To what do these terms refer?
• Biosphere – The entire area of the planet that supports life.
• Biome – An area defined by specific abiotic and biotic factors.
• Community – The groups of living things in an area and how they relate.

two living things
• When both are helped it is called mutualismmutualism
• When one is helped and there is no effect on the other it is called commensalismcommensalism
• When one is helped and the other is harmed it is called parasitismparasitism
TAKS Review, Objective 3
Mutualism . . .Mutualism . . .
Sharks are cleaned by a little fish known as a Remora. The shark never eats them since they clean bacteria off of the shark. Since both species are helped, this is mutualism.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
Commensalism . . .Commensalism . . .
Orchids live high in tree-tops on the branches of large trees. They do not harm the tree, but they are helped by being raised up into the sunshine and receiving water.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
Parasites . . .Parasites . . .
Parasites harm or kill the host. A good example is a tape worm. It intercepts much of the host’s food, causing the host to starve/be nutrient deficient
TAKS Review, Objective 3
Parasitism – Co-evolution of Parasite and Host
Adaptations of Parasite – Highly specialized physiologically and
anatomically Feeding apparatus Small size, hard to see Strong, attachment apparatus Natural pain killers at feeding site
TAKS Review, Objective 3
Parasitism – Co-evolution of Parasite and Host
Adaptations of the Host – Defense Eyes, nose and mouth are protected
by tears, mucous and saliva Grooming behaviors Natural body defenses
TAKS Review, Objective 3
35 Clown fish are small reef fish that seek protection from predators by sheltering themselves among the stinging tentacles of sea anemones. Clown fish are very territorial and can potentially scare off predators of sea anemones. This relationship is an example of --
A neutralism
B mutualism
C parasitism
D commensalism
This is not a type of symbiosis Incorrect
Neither is harmed so this is incorrect
Means only one is being helped and the relationship has no effect on the other – also incorrect
Since both are helped, it is of mutual benefit
TAKS Review, Objective 3
All photosynthetic organisms take the light from the sun and convert it to chemical
stored energy. This chemical energy is an organic compound.
Organic means having carbon
Primary Productivity
TAKS Review, Objective 3
18 Energy used by producers in a grassland food web is provided by-
F sunlight
G photosynthesis
H oxygen
J carbon dioxide
Used by producers
This is a process, not an energy source.
H and J are elements which are types of matter, not energy.
So the answer should be:
F
TAKS Review, Objective 3
Energy Diagrams - FLOWEnergy Diagrams - FLOW At one end of the diagram are plants. Plants are called producers since they are capable of turning sunlight into food by photosynthesis. They pass 10% of the They pass 10% of the energy they absorb to animals that eat energy they absorb to animals that eat
them. them.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
To understand the flow of energy lets say that when energy leaves the sun it is
worth 100 dollars.
Next when the plant makes food the energy is now worth 10 dollars
When the rabbit eats the plant the energy is worth 1 dollar.
When the wolf eats the rabbit it is worth 0.1 dollars or 10 cents.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
So, as the energy moves through the ecosystem only 1/10th of it makes it to the next level!
TAKS Review, Objective 3
ConsumersConsumers1st Order Consumers: eat
only plants and are also called herbivores.
2nd Order Consumers: eat only animals and are called carnivores.
3rd Order Consumers: animals that eat other animals and plants. They are also known as omnivores
TAKS Review, Objective 3
The Detritivores…a special case- worms, fungi, and bacteria - all survive
by ‘eating’ the dead things (detritus) and returning the nutrients to the soil and air. If these creatures cause the decay they are called decomposers.
They are on all trophic levels except the first
TAKS Review, Objective 3
39 Wolves and hawks are at the same trophic level because they —A both live on landB are both large mammalsC both eat primary consumersD have similar hunting patterns

TAKS Review, Objective 3
10% Energy Rule –Only 10% of the energy moves up to
the next trophic level. Decomposers
TAKS Review, Objective 3
43 Approximately how much of the energy available in the tissues of the producer is eventually incorporated into the tissues of a secondary consumer?
A Less than 1%B Between 20% and 30%C Approximately 50%D More than 50%
If we apply the 10% rule, 10% of the 1000 kcal of the plant is consumed (100 kcal), and 10% of that is 10 kcal which is 1% of the original
1000kcal, but only 3 kcal is available to the tissues so it is A.

show all the feeding relationships in a community.
• The direction of the arrows shows the direction of energy flow.
• At the bottom of every web and every chain is a plant. These are the only things that can turn sunshine into food.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
37 Which of these groups of organisms would most likely have accumulated the largest concentration of a long-lasting chemical pollutant in their bodies?
A Phytoplankton
B Zooplankton
C Lake trout
D Gulls
Since the Gulls are at the top of the food web, they would have the highest
accumulation of everything but energy.

24 Which of the following is most likely to cause increases in a predator population?
F Fewer prey
G A reduction in competition
H More parasites
J A period of drought
Reduces available food – Nope!

• Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a specific population that an area can support (with enough food and other living requirements). It is shown by a line on population graphs for a specific species.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
2 Because of this animal’s adaptations, it would be most successful at —
F competing with birds
G making its own food
H hiding from predators
J running very rapidly
TAKS Review, Objective 3
And the answer is?
• H hiding from predators. • Its not a plant, so it can’t
make food. • It has no wings, so it can
not compete with birds. • Although it has long
legs, it doesn’t seem balanced for running.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
• How can a plant leaf be modified:
-to capture more sunlight?
-to receive less sunlight?
-to prevent water loss?
-for protection?
TAKS Review, Objective 3

TAKS Review, Objective 3
Man’s Effects on the EnvironmentMan’s Effects on the Environment
• More than 90% of fresh water is locked in ice at the polar caps and in glaciers.
• Much of the fresh water is polluted by land run-off, dumping of wastes and excess heat directly into lakes, oceans and rivers.
TAKS Review, Objective 3
Man’s Effects on the EnvironmentMan’s Effects on the Environment Global warming, also
called the Greenhouse Effect is caused by
excess burning of fossil fuels and destruction of our oxygen-producing Protista in the oceans and deforestation on land. Fewer plants
means less oxygen and more CO2.

Evolution: Evolution: the process of change over timethe process of change over time
• There are natural variations in all populations.
• As climate changes occur, and as pressures in terms of food, space, shelter and predation occur, some variations allow a species to survive; others do not.
• Some members who survive, reproduce causing the beneficial variation to become a predominant characteristic of the species.
