18. What is ecology? Ecology- the study of organisms and their environment. – Reveals relationships between living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) parts of the environment. – Abiotic factors include… – Biotic factors include….

19. What are factors found in an ecosystem? Biotic Factors Plants Animals Bacteria Fungus Microscopic organisms like plankton Abiotic Factors Precipitation Temperature Soil Water Air Geographic features like mountains

20. The Biosphere

21. What are the Levels of organization in ecology Biosphere- the portion of the earth’s surface that supports life. Ecosystem- all of the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) factors interacting in the environment. Community- all of the populations that interact in an area. Population- a group of organisms of the same species that live at the same place at the same time. Organisms- individual living things.

Population- a group of organisms of the same species that live at the same place at the same time. Organisms- individual living things.

24. What is the idea of an ecosystem? Eco=Greek “oikos” which means house. System=a set of interrelated parts that work together and DEPEND on each other.

25. Can you identify this image? Without knowing the scale the image was taken, you might guess it is a type of plant. This image was taken with an electron microscope and zoomed in 50X. You most likely would not guess that this is an image of human eyelashes.

26. What is Scale Ecosystems exist at different scales. – Microscopic=consists of organisms not visible to the naked eye. – Macroscopic=consists of organisms you can see with the naked eye. Can range from small areas like a tidal pool to large areas like the ocean. Regardless of scale, an ecosystem still consists of – Abiotic and biotic factors – Competition – Predator/prey relationships

27. What are Microscopic Ecosystems Photographer David Littschwager captured this amazing shot of a single drop of seawater magnified 25 times to reveal an entire ecosystem of crab larva, diatoms, bacteria, fish eggs, zooplankton, and worms. In this single drop of water we can find all of the observable features of an ecosystem: biotic and abiotic factors, competition for resources, and predator prey relationships. Seawater magnified 25X

28. What are Macroscopic Ecosystems Macroscopic ecosystems can also range in scale, from a small freshwater pond to an entire rainforest. Yet in either system, we will find biotic and abiotic factors, competition for resources, and predator prey relationships.

29. What is the Concept of Definition Map Ecosystem Category What is it? Properties How would you describe it? Comparison What is it similar to? Illustrations What are some examples?

30. How do we describe a population? Population size is the total # of organisms. Population distribution is how the organisms are spaced in their environment. NO COUNTING…it’s a pattern. Population density is the # if organisms in a particular area at a given time. Regions with the highest population size do not necessarily have the highest population density, since land area is an important variable in calculating population densities – China had a population in 2004 of 1,300,100,000 with a density of 136 people/square kilometer – Japan had a population of 127,600,000 with a density of 338 people/square kilometer

31. Density/Distribution POGIL Pg. 22 Color does not matter. You are doing this as a table group and turning in one paper with everyone’s name on it. Copy the instructions on Pg. 22. Jobs: – Organizer–Reads the directions to the group and makes sure everyone knows their jobs and all sections are completed. – Communicator– only person allowed to communicate with other groups and ask questions of the teacher. – Timer—makes sure each part is done on time. – Calculator– does any math necessary and runs the calculator. – Recorder—decides how to record the answers on the sheet…should be the only handwriting on the paper.

34. Get out your Spiral notebook Your notebooks are still being double checked by me and yes I am slow. At 44 I move a lot more slowly. You were instructed to have a 3 ring notebook and 150 – 200 sheets of notebook paper we will be using that today. We are going to do a couple of activities and a few notes all in the ring notebook. Be sure to keep all activities bound in your 3 ring notebook.

35. In: Pg 21 How Populations are Described Size-the total # of individuals Density-average # of individuals per unit of area Distribution-how the individuals are spread through the environment

38. How do we describe a population? Population size is the total # of organisms. Population distribution is how the organisms are spaced in their environment. NO COUNTING…it’s a pattern. Population density is the # if organisms in a particular area at a given time. Regions with the highest population size do not necessarily have the highest population density, since land area is an important variable in calculating population densities – China had a population in 2004 of 1,300,100,000 with a density of 136 people/square kilometer – Japan had a population of 127,600,000 with a density of 338 people/square kilometer

39. Write out these questions on a piece of paper from your 3 ring notebook. Population Projections Intro Questions 1.A rate is… 2.Growth rate is… 3.A population that is increasing has a_____ growth rate. 4.A population that is decreasing has a __ growth rate. 5.The 4 things that affect growth rate are… 6.________ is the movement of organisms into a population and _______ is the movement out.

40. Rates Rate is a measure of an event during a specific amount of time – Speed measures distance/time – Birth/death rates are calculated in occurrences per 1000 usually during a year #births = birth rate x pop 1 #births = 10 babies x 50,000 people = 500 babies 1000 people born

41. Populations Populations are all of the individuals of a species in an area or region.

42. Population growth rates A population growth rate describes how a population changes over time. Any population that increases in size is said to have a positive growth rate. A decreasing population has a negative growth rate. A population that remains the same size has a zero growth rate. What are the variables that determine a populations growth rate? The growth of populations is regulated by 4 different factors: birth rate, death rate and the movement of individual into(immigration) and out of the population(emigration).

43. Calculating growth rates Population =Final pop. in year 10- Initial pop. in year 1 Growth rateInitial pop. in year 1 Remember If the population is increasing, it has a + number for its growth rate. Initial pop.=5000 Final pop.=15000 Growth rate =15000-5000=10000= 2 5000 5000 If the population is decreasing, it has a - number for its growth rate. Initial pop.=6000 Final pop.=2000 Growth rate =2000-6000= -4000= -.67 6000 6000

44. The slope of a line tells you a population’s growth rate Years # Of Indiv. + 0 __

45. Carrying capacity = the number of organisms a particular habitat can sustain Exponential growth Logistic growth Carrying capacity Time # of individuals

46. Population Dynamics: The study of the change in a population over time. Demography: The study of human populations. Population doubling time: the # of years it will take for a populations current population size to double
