1. ECOSYSTEMS Blend space: Ecosystem video I understand the relationships that occur in ecosystems 0 1 2 3 4 5

2. ECOSYSTEM Tasks: 1. Make a Venn diagram comparing biotic and abiotic factor in a Marsh Ecosystem. Provide examples! 2. What is a niche? Explain with “cited” evidence 3.Compare producers to consumers and then explain how consumers are categorized 4. Explain the 3 types of “ism”

5. 1. Biotic to Biotic...predator/prey, racoon/ducks… 2. Biotic to Abiotic...Humans drinking water or breathing oxygen 3. Aboitic to Aboitic...weathering,erosion,deposition 3 types of relationships

6. Plants(producers)have the ability to turn light energy into chemical energy(photosynthesis) They are the foundation of every energy cycle! Without them ecosystems do not exist. Producers

7. Consumers can not do photosynthesis so they must eat other plants and animals to get chemical energy. Consumers:

8. 1.Herbivores: Plant eaters (deer, rabbit, and ducks) 2.Carnivores: Meat eaters (fox, coyotes, and owls) 3.Omnivores: Plant and meat eaters (raccoon, Opossum, skunks, and painted turtles ) Consumers:

9. Animals and plants who need each other in order to survive and reproduce… Watch video # 2 on BLENDSPACE Define and give at least 3 examples of diferrent types of interdependence Interdependence

15. THINK:How can red tail hawks and great horned owls affect an ecosystem? Interspecies competition ????

16. Why would an apple tree farmers place beehives in the middle of his apple orchard? THINK????????????????????

17. ENERGY IS NEITHER CREATED OR DESTROYED...IT SIMPLY CHANGES FORM Go with the flow! I understand how energy flows through an ecosystem 0 1 2 3 4 5

18. 1.What does the law of Thermodynamics state. How do producers cause this process on our planet? How do consumers carry on this process? 2.What happens as energy moves up the energy pyramid? Where does it go? 3.What are the various categories of consumers? Give local examples of each. 4.What is the niche of the decomposer group? Why are they important? 5. Create an energy pyramid? (Your best one!) Study Guide:

33. Create an energy pyramid from animals found in the Mentor marsh ***Use power Vocabulary*** On the Wall…

35. I understand the structures and the functions of a leaf as it transfers energy through an ecosystem 0 1 2 3 4 5 Leaf me alone!

36. 1.What is the main function of a leaf? 2.What is the purpose of the following leaf’s structure: stoma, waxy cuticle, vein, chloroplast, chlorophyll 3.Why are leaves green? Why do they turn colors in the fall? 4.Can leaves that turned red in the fall do photosynthesis? 5.Display the formula of photosynthesis. How do the two products of this process help every ecosystem? Study Guide

37. 1.Leaves are the, “food factories that produce food for the plant.” They do this through photosynthesis which turns light energy into chemical energy. Question 1 and 2

38. 2.Stomas, “allow for the exchange of gases.” They allow oxygen to leave the plant and they allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant.(Pores in the bottom of the leaf)

39. 2. Waxy cuticle water proofs the leaves. Prevents water loss and does not let leaf get soggy. The outside layer of a leaf is transparent and allows light to pass through it.

40. Plants and the formula of life
