  19. Terrestrial Ecosystem A terrestrial ecosystem is an ecosystem found only on a landform. It is a community of organisms and their environment that occurs on the land masses of continents and islands. EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  20. Marine Ecosystem Marine ecosystems are among the largest of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. Marine waters cover two-thirds of the surface of the Earth. Such places are considered ecosystems because the plant life supports the animal life and vice-versa. They can be contrasted with freshwater ecosystems, which have a lower salt content. EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  21. Freshwater ecosystem Freshwater ecosystems are a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. They can be contrasted with marine ecosystems, which have a higher salt content. Freshwater habitats can be classified by different factors, including temperature, light penetration, and vegetation. EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  22. Relationship predator rey Predator- an organism that is hunting and feeds on prey. Prey- the organism that is being hunted and fed upon. EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  23. Relationship consumer producer • Producer- a living organism that can make its own food. • Consumer- an organisms that gets its food from eating other living things, in order to have enough energy to survive and reproduce. EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  24. Relationship host parasite Parasite- an organism that benefits at the expense of the other organism. Host- an organism that harbors a parasite providing nourishment and shelter. EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  25. 8.11B investigate how organisms and populations in an ecosystem depend on and may compete for biotic and abiotic factors such as quantity of light, water, range of temperatures, or soil composition EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  26. Organisms & Populations Organism – a living thing. Examples: plants, fish, bacteria, etc. (pg. 74 – ScienceSaurus) Population – all of the organisms of the same species that live in the same place at the same time. Example: a penguin population in Antarctica (pg. 130 – ScienceSaurus) EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  27. Biotic & Abiotic Factors in an Ecosystem Biotic – all of the living factors in an ecosystem. Example: A Pine forest ecosystem has pine trees, deer, owls, raccoon, mice, bacteria, turtles and ferns all living and interacting with each other as well as the abiotic factors. (pg. 130 – ScienceSaurus) Abiotic – all of the non-living factors in an ecosytesm. Example: A Pine Forest ecosystem has rocks, air, sunlight and water that help the biotic factors survive. (pg. 130 – ScienceSaurus) EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  28. Competition & Dependence Competition – occurs when more than one organism or population tries to make use of the same limited resource. Example: a larger wolf usually will take away food from a smaller wolf, since their food source is limited (pg. 132 – ScienceSaurus) Dependence – occurs when organisms and populations rely on limiting factors, such as food, water, light and living space (pg. 131 – ScienceSaurus) EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  29. Community Community – populations living in the same area with other populations. Example: the lizard population shares the same environment with the mesquite, bacteria, snakes, etc. (pg. 130 – ScienceSaurus) Daniel.montoyajr@sbcglobal.net EPISD Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

  30. __________ depends on _________ for _______ which is a biotic factor. • __________ depends on _________ for _______ which is an abiotic factor. • __________ competes with _________ for _______ which is a biotic factor. • __________ competes with _________ for _______ which is an abiotic factor. • If _______ was removed from the food web ______population would increase and ________ population would decrease.
