1. Living world review

2. Ecosystem
This the interactions between all the Biotic (living ) and Abiotic (Non living) things in a given place and time.
Abiotic: Rocks, water, air, earth, climate, Habitat
Biotic: Food chains, breeding, adaptations, competition (for space, light, water, and food)

3. Population All of one (1) species
That live in the same habitat at the same time.
Populations compete for
Shelter
A mate
Food
water

4. Niche Special role that the species plays in its habitat
How it adapts to climate physically
How it builds its shelter
What it eats and when it eats
How it shares its food source

5. Adaptations How fit a species is means
how well it is adapted to its niche.
Adaptations can be physical or behavioral
They can adapt to their
food source -communications
Habitat -reproduction
Climate

6. Success is having grandchildren
A species Individuals that are:
so similar
can mate and
produce fertile young
in their natural habitat
The more they “fit” their niche, the more children will survive and have children.
This is success in the natural world

7. Natural selection We call this success natural selection.
The animals with the best traits live longer
They stay warm, get enough food, and don’t get eaten.
Therefore they have more babies.
More of the successful traits get handed down
They accumulate over time
The population evolves.

8. Which peppered moth is more likely to be eaten by Blue Jays?
before industrial revolution
1895’s:
after the industrial revolution1
NO POLLUTION!
Trees are covered in lichen
Pollution kills lichen.
Trees covered with soot
from factories
5% of the moths were white
95% were black
98% of moths were white
2% were black

9. Taxonomy This is how we organize all the different species.
We give each individual a scientific name
Genus species eg Homo sapiens (You)
These are the smallest groups
The biggest groups are Kingdoms there are 5
Animal Plant Fungus Protista Monera
You fern yeast amoeba bacteria

10. What are the characteristics of living things
Move
Grow
Reproduce
They need energy
The excrete
They respond to stimuli
They are made of cells
This is the most important characteristic
Is a flame alive?
Yes it flickers
Yes it spreads
Yes light a candle
Yes fuel (wax or wood)
Yes smoke
Yes blow on a flame No
therefore they are not alive.

11. What does a cell look like?
It depends on what job they do
There are all different kinds of cells

12. Generalized Animal cell

13. Generalized plant cell
