Overview: They?re (Almost) Everywhere! ? Prokaryotes were the earliest organisms on Earth. ? Today, they still dominate the biosphere. ? Their collective biomass outweighs all eukaryotes combined at least tenfold. ? More prokaryotes inhabit a handful of fertile soil or the mouth or skin of a human than the total number of people who have ever lived. ? Prokaryotes are wherever there is life. ? They thrive in habitats that are too cold, too hot, too salty, too acidic, or too alkaline for any eukaryote. ? Prokaryotes have even been discovered in rocks two miles below the surface of the Earth. ? Why have these organisms dominated the biosphere since the origin of life on Earth? ? Prokaryotes display diverse adaptations that allow them to inhabit many environments.

Bio 112 April 29th, 2013 More on Ecosystems Food webs -Is a branching food chain with complex trophic interactions -Including decomposes (detritevors) Energy Flow through Ecosystems -from one trophic level to the next. Primary production - are photoautotrophs, capturing energy from the sun. Energy flows from these guys through all other levels. Of course some energy will be lost at each level. -light energy converted to chemical energy by autorophs during a given time period. -Gross primary production is the total primary production. -Net primary production is GPP minus energy used by producers (respiration)-only this is available to consumers. NPP is more important then GPP. Secondary production

Bio 112, April 26 2013 Transition for competition to other aspects with in populations. EVOLUTIONARY RACE TO ARMS!!!!

Stay in the same positions in the food chain. -Plant- Herbivore Interactions -Passive defenses -Chemical defenses that plants have in place all the time. Toxic!!! bad taste. -Lower population, be a rare species. -be habitat colonizers, rapid growth and re-populate new areas only. -Physical defenses, such as thorns.
