(Remember: 6CO2 + 6H2O 6O2 + C6H12O6) E. Chemosynthesis—performed by bacteria, use chemical
energy to produce carbohydrates

B. Also called heterotrophs

Herbivores—obtain energy by ea/ng only plants
Carnivores—eat only animals
![Page 8: Ecology—the+scien/fic+study+of+shoemaker7science.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665405/_ecology… · Producers A.+Sunlight+is+the+mainenergysourceforlifeon earth+ + + + B.

Omnivores—eat both plants and animals
Decomposers—breaks down dead organic maRer
![Page 9: Ecology—the+scien/fic+study+of+shoemaker7science.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665405/_ecology… · Producers A.+Sunlight+is+the+mainenergysourceforlifeon earth+ + + + B.

Niche—the ecological niche involves both the place where an organism lives and the roles that an organism has in its habitat.
Example: The ecological niche of a sunflower growing in the backyard includes absorbing light, water and nutrients (for photosynthesis), providing shelter and food for other organisms (e.g. bees, ants, etc.), and giving off oxygen into the atmosphere.
![Page 10: Ecology—the+scien/fic+study+of+shoemaker7science.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665405/_ecology… · Producers A.+Sunlight+is+the+mainenergysourceforlifeon earth+ + + + B.

The ecological niche of an organism depends not only on where it lives but also on what it does. By analogy, it may be said that the habitat is the organism’s “address”, and the niche is its “profession”, biologically speaking.
Worm’s Niche “Address”—Soil, Ground, etc.
“Profession”– Mix-‐up soil

Feeding Interac/ons Energy flows through an ecosystem in one direc(on from
the sun or inorganic compounds to autotrophs (producers) and then to heterotrophs (consumers)
![Page 12: Ecology—the+scien/fic+study+of+shoemaker7science.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665405/_ecology… · Producers A.+Sunlight+is+the+mainenergysourceforlifeon earth+ + + + B.

Food Chain—series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by ea/ng and being eaten
• Arrows go in the direc(on of how energy is transferred
• Start with producer and end with top consumer or carnivore
Ex: grass cricket frog raccoon
![Page 13: Ecology—the+scien/fic+study+of+shoemaker7science.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665405/_ecology… · Producers A.+Sunlight+is+the+mainenergysourceforlifeon earth+ + + + B.

Trophic Levels—each step in a food chain or food web Level 1—Producers (autotrophs)
Level 2—Primary Consumers (herbivores)
Level 3—Secondary Consumers
(carnivores or omnivores) Level 4—Ter(ary Consumers
(carnivore—usually top carnivore)

Energy Pyramid shows rela/ve amount of energy available at each trophic level Organisms in a trophic level use the available energy for life processes (such as growth, photosynthesis, cellular respira/on, metabolism, etc.) and release some energy as heat
Remember: Every chemical process that happens in your body releases heat as a byproduct (ex: burning calories).
![Page 17: Ecology—the+scien/fic+study+of+shoemaker7science.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665405/_ecology… · Producers A.+Sunlight+is+the+mainenergysourceforlifeon earth+ + + + B.

Pyramid of Numbers-‐ number of individuals in each popula/on in a food chain.
Biomass Pyramid—represents the amount of living , organic maMer at each trophic level

Rule of 10—only about 10% of the available energy within a trophic level is transferred to the next higher trophic level

Symbiosis—any rela/onship in which two species live closely together (3 Types)
1. Mutualism—both species benefit (WIN-‐WIN) Ex: insects and flowers
Can you think of any other examples that we’ve talked about in class?

2. Commensalism—one member of the associa/on benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. (WIN-‐0) Example: barnacles on a whale
![Page 23: Ecology—the+scien/fic+study+of+shoemaker7science.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/6/12665405/_ecology… · Producers A.+Sunlight+is+the+mainenergysourceforlifeon earth+ + + + B.

Ecological Interac/ons between organisms Compe((on—when two organisms of the same or different species aRempt to use an ecological resource in the same place at the same /me.
Ex: food, water, shelter

Un/l Americans introduced gray squirrels into parts of England in the early 20th century, red squirrels had been the only species of squirrel in the country. The gray squirrels were larger and bred faster and successfully competed for resources. Within a couple years of overlap in an area, the red squirrels disappeared.
