Organism•Any living thing

Ecosystem•Community of organisms (living things) that live in a certain area

Biotic Surroundings
•Living Surroundings
•Other animals and plant life

Energy Roles
• Each organism in an ecosystem fills a role
![Page 9: Ecology The study of the interactions of organisms with one another and their surroundings.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649cd65503460f9499d00b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Three Roles
1.Producer2.Consumer3.Decomposer

Producers•Plants•Chlorophyll (Green)
•Photosynthesis

Consumers
•Feed on other organisms
![Page 12: Ecology The study of the interactions of organisms with one another and their surroundings.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649cd65503460f9499d00b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
•Herbivores – Eat Plants
•Carnivores – Eat Animals
![Page 13: Ecology The study of the interactions of organisms with one another and their surroundings.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649cd65503460f9499d00b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
•Omnivores – Eat both Plants and Animals
![Page 14: Ecology The study of the interactions of organisms with one another and their surroundings.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649cd65503460f9499d00b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Decomposers•Found in the Dirt
•Break Down dead material

Energy Pyramids
•Shows the amount of energy that moves from one level to the next
![Page 18: Ecology The study of the interactions of organisms with one another and their surroundings.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649cd65503460f9499d00b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
•The most energy is available at the bottom (producer level), and has less energy as you move up
![Page 19: Ecology The study of the interactions of organisms with one another and their surroundings.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649cd65503460f9499d00b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
General Rule….•Only 10 PERCENT of the energy is transferred to the next level.
![Page 20: Ecology The study of the interactions of organisms with one another and their surroundings.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649cd65503460f9499d00b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why?•90 % of the energy has already been used by the organism in order to survive. (Grow, breed)

Predator - Prey Interactions• Interpreting Data:
– How did the moose population change between 1965 and 1972? What happened to the wolf population from 1973 through 1976?
–The moose population increased and then decreased; the wolf population increased.

Predator - Prey Interactions• Inferring:
– How might the change in the moose population have led to the change in the wolf population?
–As the moose population increased, more food was available to the wolf population and it increased.

Predator - Prey Interactions• Drawing Conclusions:
– What is one likely cause of the dip in the moose population between 1974 and 1981?
–The wolf population increased.

Predator - Prey Interactions• Predicting:
– How might a disease in the wolf population one year affect the moose population the next year?
–Disease would cause a decrease in the wolf population, so fewer moose would be eaten and the population could increase.
