  2. ORGANIC vs. INORGANIC • Organic compounds – always contain carbon and hydrogen together • Found in living things, their waste, and remains • Examples : carbohydrates (sugars, starches), lipids (fats & waxes), proteins, nucleic acids (DNA & RNA). • Inorganic compounds – do not contain carbon and hydrogen together • Examples: water, carbon dioxide

  3. Tuesday 4/29/2014 Announcements: Homework/Class Assignments!! Due Today: Organic vs. Inorganic Worksheet • AGENDA: Ecology Unit • Notes: Species Interactions and relationships • Activity: • Pyramid Design due 4/30-5/1/2014 for 20 Points

  4. SPECIES INTERACTIONS • Predator: captures, kills and consumes another organism. • Prey: organism that is captured, killed and consumed

  5. How can a prey prevent from getting captured?

  8. Wednesday/Thursday 4/30-5/1/2014 Announcements: Homework/Class Assignments!! Plants and Animals Compete for Resources Reading Assignment due Today for 35 Points Due today: Pyramid Design • Agenda: Ecology • Notes: Species Relationships • Activity: Competition Reading Assignment

  9. Species Relationships • Symbiosis: 2 or more species live together in a close long-term relationship. • Examples: • Parasitism- one species feeds on the other species known as a host. • Ectoparasites- only exist on the outside of the host’s body • Endoparasites- live inside the host’s body usually causing disease.

  10. Parasites

  11. Symbiotic Relationships Parasitism- one species benefits (parasite) and the other is harmed (host) • Parasite-Host relationship

  12. Symbiotic Relationships Parasitism- parasite-host Ex. lampreys, leeches, fleas, ticks, tapeworm

  13. Mutualism • Cooperative relationship which both species benefit and neither harmed.

  14. Commensalism • One species benefits and the other is not affected

  15. Friday 5/2/2014 Announcements: Homework/Class Assignments!! • HAPPY FRIDAY!!! • AGENDA: Parasites • Activity: Create your own parasite • Create your own parasite due Monday 5/5/2014 for 25 Points

  16. Create your own Parasite! Using your notes about parasites, you are to create your own using the following guidelines: Come up with a name for your parasite Describe the physical features of your parasite (needs at least 8) Describe the functions of your parasite? What does it do? 4. Describe the host the your parasite lives on and what nutrients or components it utilizes from your host. 5. Can your parasite infect humans? If yes, how so? 6.
