WHAT IS A POPULATION?A population is one species living in a specific area.
For example, all foxes living in an area form a population.
Another example, all dandelions growing in an area form another population.
WHAT IS A COMMUNITY?A community is formed from all living populations found in an area.
All the foxes, dandelions, grasshoppers, snakes, hawks, deer, and skunks living in one area each form their individual populations, but together make up a community.
WHAT IS A ECOSYSTEM?
An ecosystem is formed by the interactions between all living and non-living things.
Ecosystem composed of biotic and abiotic components.
The living parts of an ecosystem.
They include animals, plants,
fungus, protists, and bacteria.
Biotic Components
The nonliving parts of an ecosystem.
They include water, minerals, sunlight, air, climate, and soil.
Abiotic Componen

TROPHIC LEVELS A trophic level is the position occupied by an
organism in a food chain. Trophic levels can be analyzed on an energy
pyramid. Producers are found at the base of the
pyramid and compromise the first trophic level.
Primary consumers make up the second trophic level.
Secondary consumers make up the third trophic level.
Finally tertiary consumers make up the top trophic level.
Modified from: General Ecology, by David T. Krome
Trophic level: All the organisms that are the same number of food-chain steps from the primary source of energy
TROPHIC LEVELS FOUND ON AN ENERGY PYRAMID
The greatest amount of energy is found at the base of the pyramid.
The least amount of energy is found at top of the pyramid.

FOOD CHAINSThe producers, consumers, and
decomposers of each ecosystem
make up a food chain.
There are many food chains in an
ecosystem.
Food chains show where energy is
transferred and not who eats who.
EXAMPLE OF A FOOD CHAIN
FOOD WEBS
All the food chains in an area make up the food web of the area.
