24. What’s the point in studying ecology? –How is this relevant to my life?

25. Answer- Because you a part of the ecosystem. This world has some serious ecological problems and understanding the relationship between living things and the environment is the key to better management. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

28. The Concepts in Ecology –Please pay attention to the next slide as you will need to learn and demonstrate an understanding of these big concepts. –Everything Is Changing. –There’s No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

29. Organisms need energy to survive. Energy from the sun flows into and out systems. This energy drives our world and the organisms in it. Energy is lost “not destroyed” when it changes form. Flows Hot to Cold Ecological systems are organized within each other. The effects on one system will effect them all. All systems are interconnected. All organisms are in a constant state of change over time with the environment. Some organisms will change with another and will develop special interactions. Others with the nonliving world. Matter and energy cycle through the living and nonliving world. Organisms rely on this matter and energy cycling to survive. Animals are interconnected in a complex web of life. Changes on one part of the web will effect other parts of the web and the stability of the entire ecosystem. Ecosystems have a way to balance changes so that up and down fluctuations are part of the natural balance of the whole.
