the carrying capacity of the environment. The Most Un-wanted project on invasive species helped learn how we not only need other organisms, but the wrong species can have a bad effect on the survival of other species. We are concerned with keeping invasive species out of the Great Lakes because they can harm other species by taking needed nutrients from them. We depend on our environment and the animals in it for survival.
How do living organisms interact with their environment? They interact with the amount of land, amount of plants, air, water, and other organisms in the environment. This includes all the abiotic and biotic factors around. As well there is predator and prey in the carrying capacity of the ecosystem they're in. Each living organism is part of a food web. In some situations, an invasive species may become part of an environment, and this can upset the balance in the environment. Our computer lab which showed the relationship between wolves and rabbits helped understand the interaction and dependence between predator and prey. We help control the population of different species by opening hunting seasons.
How is matter and energy transferred and transformed in an ecosystem? Matter and energy is used by the animals and plants in the ecosystem. Energy is transferred through the energy pyramid, from the producers to the consumers. The energy is transformed to meet the energy requirements of an organism. Plants and animals also use nitrogen, which makes them part of the nitrogen cycle. Understanding the energy pyramid helps us to better understand the balance we need to maintain in our environment.
