Biology 4B:Ecology Week 2 Ms. Darlak
Warm-up 04/26 • If the plants started out with 87,000 energy units, how much energy is in this level? • What are all the possible labels for this organism? Quadrinary Consumer, Heterotroph, Carnivore 870 8,700 87,000
Agenda 04/26 • Food Web Wrap • Ecosystem Inputs • Water Cycle • Quiz 4B Tomorrow!
Food Webs • Last Touch: • Add humans on your Food Web.
FOOD WEB p.3Biotic = Density DependentAbiotic = Density Independent An invasive insect species that likes to eat the bark off a number of plants has been introduced to the Forest. BIOTIC (DD)- the original number of insects and the original number of trees will cause different results
The Mad Cow virus that has been found in Elk now has been discovered in deer too. Biotic = Density Dependent Abiotic = Density Independent BIOTIC (DD)- the original number of Elk and the original number of deer will cause different results
Perfect weather and climate conditions has created a bumper seed year where plants can produce up to 50% more seeds than they have in past years. Biotic = Density Dependent Abiotic = Density Independent ABIOTIC (DI)- the original number of trees does not effect the outcome
Oregon Department Fish Wildlife starts a campaign to remove bobcats from the state. Bounties of $100 will be rewarded for bobcat tails and no hunting license and tags are required. Biotic = Density Dependent Abiotic = Density Independent BIOTIC (DD)- the original number of Bobcats will effect the results
New utility poles are scheduled to go up all around the state replacing old ones that were found to cause problems to birds of prey such as hawks. The new poles will have perches and new design makes it safe for Hawks and other birds of prey to use them for perching and nesting on. Biotic = Density Dependent Abiotic = Density Independent ABIOTIC (DI) the original number of hawks does not effect the outcome

The Water Cycle
Water is all around us. It is in our bodies. It is in our homes. We have rivers, lakes andoceans. We have wet weather.
Water is a liquid but it can change into other things. It can freezeand become ice. It can heat upand become steam. Water changes as it is warmed up and changes again when it cools down.
The sun is warming the surface of the water. When a cloud gets full it begins to rain. This is called precipitation. The water vapour cools down and forms clouds. This is condensation. This is called The Water Cycle Water is a liquid. As the water gets warmer it changes and begins to evaporate. The warm water changes into a gas called water vapourand rises up. Water Evaporation
Condensation Precipitation Evaporation
Let’s recap….. The water warms up and begins to evaporate. Water vapourrises. When the vapour cools down it causes condensation. Rain begins to fall. This is called precipitation.
More Vocabulary • Transpiration- evaporation on trees • Percolation- water moves through soil • Sublimate- solid to gas
Warm-up 04/23 Using this food web: What are the producers? What are the consumers? What are the herbivores? What are the carnivores?
Agenda 04/23 • Food Web Review • Finish Predator Food Webs • Homework: Read and Complete pps. 5-7
Food Web p. 3 Requirements: • Must use all of the organisms on the cards from the Predator game. • Arrows connecting the organisms should follow flow of energy, example, plant to elk. • Posters should be neat and easy to follow • Use name of the animal and a quick sketch. • Put your name on the back of the paper • Card List: bobcat, raccoon, death & decay, squirrel, snake, shrew, hawk, owl, plant-eating insects, preying insects, frogs & toads, spider, millipede, centipede, bird on ground, bird on twig, bird on leaf, bird on truck, turtle, opossum, earthworm, mole, mice, ferns, buds & twigs, grass, fungi, bark, fruit, leaves, nuts, herbs, seed, skunk, bear, rabbit, porcupine, deer, fox.
Warm-up 04/24 • Write all the possible ecological names for the 5 following organisms. 1 2 3 4 5 Primary Consumer Heterotroph Herbivore or Omnivore 2nd Tropic Level Secondary Consumer Heterotroph Carnivore or Omnivore 3rd Tropic Level Tertiary Consumer Heterotroph Carnivore or Omnivore 4th Tropic Level Quadrinary Consumer Heterotroph DECOMPOSER 5th Tropic Level Producer Autotroph 1st Tropic Level
Agenda 04/24 • Homework Check pps. 5-7 • TrophicLevels and Energy Pyramids p. 8-9 • Poster Time
What are trophic levels and energy pyramid? An energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a community through different groups of organisms that might compose a food chain. From the bottom-up, they are as follows: Producers— bring energy from nonliving sources into the community Primary consumers — eat the producers, which makes them herbivores or omnivores Secondary consumers — eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivores or omnivores Tertiary consumers — eat the secondary consumers In some food chains, there can be a fourth consumer level, and rarely, a fifth.
sun Food chains Level 4 Tertiary consumer top carnivore Level 3 • Trophic levels • feeding relationships • start with energy from the sun • captured byplants • 1st level of all food chains • food chains usually go up only 4 or 5 levels • all levels connect to decomposers Secondary consumer carnivore Level 2 Primary consumer heterotrophs herbivore Level 1 Producer autotrophs Fungi Decomposers Bacteria
Fifth Trophic Level Forth Trophic Level Third Trophic Level Second Trophic Level First Trophic Level
loss of energy loss of energy Energy flows through ecosystems sun secondary consumers (carnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) producers (plants)
sun energy lost todaily living energy lost todaily living Inefficiency of energy transfer • Loss of energy between levels of food chain • To where is the energy lost? The cost of living! 17% growth only this energymoves on to the next level in the food chain 33% cellular respiration 50% waste (feces)

Energy Pyramid p.9 Label the following: • Each Trophic Level (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) • Where each of these belong: • Producers • Primary Consumers • Secondary Consumers • Tertiary Consumers • Where would you find these: • Autotrophs, heterotrophs, herbivores, carrnivores, omnivores.
