Biotic VS. Abiotic • The living parts of an ecosystem are called BIOTICfactors • Examples: 6 Kingdoms,trees, plants, flowers, insects, animals
Biotic VS. Abiotic The non-living things in an ecosystem are called ABIOTIC factors Examples : water, rocks, soil, air, temperature, wind, carbon dioxide, nutrients, sunlight.
Alive? • To be considered living, an organism must… • Contain all 7 characteristics of life • DNA • Reproduce • Use energy • Adapt • Respond to Stimuli • Made of cells • Grow and Develop
Animal Kingdom * Food – Cannot make their own food. * Multi-cellular organisms Reproduction – Asexual and sexual Examples – Humans, crustaceans, spiders, insects, fish, birds, mammals, sponges, hydras, coral, worms, etc.
Examples of Animals Sea horse Sea anemone butterfly Great White Shark Poison Dart frog hydra human
Plant Kingdom * Food – make their own food by photosynthesis. *Multi-cellular Reproduction – Sexually and asexually Examples – rose, cactus, grass, daisy, ferns, trees
Kingdom Fungi * Food – do not make their own food. Decomposers * Unicellular and multicellular. Reproduction – Sexual and Asexual Examples – yeast, mushrooms, mold, mildew, athletes foot, ringworm
Examples of Fungi Athletes Foot Bread mold mushroom yeast Bread mold magnified ringworm Foot Fungus
Kingdom Protists * Food – Some make their own food (plantlike); others cannot (animal-like). * Unicellular and Multi-cellular Reproduction – Asexual & Sexual Examples – Euglena, paramecium, amoeba, slime mold, volvox, algae,diatoms, giant kelp
Examples of Protists Paramecium Algae Amoeba Volvox Stentor Euglena Red algae
KINGDOM EUBACTERIA *Food – Some can make their own food: other cannot. * Unicellular organisms. Reproduction – asexual Roles: decomposers, food makers, help digest food, clean oil spills, makes nitrogen rich soil(helps plants grow), etc.
Examples of Eubacteria Anthrax Staph Bacteria help digest food Strep E. Coli Blue green algae
Kingdom Archaebacteria This hot, sulfur-rich, acidic pool in Yellowstone National Park is home to species of Archea, including Sulfolobus. Some archaens live 1000’s of miles deep in the ocean near superheated volcanic vents.
KINGDOM ARCHAEBACTERIA * Food- Some cannot make their own food; others do. * Unicellular organisms Reproduction – asexual Three main types – salt loving, heat loving, and methane makers, harsh environments
Let’s Practice Which kingdom does each organism belong? Eubacteria Animal Protists protists plant Fungus Eubacteria Animal Archaebacteria Fungus animal
ABIOTIC FACTORS • Sunlight • Plants need the sunlight to make glucose by photosynthesis. • Without plants, the food chain dies. • Sunlight produces heat that changes the temperature of the Earths atmosphere and surface.
ABIOTIC FACTORS • Water • Organisms are mostly made of water. The cytoplasm of cells are mostly water. • Plants need water to do photosynthesis.
ABIOTIC FACTORS Climate Includes the average temperature and rainfall for a region. All organisms are adapted for the climate they live. Climate determines the different biomes.
ABIOTIC FACTORS • Soil • Plants need the soil for the • nutrients and water it provides. NOT FOOD!!!. • Many animals live in the soil. • The type of soil in an area determines the types of plants and animals that can live in the area. • EX: Venus Flytraps
ABIOTIC FACTORS Severe Disturbances 1. Fire – Fire can be good or bad. It destroys habitat and food. Some plants need a fire for their seeds to germinate. 2.Hurricanes 3. Volcanoes 4. Floods 5. Storms 6. Droughts
ABIOTIC FACTORS • Introduced Species • Humans sometimes move organisms to a location where they do not belong. Sometimes they die, but often they prosper. • If the organism has no predators, then its population will grow. An example of this occurring this the kudzu plant. It was transplanted to American and nothing eats it here. So, it grows out of • control.
