Ecosystems
• An ecosystem is a community of organisms interacting with one another and their environment.
• An ecosystem includes all biotic and abiotic factors.– Biotic Factors – All living things
• Plants, animals, fungi and bacteria
– Abiotic Factors – All nonliving things• Water, land, light, temperature and soil composition.

Habitat
A habitat is a place where an organism lives.

Population
A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in a certain area.

Community
A community is all of the populations that live and interact with each other in an area.

Niche
A niche is the role of an organism
within it’s community.
Includes what it eats, when it eats
and where it lives.
Coral, plankton, fish

Food Chain
A food chain shows how the
energy in food is passed from organism to
organism in an ecosystem.

Food Web
A food web is a combination of
all the overlapping
food chains in an ecosystem.

Producers
• Producers are organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis.
• Examples – plants, algae and plankton
![Page 13: Food Webs Within Ecosystems Marine, Freshwater, and Terrestrial FOOD WEBS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1d13/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Consumers
• Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms to obtain food for energy.
![Page 14: Food Webs Within Ecosystems Marine, Freshwater, and Terrestrial FOOD WEBS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1d13/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There are 3 Types of Consumers
• Herbivores – Animals that only eat plants
• Omnivores – Animals that eat plants and other animals
• Carnivores – Animals that only eat other animals (meat)

• Primary Consumer
• Secondary Consumer
• Tertiary Consumer

Predator/Prey Relationships
• Predator – Organism that eats another organism
• Prey – Organism that is eaten by the predator
![Page 17: Food Webs Within Ecosystems Marine, Freshwater, and Terrestrial FOOD WEBS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1d13/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Parasite/Host Relationships
• Parasite – organism that feeds off other living creatures – Fleas, Ticks, Worms, Lice, etc.
• Host – organism on which the parasite is feeding. Always bad for host!

Decomposers
• A decomposer is an organism that gets their energy by breaking down dead organisms.
