Bio

Study of interactions between organisms and their environment

Producer, Primary Consumer, Secondary Consumer, Tertiary Consumer

Only 10% of energy in one trophic is passed onto the next.

Pyramid of Numbers
Pyramid of Energy
Pyramid of Biomass

A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten

Interconnected food chains that show feeding relationships in an ecosystem

Abiotic - Non Living
Biotic - Living

Relationships with dependency on two organisms

Mutualism, Commensalism, Parasitism

One benefits, other harmed; dog and tick

Both benefit; bee and flower

One benefits, other unaffected; whale and barnacles

organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

Number of individuals surviving to each age for a group

1,2,3

Study of Population

Changes in population through time and space

Random Sampling
Mark & Recapture
Quadrant Sampling

Each member has an equal chance of inclusion

Capture small number, mark them and release. Catch another group, count # of marks.

Organisms counted directly, then used to estimate rest of habitat.

Number of different species in biosphere.

Number of species in a community

Occurs only in plants
Plant makes glucose from light, carbon dioxide, and water

Chloroplast

leaves

Reactants: CO2 and H2O
Products: C6H12O6 (glucose) and O2

Cell turns glucose into energy

Mitochondria

Reactants: C6H12O6 (glucose) 6O2
Products: 6CO2, 6H2O, and ATP

flow of carbon between atmosphere and earth

Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration, Decomposition, Combustion

Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

basic structural units of life (smallest too)

Prokaryotic cells, plant cells, outside plasma membrane, protection

Jellylike material that surrounds organelles

Site of protein synthesis

Control center of the cell

Saclike structures that store materials like water and proteins

Small organelles filled with enzymes

Powerhouse of the cell

Sort proteins and other substances and packages them
