4. Essential Question What are some relationships between different species beyond food chains? Standard B.12A - interpret relationships, including predation, parasitism, commensalism, mutualism, and competition among organisms. PG 131

5. The three types of community interactions that can affect an ecosystem are: Competition Predation Symbiosis

6. Competition occurs when organisms of the same or different species attempt to use the same ecological resource.

7. A resource refers to any necessity of life. Water Nutrients Light Food Space Some resources are limited

8. Limiting Factors If the presence or absence of a factor limits the growth of the ecosystems elements, it is called a limiting factor. One of the features of an ecosystem is that its growth is limited under normal conditions by competition for resources within the system and by external factors such as environmental changes

9. Different factors can limit population growth How is the population size affected by these factors?

10. Carrying Capacity The largest number of individuals of one species that an ecosystem can support OVER TIME. If a population begins to exceed the environment’s carrying capacity, some individuals will not have enough resources. – The could die or be forced to move elsewhere.

11. Human population growth Is there a Carrying Capacity for Homo sapiens? Agriculture begins Plowing and irrigation Bubonic plague Industrial Revolution begins

12. Predation An interaction in which one organism captures and feeds on another organism is called predation.

13. The organism that does the killing and eating is called the predator.

14. The food organism that gets eaten is called the prey.

15. An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce.

16. Adaptations can be physical. Adaptations can be behavioral. List 3 examples of physical and behavioral adaptations.

17. Any relationship in which two species live closely together is called symbiosis. Symbiosis literally means “living together”.

18. In mutualism, both species benefit from the relationship.

19. In commensalism, one member of the relationship benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.

20. In parasitism, one organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it. “1 benefits and 1 is harmed”

21. The parasite obtains all or part of its nutritional needs from the other organism, called the host. Parasites do not usually kill their hosts.

22. Essential Question What are some relationships between different species beyond food chains? Standard B.12A - interpret relationships, including predation, parasitism, commensalism, mutualism, and competition among organisms. PG 131

23. Examples of Relationships: In the following clips identify the relationship that is shown 3 kinds of symbiosis : Clownfish/Anemone, Fish lice, Cleaner Fish, Shark/Remora 3 kinds of symbiosis Cleaner Fish and Tiger Groupers Nile Crocodile Rhino and bird (symbiotic song) Bird and Capybara & Hippo and Bird Bird and Capybara Bonus: 5 most horrible parasites5 most horrible parasites

24. Eco Relationships “Instas” Divide your paper to create 4 boxes. In each box, draw an “insta” for each type of ecological relationship (Think about how Instagram works…the picture should describe the relationships) Predation, Mutualism, Commensalism, and Parasitism Include a caption that also describes the relationship
