  1. By: AshLynnCowles Geo ScienceChapter 12 Physical Environment and Introduction to Physical Geography

  2. OBJECTIVE 1 • Compare and contrast ecology and biogeography • Define ecology and biogeography • Biogeography – the study of geographical distribution of living things • Ecology – branch of biology dealing with relations between organisms and their environment and other organisms

  3. OBJECTIVE 2 • Describe habitat and niche and how they relate to one another. • Define habitat and niche • Compare and contrast them • Habitat- natural environment of an organism, a place that is natural for the life and growth of an organism. • Niche - position or function of an organism in a community of plants and animals

  4. OBJECTIVE 3 • Explain how habitats are occupied by plants and animals. • describe how plants and animals make up a habitat. • Any source of food, water, and living things make up a habitat • Ex: Oceans, Forests, Deserts, Tundra, and Wet lands

  5. OBJECTIVE 4 • Describe the processes of photosynthesis, transpiration, and respiration. • Define photosynthesis, transpiration, and respiration • Explain how all of their processes begin and end • Photosynthesis: The process of converting solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide, into carbohydrates and oxygen

  6. Obj 4 (cont) • Transpiration: the loss of water from plants, acts to cool the plant by releasing latent energy • Respiration: the process of “burning” stored chemical energy basically through oxidation for maintaining plant metabolism
