Interactions in an Ecosystem PredationCompetition Whale Shark
eats plankton and small fish Hawks and fox eat mice.
Slide 4
Interactions in an Ecosystem ParasitismMutualism Mosquito
sucking blood from animals. Oxpecker Bird eats ticks and parasites.
Beasts get pest control
Slide 5
Interactions in an Ecosystem Mutualism Remora sharks have an
adhesive disk on their dorsal surface, with the help of which they
attach themselves to whales and then, clean the whales skin and
feed on the remains from the whale's food.
Slide 6
Interactions in an Ecosystem Commensalism "The pearlfish uses
the sea cucumber for a hide-out from predators. The pearlfish will
live in the sea cucumbers anus, backing into the hole tail-first so
its head can stick out."
Slide 7
Interactions in an Ecosystem Commensalism Glass shrimp, which
are almost completely see through, will attach to the chocolate
chip sea star and take on its coloration. This helps the shrimp
camouflage itself so it is not eaten by predators."

Slide 10
Nearly all of the energy that drives ecosystems ultimately
comes from the sun. Solar energy, which is an abiotic factor, by
the way, enters the ecosystem through the process of
photosynthesis. Primary consumers only obtain a fraction of the
total solar energyabout 10%captured by the producers they eat. The
other 90% is used by the producer for growth, reproduction, and
survival, or it is lost as heat. At each level, called a trophic
level, about 90% of the energy is lost.

Slide 16
Land (Terrestrial) Ocean (Aquatic) Fresh Water (Aquatic) Many
& diverse types of ecosystems. There are seven major types.
Location usually dependent on the latitude of the area, and amount
of precipitation The 7 Major Biomes 1. Tropical Rain Forrest 2.
Savanna 3. Desert 4. Temperate Grasslands 5. Deciduous Forests 6.
Coniferous Forests 7.Tundra Most of Earth (~75%) 40% of all
photosynthesis occurs in oceans. 3 types Shallow ocean waters Deep
ocean water Deep ocean surface. Photosynthetic plankton is base of
food chain. Only occurs in Deep ocean surface & Shallow ocean
ecosystems No photosynthesis can occur in deep ocean because light
cannot penetrate deeply into water. Smallest Ecosystem ~ 1.8% of
earth's surface Support many species of life including fish,
amphibians, insects and plants. Base of food-web is found in
freshwater Plankton (small microscopic organisms) Home to
amphibians, reptiles and almost 41% of worlds fish species. Faster
moving water typically supports greater biodiversity than the slow
moving water of pools (fast = more dissolved oxygen)

Monday, April 29, 2013 Review New Notes about the Cycles and Marine
Ecosystems Marine Ecosystems - interdependence of all organisms
living in the ocean, in shallow coastal waters, and on the
seashore. Abiotic Factors water pressure light dissolved gasses
temperature salinity Biotic Factors broken into zones because the
biotic factors differ depending on location Marine Trophic Pyramid
See example Friday, April 26, 2013 Monday, April 29, 2013
Slide 22
Marine Ecosystems Estuaries - an area in which fresh water from
a river mixes with salt water from the ocean. Very productive
ecosystemsconstantly receive fresh nutrients from the river and
from the ocean The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the
United States. It produces large amounts of seafood each year,
supports many species of wildlife, and provides recreation for
millions of people. Ecosystems of the bay are threatened by several
environmental problems (pollution, runoff, etc.)
Slide 23
Marine Ecosystems Coral Reefs - limestone ridges built by tiny
coral animals, which slowly accumulate and form coral reefs.
Supports life of thousands of species of plants and animals; one of
the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. Corals need clear and warm
salt water for photosynthesistypically found in shallow, tropical
seas. Fragile to pollution and human activities. Pollution, change
in water temperature, and runoff can devastate a reefs ecosystem
(27% in the world are currently in danger)
Slide 24
Ecosystems and the Media Does the media always accurately
portray ecosystem interactions? Watch the following video clips and
determine the following: 1)What interactions have you observed
within the living things in the environment? 2)Mutualism?
Commensalism? Parasitism? Predator/Prey? Symbiotic? 3)Are these
relationship and interactions realistic? Why or why not? Lion King

Slide 27
Slide 28
Group 1 K.I.M. cards for to define the impact of the following
water quality indicators using textbook / internet. Read the
original article in the Florida Times-Union by Dana Treen was
entitled "Fish-killing bloom could harm humans." Chart the impact
of water quality indicators Re-name this newspaper article with an
appropriate answer and explain why you chose the new title.
Slide 29
Group 2 Using the resource pages in the back of the textbook
Identify and then create an organized chart of the abiotic and
biotic factors that influence the quality of water in an area.
Evaluate sample water quality data Choose 6 months of the most
appropriate data to show on a graph. Choose the type of graph that
would best represent this data. Use the graph to help answer these
questions. 1. As the temperature increases, what happens to the
amount of dissolved oxygen? 2. What do you know about temperature
increases that might explain why this happens? 3. As the
temperature decreases, what happens to the amount of dissolved
oxygen? 4. What do you know about temperature decreases that might
explain why this happens?
Slide 30
Group 3 Read the attached information "Fish-killing bloom could
harm humans" by Dana Treen and the excerpt from "Citizen's Water
Quality Monitoring Manual for the St Johns River" by Robert Frease.
Create an organized chart of the abiotic and biotic factors that
affect water quality. Think about this: Next to oxygen, water-clean
water-is our most valuable resource. Imagine that you are the
public relations director for the St Johns River Water Management
District. As public relations director, you need to educate the
public about what they can do to have good healthy water quality.
Create a display to educate the general public about the each of
the factors that impact water quality.
