8 UNIT OBJECTIVES 1- --EXPLAIN why ecology is important 2- --COMPARE & CONTRAST abiotic factors with biotic factors IDENTIFY/DESCRIBE the 5 different levels of organization in ecology 4- --COMPARE and give examples of an organism's habitat / niche 5- --GENERALIZE how organisms cooperate and compete in complex, interdependent relationships -EXPLAIN how this affects their growth and reproduction. Add on to each QUESTION every night as REVIEW!

9 2.1 ORGANISMS / RELATIONSHIPS WHAT YOU WILL LEARN -difference between biotic & abiotic factors -levels of biological organization -difference btwn an organism s habitat & niche INTRO VIDEO SHOUT OUT Essential Question

10 LIST: 3 ways ecologists study interactions between organisms observations -experiments -creating models

11 -2 5 DEFINE: -the biosphere -portion of earth that supports life -includes air, land, water PROVIDE: -an analogy for the biosphere

12 EVALUATE: Describe the abiotic factors in the environment where you currently live -temperature range -rainfall -sunlight -humidity -soil types -water sources

13 GENERALIZE: -How do the levels of organization become more complex? -more organisms are added at each level

14 -5 13 IDENTIFY: -Which of the following is a population? -ALL rabbits living on earth -ALL white-tailed rabbits living in a meadow today -ALL white-tailed rabbits that have ever lived in a meadow -organisms of single species -share same geographic location -same time

15 DRAW CONCLUSIONS: If a population is growing, what can you conclude about the amount of resources available to the organisms? -sufficient resources are available to all members of the population

16 DO-NOW PROVIDE examples of a termite s habitat / niche DEFINE habitat -area -organism -lives -TUNNELS within wood DEFINE niche -role -position -in environment -WORKERS -search food -build tunnels -feed other termites -soldiers [defend] -queen [reproduce] -winged [start new colonies]

17 EXPLAIN: -the difference between a habitat and a niche -habitat is the PLACE an organism lives in -a niche is the ROLE the organism plays in its ecosystem

18 CLASSIFY: List 2 or more examples of predation that you have seen or of which you have learned Predation influences the fitness of both predators and prey. Individuals must both feed and avoid being eaten to survive and reproduce. Genetically-determined traits that improve an organism s ability to survive and reproduce will be passed on to its offspring. Traits associated with improved predation for predators and escaping predation for prey tend to be positively selected by natural selection.

19 APPLY: -9 -Clown fish live among sea anemones. The amenones provide protection for the clown fish. The clown fish eats food missed by the sea anenomes. What term best describes this relationship? -commensalism NEW DATA- mutualism - wiggle dance 26-27
