Notes from Last Year:
Chapter 2 Ecology Notes
Meanings:
A: Not
Ose: Sugar
Ol: Alcohol
Bio: Living
Ology: The Study of
Inter: Between
BIOTIC (Living Things)
|
ABIOTIC (Non Living Things)
|
Animals
|
Water
|
Plants
|
Air
|
Humans
|
Sun
|
Food
| |
Currents
| |
Temperature (Weather)

Biotic: Living things in the ecosystem
Bio: Life
Tic: Factor
*Dead things are still biotic because they were once living.
Abiotic: Not a living thing
A: Not
Biotic: Life factor
*Non-living things can’t be dead because they were not alive to begin with
Producer: Make new energy (food) for our ecosystem (against the system) (maker)
Pro: For or positive
Consumer: Use/ Take away energy
Con: Against or negative
PRODUCERS = AUTOTROPHS
Autotrophs: Makes their own food (Food from inside)
Auto: Self
Troph: Energy/Nutrition
CONSUMER = HETEROTROPH
Heterotroph: Get their food from different (other) sources (Food from Outside)
Hetero: Different (Other Sources)
Troph: Energy/Nutrition
Ecosystem: How all things interact together
Eco: Life
System: how things interact
Producer: Make energy (food) for our ecosystem (against the system)
Pro: For or positive
Consumer: Use/ Take away energy
Con: Against or negative
Decompose: To breakdown what was made
De: Breakdown
Compose: Make
Decomposer: Break down leftover energy found in dead things. (Eats dead things)
Organism: Any living things having 1- infinity (any number) of cells.
You must have one cell, any living things, no matter how big or small
· Small Organism: Bacteria, Germ
· Medium Organism: Bug
· Large Organism: Dog, Human
Species: Group of the same kinds of organisms
Interactions: Things that happen between plants and/or animals
Inter: Between
Actions: How plants and animals do things
Guiding Question:
How do species interactions lead to changes in organisms?
PREDATOR/PREY
· Predator:
· Prey:
· Reduce
|
Must hunt for food, Predator = Lion
Who is hunted, Prey = Zebra
· Predators eat prey and reduce their numbers (prey are killed so there are less zebra now)
Go down in number
This relationship is good for the predator because they get nutrition, but is bad for the prey because they die.
|
PARASITISM
Ectoparasite
· Ecto
Endoparasite
· Endo
o Example:
|
Relationship where one organism needs a host to survive. Takes nutrients from the host. Example: Mistletoe, heartworms
Outside
Ectoderm (Skin)
Inside
Endoscopy
