How are ecosystems structured?

what is a “POPULATION?”

Groups of the same _______ form…

Groups of the same species form…

Groups of the same species forM populations

Groups of the same species forM populations.

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism)

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = ????

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = ????

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = SEVERAL POPULATIONS of organisms in a common location

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = SEVERAL POPULATIONS of organisms in a common location ECOSYSTEM = ??? IS IT BIGGER?

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = SEVERAL POPULATIONS of organisms in a common location ECOSYSTEM = ???

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = SEVERAL POPULATIONS of organisms in a common location ECOSYSTEM = ??? IS IT BIGGER? USUALLY

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = SEVERAL POPULATIONS of organisms in a common location ECOSYSTEM = DOES IT INCLUDE ONLY BIOTIC THINGS?

POPULATION = 1 SPECIES (1 specific type of organism) COMMUNITY = SEVERAL POPULATIONS of organisms in a common location ECOSYSTEM = ANY NUMBER of COMMUNITIES that SHARE a common ENVIRONMENT INCLUDING their ABIOTIC components

do diagram on bd.

draw this for an easy way to remember! population population population COMMUNITY ECOSYSTEM shared environment with both biotic & abiotic parts

Can you recall some abiotic components to an ecosystem?

Can you recall some abiotic components to an ecosystem? TEMPERATURE WATER AVAILABILITY AVAILABLE SUNLIGHT

Can you recall some abiotic components to an ecosystem? TEMPERATURE WATER AVAILABILITY AVAILABLE SUNLIGHT AIR MOISTURE

Can you recall some abiotic components to an ecosystem? TEMPERATURE WATER AVAILABILITY AVAILABLE SUNLIGHT AIR MOISTURE

Can you recall some abiotic components to an ecosystem? TEMPERATURE WATER AVAILABILITY AVAILABLE SUNLIGHT AIR MOISTURE AIR CONDITIONS TERRAIN (rocky? sloped?)

shared environment with both biotic & abiotic parts how do we show feeding relationships BETWEEN ALL THE BIOTIC PARTS OF A COMMUNITY OR ECOSYSTEM? population population population COMMUNITY ECOSYSTEM shared environment with both biotic & abiotic parts
