Ecology |
Key Terms-
Abiotic - a term that describes a nonliving factor in an ecosystem Decomposer - An organism that obtains nutrients by consuming dead and decaying organic matter which allows nutrients to be accessible to other organisms. Extinction - A term that describes a species that no longer has any known living individuals. Food chain - A simplified path illustrating the passing of potential chemical energy from one organism to another organism Aquatic - A term that describes an organism associated with a water environment |
Summary:
The ecology process is the study of all interactions with organisms and the environments that they interact with. Biotic and abiotic studies are in place to study the differences between the two and how their environments relate to each other. Abiotic are nonliving things, as in bacterias, temperatures, and etc. Biotic studies are the opposite of abiotic they follow all living things as in animal, plants, humans, and any other living species. Both studies are important to the topic of ecology and to each other because they rely off each other to function. Remember these studies when we begin to talk about the 4 types of ecologies.There are different types of ecologies, ecosystem, community, population, and organism. An ecosystem is made of all organisms in non living organisms found in single spaces,ecosystems tend to change more than other types because of the energy that they are based off. Community ecology is made of all organisms that come in contact with each other but they do not come in contact with non living organisms. The population ecology is made of all organisms that take in one type of species in a single environment, where there are at least one animal cell. Both biotic and abiotic features are used in the biome to gather a understanding on the reasons for why living cells live in environments that rely off their energy that is put out.

Biomes are a large occurring community that comes naturally of flora and fauna being in a major habitat. There are 5 main major biomes,Aquatic, Forest,Deset, Tundra, and Grassland.
