Ecosystems! By Kailani

1. Soil
   1. PLANTS
      1. ANIMALS
      2. PHOTOSYNTHESIS
         1. SUN

            Nota:

            • Without it we may not be alive now.
         2. ANIMALS
            1. DECOMPOSE
               1. BACTERIA
                  1. DECOMPOSERS
      3. DECOMPOSE
         1. SOIL
2. SUN
   1. ROCKS
3. ROCKS
   1. SOIL
4. NON-LIVING COMPONENTS OF AN ECOSYSTEM
5. ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS

   Nota:

   • Everything we have and everything that is made comes from the sun. The sun provides us with light and heat.

1. ORGANIZATION OF SPECIES
   1. SPECIES

      Nota:

      • The same type of biotic organism that can reproduce.
      1. POPULATION

         Nota:

         • How many individuals there are of that one spieces. 
         1. COMMUNITY

            Nota:

            • A bunch of populations that interact with each other.
            1. ECOSYSTEMS

               Nota:

               • Biotic and abiotic things that interact with each other.

      3. CELLULAR RESPIRATION

         Nota:

         • Animals breaths in oxygen that goes into the respiratory system. Then a  process starts that turns it into carbon dioxide. 
         1. PHOTOSYNTHESIS

            Nota:

            • Plants take sunlight water and carbon dioxide that turns it into sugar. The plant then eats the sugar, releasing oxygen.
            1. OXYGEN

               Nota:

               • Let's us breath.
               1. SPECIES

                  Nota:

                  • The same type of biotic organism that can reproduce.
         2. HUMAN IMPACTS
            1. DEFORESTATION

               Nota:

               • Chopping down a large area with a lot of trees. This is also a problem because when they are chopped, they release a lot of carbon, which can lead to more climate change.
            2. CLIMATE CHANGE

               Nota:

               • Methane gas, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions go to Earth's atmosphere and absorb heat from the sun. This warms the Earth.
            3. OVERPOPULATION

               Nota:

               • There are to many humans and we all need the same things, but the Earth can't give these because there are to many of us.
         3. HUMAN IMPACTS IS CONNECTED TO CELLULAR RESPIRATION BECAUSE WE DO IT.
      4. CONSUMERS

         Nota:

         • Species that eat other biotic organisms.
2. LIVING SPECIES IN AN ECOSYSTEM

1. MUTUALISM
   1. BOTH SPECIES BENEFIT
      1. EXAMPLE: BEES AND FLOWERS
2. PARASITISM
   1. ONE SPECIES BENEFITS, THE OTHER IS HARMED
      1. EXAMPLE: MOSQUITOES SUCKING BLOOD OF HUMANS
3. COMMENSALISM
   1. ONE SPECIES BENEFITS AND THE OTHER IS NOT HARMED
      1. EXAMPLE: BIRD NEST IN A TREE
4. SPECIES INTERACTS WITH ANOTHER SPECIES IN INTERESTING WAYS

1. DESERT

   Nota:

   • SAND SPECIES: CAMELS
2. GRASSLAND

   Nota:

   • GRASS
3. ALPINE

   Nota:

   • LIKE BOREAL FOREST
4. AQUATIC

   Nota:

   • WATER
