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

2. ECOSYSTEM Be ready to sort Marsh animals into biotic and abiotic categories What is a niche?

4. 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

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

6. 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:

8. 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

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

15. 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? ????????????????????

17. .Label as biotic or abiotic 1.Water 2.A owl 3.A mushroom 4.Oxygen 5.Bacteria 2. Explain the concept of interdependence between bees and apple trees. 3. From the notes… define: a. niche b. symbiosis c. Mutualism d. interdependence e. Parasitism 4. How does the alligator and the bird that cleans its teeth show mutualism? 5. How does a dog and a flea show parasitism? 6.What are the 3 types relationships that occur in an ecosystem? (between biotic/abiotic) 7. In a Venn Diagram compare producers to consumers

18. ENERGY IS NEITHER CREATED OR DESTROYED...IT SIMPLY CHANGES FORM Go with the flow!

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

34. Plants and the formula of life
