1. Explain various relationships with respect to food chains, food
webs, and food pyramids, including:
producer
consumer (herbivore, carnivore, omnivore)
predation (predator‐prey cycle)
decomposers
symbiosis (mutualism, commensalism, parasitism)
2. Describe the relationships between abiotic and biotic elements within
an ecosystem, including air, water, soil, light, temperature (abiotic)
and bacteria, plants, animals (biotic)
3. Design and analyse experiments on the effects of altering biotic or
abiotic factors (e.g., nutrients in soil: compare two plant types with
the same nutrients, compare one plant type with different nutrients)

By studying past and present ecosystems, we can better understand what may happen in the future. Historical ecology is the
study of natural and written materials to better understand the ecology of a certain area.
Many First Nations sources provide detailed knowledge of plants, animals, and natural occurrences of an area.
![Page 5: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
An ecosystem is made up of many parts. Abiotic (non-living)
factors include air, water, soil, nutrients, and light.
Biotic (living) factors include plants, animals, and micro-organisms.
Ecosystems can take up many hectares of land or can be small, such as a tide pool or a rotting log.
A habitat is where an organism lives.
The habitat of the red fox often includes the edges of
forests or marshlands.

HABITATS
![Page 8: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
There are all sorts of different
‘habitats’ that different species
occupy:
The Blind Flatworm
& the eyeless shrimp
Live in dark caves. They are
called “troglobites” (cave-
dwellers). They have adapted to
darkness - do not require eyes...

White-Spotted Puffer Fish
Lives in coral reefs (in tropical waters)
Second most poisonous vertebrate in the world...
It’s muscles, skin, liver and ovaries contain toxin 3x deadlier than cyanide.

The Rattle SnakeOccupies different habitats depending on the
time of year...
Open grassland (areas with high rodent
density)
Hibernating dens (rock fissures or caves)

The abiotic components are what allow the biotic components to survive in an ecosystem Abiotic factors include oxygen, water,
nutrients, light and soil. Oxygen is produced by the green
plants and certain micro-organisms and is used by animals and most other micro-organisms.
An example of a micro-organism thatproduces oxygen is cyanobacteria. They are found in oceans, rivers, bare rocks, and soil. “Blue-green algae”
![Page 13: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Water is necessary for all life.
Nutrients often enter the food chain with plants and are very important for growth.
Light is required for photosynthesis, which is the process in plants that converts and stores the Sun’s energy into starches and sugars.
Soil not only contains water and nutrients
but also is home to many plants and animals.
Earthworms in soil

A community = all the organisms that interact within an ecosystem.
A species refers to all of the organisms within an ecosystem that have the same structure and that can reproduce with each other.
A population refers to all of the members of a certain species within an ecosystem.
![Page 15: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Symbiotic relationships are the interactions between members of two different species that live together in a close association. Commensalism – one species benefits, one is
not affected Example: the barnacles on a whale
Mutualism – both species benefit Example: a bee gathering nectar from a flower
Parasitism – one species benefits, the other is harmed Example: hookworm living in dogs

COMMENSALISM(Biological hitch-hiking)
The Imperial shrimp hitches a rideon a large sea cucumber. It ridesalong through areas of potential food, at no cost to the other organism.
Anyone home?The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that livesinside a seacumber in the day and at night, exits through the anus of the seacumber to feed.

MUTALISM
Leaf Cutter AntsThese ants
cultivate (grow) a fungus. They
feed the fungus and the fungus serves as their
food!
Cut the leaf..
Chew into a pulp
Store the pulp with ant feces
and fungus spores
Fungus begins to grow...

MUTALISM
LICHEN = algae + fungus
The algae
provides food
(glucose) for
the fungus
through
photosynthesis.

PARASITISM
HOOK WORMS
The common way for hook worms to enter is through the skin (walking barefoot)...
A parasitic worm that lives inside the
intestines of its host (mammal). These
worms such blood from the host’s intestinal walls ...this leads to
anemia (iron deficiency).

PARASITISM
The Pine Beetle
The pine beetle has infested lodgepole pine trees in BC’s Central Interior.
Burrows in the tree, feeds on trees phloem
(nutrients) and lays its eggs.
![Page 24: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Pine Beetle’s Legacy....
In B.C., the provincial government estimates the beetle's spread will have economic implications for 30 communities and will impact 25,000 families whose livelihood depends on the pulp and paper industry.
The environment is also affected: trees normally capture CO2 (greenhouse gas) – but the death of more trees has instead released carbon into the atmosphere, according to a study published in April 2008 in the journal Nature.

A niche refers to the role an organism has within an
ecosystem, physically, chemically and biologically.
Within the niche, an organism interacts with other
individuals of the same species or with individuals of
other species
![Page 26: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Competition occurs when a resource is
needed by two or more individuals.
Competition usually means resources are limited.
This limits the size and health of that individual
and perhaps that population.
Examples of resources that organisms compete over
include food, water, and mates
![Page 27: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Predation is the relationship between the“eaters” and the “eaten”.Predators have adaptations to help them
catch their prey.Prey have adaptations to help avoid
predators.Examples of adaptations include spines and shells,
camouflage and mimicry.
The numbers of predators and prey influence each other.

Biodiversity refers to the variety and number of
different individuals and species in an ecosystem.
Healthy ecosystems generally have high biodiversity.
Most biodiversity losses occur from the loss of habitat.
![Page 31: Ecosystems - Okanagan Mission Secondarygandha.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/13367253/science_10... · 2019. 9. 2. · The pearlfish is a small fish (5-10cm) that lives inside a seacumber](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060819/60984c1b1174be31334304c1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Humans often have a negative impact on biodiversity.
Many efforts are now made to lessen this impact in order to maintain biodiversity.
Ecological management programs try to balance human progress with maintaining biodiversity.
