1. Ecosystems

2. How are a biome and an ecosystem different?
Biomes:
large areas of the world
contain similar plants, animals and living organisms.
contain multiple ecosystems that are similar to each other.
Ecosystems:
significantly smaller
Can vary in size
interactions that take places between animals, plants, soil, nutrients and other living organisms within a specific area

3. Abiotic Factors
Sunlight Nutients Water Photosynthesis plants convert CO2 and sunlight into energy Soil Oxygen

4. Biotic What type of animals might we see in a biome?
What is one animal called?
Organism
How do we put them into groups?
Species
Organisms that can reproduce with each other
Population
How many of 1 species in an ecosystem
Community
A populations of different species interacting in an ecosystem

5. Habitat
Habitat: is the specific area of natural environment where an organism lives In what habitat would we find the:

6. Ecological Hierarchy
This grouping is called an ecological hierarchy. Move from smallest group – to the largest Individual (smallest group) species  population (how many?)  community

7. Interaction between members of
two different species that live
together in close association

8. 3 Types of Symbiosis Mutualism both organisms benefit Commensalism
one species benefits and
the other is neither harmed
nor helped
Parasitism
one species benefits and the
other is harmed

9. Which type of Symbiosis?

10. Which type of Symbiosis?
Brood Parasitism
