Ecology Study Guide Notes Chapter 50: Intro to Ecology The Scope -3 main questions: Where do they live? Why do they live where they do? How many are there? -Ecology helps reveal the richness of the biosphere and helps humans understand how to protect that diversity and richness which is now under attack. 50.1 Ecology is the study between organisms and the environment - Naturalists began studying organisms in their environment. Humans have also had need to know about organisms for hunting and gathering. - Ecology is very much an experimental science (field experiments). The difficulty to provide consistent results has resulted in many innovations regarding experimental science. Ecology and Evolution

Primary productivity aka BIOMASS B/c some ecosystems are better at converting solar energy then others, we calc PP to indicate how efficient a partic ecosys is @ convert solar energy *Expressed as a Biomass/Rate-- The dry mass of vegetation produced per unit time (g/m2/yr) Aka BIOMASS The amt of light energy converted to chemical energy in a given amt of time Gross (Total) Primary Productivity (GPP) Not all of all the chemical energy produced is available to be passed on to primary consumers Autotrophs (primary producers) use some of energy themselves for cellular respiration Total primary productivity of an autroph Total amt of energy fixed by plants Net primary productivity (NPP) [GPP] ? [Energy Used by Autotrophs] = [NPP] Expressed as biomass per square meter/yr

Cycles of Life: EXPLORING BIOLOGY Module 1: Biological Concepts Segment 1: The Unity and Diversity of Life Objectives: 1. List and describe major characteristics of living things that distinguish them from non-living matter. 2. Describe the general pattern of energy flow through the earth?s life forms, and explain how their interactions help cycle the earth?s resources. 3. Explain what is meant by the term unity, and identify possible causes of similarities between earth?s organisms. 4. Explain what is meant by the term diversity, and identify possible causes for the great diversity of life forms on earth. Video Synopsis: Beginning with the features that distinguish living matter from non-living matter, this segment provides

ECOSYSTEMS: COMPONENTS, ENERGY FLOW & MATTER CYCLING CHAPTER 4 ECOLOGY Study of the relationships between organisms and their environment How organisms interact with their nonliving environment such as sunlight, temperature, moisture, nutrients, etc. KEY WORK IS: INTERACT - Connections in Nature What is an organism? What make up organisms? Organisms are either: EUCARYOTIC - SURROUNDED BY A MEMBRANE HAVE A DISTINCT NUCLEUS HAVE INTERNAL ORGANELLES All organisms except bacteria. PROCARYOTIC - SURROUNDED BY A MEMBRANE NO DISTINCT NUCLEUS NO INTERNAL PARTS SURROUNDED BY MEMBRANES Bacteria What is a SPECIES? How do species differ? What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? Number of species on earth is not known 5 million to 100 million maybe

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 1 Introduction: Themes in the Study of Life This introductory chapter explores the basic themes and concepts of biology, with emphasis on the core theme of evolution. It also introduces students to the thinking of scientists. Questions are therefore general; however, an effort has been made to include some from each skill level. As in the rest of this test bank, questions that feature art or those for which several questions follow upon some data or a scenario are placed together at the end of the chapter. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) A localized group of organisms that belong to the same species is called a A) biosystem. B) community. C) population. D) ecosystem. E) family. Answer: C Topic: Concept 1.1

Produces convert CO2 into sugars Sugars are converted back into CO2 Some carbon can be buried Human extraction of fossil fuels brings carbon to Earth?s surface, where it can be combusted C02 in the atmosphere and CO2 dissolved in water are constantly exchanged Combustion converts fossil fuels and plant material into CO2 Nitrogen cycle
