Abiotic Factors • Examples are the sun, soil, wind, water, rocks, and viruses.
Biotic Factors • Anything that is living • Examples are all animals, plants, bacteria, fungi, protists
Heterotroph vs. Autotroph
Autotroph = producers • Make their own food • 2 ways of making their own food 1. Photosynthesis- use sunlight to make carbohydrates 2. Chemosynthesis- uses chemicals to make carbohydrates
Heterotroph= Consumers • Must obtain food (carbohydrates) from other organisms • 5 types
Omnivore • Eat both plant and meat • Examples: humans, bears, raccoon, and fox
Carnivore • Eat only meat • Examples: Lion, tigers, owls, jellyfish, snakes, sharks
Herbivore • Eat only plants • Examples: deer, zebra, giraffe, cow, elephant, sheep
Detritivore • Eat dead things (scavenger) • Examples: crows, flies, coyotes, hyenas
Decomposer • Feed on dead things and break them down into organic matter • Examples: earthworms, fungi, bacteria
Ecological levels of organization • • • Species Population Community Ecosystem Biomes Biosphere
Species • Individuals that can interbreed and have fertile offspring
Population • Organisms of the same species living in a certain area
Community • Several populations living in the same area
Ecosystem • Several communities along with the abiotic factors
Biome • Several ecosystems in a given region
Biosphere • All of the biomes on Earth • The whole world
