Global Food issues Food security and food insecurity Security= most or all people have access to nutritious food and live active, healthy lives Insecurity= people live with chronic hunger and poor nutrition - could be the result of poverty, wars, political upheaval, corruption and/or bad weather-global climate change Types of nutrients Macronutrients- nutrients we need in large amounts--- proteins carbohydrates lipids Micronutrients- nutrients we need in smaller amounts vitamins, A, iron, iodine Deficencies Malnutrition/ Undernutrition Kwashirokor- deficient in protein in otherwise adequate diet. Diet are usually high in carbs signs- ?flag of red hair?, swollen bellies, unresponsive Marasmus- deficient in both protein and calories

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

APES Mathematics Review The APES Examination will require you to do mathematical calculations. Occasionally these calculations may be somewhat esoteric, and you may find it possible to do them in your head; nonetheless, it is mandatory to show all work for all calculations on the free-response section of the APES exam. This worksheet is designed help to prepare you for the type of calculations you may encounter on this year?s APES exam. Use a separate piece of paper, and for each problem, show every step of your work, and indicate the cancellation of all units?No Calculators!! Scientific Notation?All APES students should be able to work comfortably with numbers in scientific notation. ? Place the following numbers into scientific notation. 1. one billion

Such mutations made them more practical as?foodstuffs butunable to survive in the wild. Chapter 2 ? Proto-farmers actually worked much harder than hunter-gatherers got provide enough food, and many even sufferedfrom malnutrition. ? The average height also fell?in farming communities. ? However, to the proto-farmers, the slow?shift from huntingand gathering to agriculture seemed?logical. ? Hunter-gatherers had been planting small crops incertain frequented areas to ensure sufficient supply. ?
