Ecology- The study of living things and their surroundings.
Organism- individual living thing. Species- a group of organisms that can
reproduce together and produce fertile offspring. Ex- humans are the same species.
Population- group of the same species. Ex- A group of bottlenose dolphins.

Producers / Autotrophs- make their own food via sunlight. Example- Plants
Consumers / Heterotrophs- rely on others for food. Example- Animals

Trophic levelsTrophic levels are nourishment levels in a
food chain. Example: Producer-> Herbivore (Primary

Producers are the first, herbivores are second, and carnivores are the top consumers.

How does the energy get distributed from trophic level to
trophic level?
How does the energy get distributed from trophic level to
trophic level?We know that ecosystems get their
energy from sunlight, which then provides the energy for photosynthesis to occur. That energy then flows up the food chain.
The amount of energy that gets transferred from trophic level to trophic level is 10% = Biomass

How does ATP work ?How does ATP work ?
Step 1- The energy carried by ATP is released when a phosphate group is removed from the molecule. The third bond is unstable and is easily broken.
Step 2- Reaction takes place and the energy is released for cell functions, meaning the third phosphate fell off.
Step 3- ATP (high energy) then becomes ADP (lower energy molecule) because it just lost a phosphate.
Step 4-The molecules get broken down and energy gets added.
Step 5- Phosphate is added and it’s back to ATP!

Why is this important?Why is this important?The foods that you eat do not contain ATP
directlyThe food needs to be digested and broken
down chemicallyEverything that you eat has a different
calorie amount (measures of energy), therefore different foods produce different amounts of ATP.
The number of ATP produced depends on what you eat- Carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids.

Everything that you eat has a different calorie amount (measures of energy), therefore different foods produce different amounts of ATP.
The number of ATP produced depends on what you eat- Carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids.
Swallow your food and then digestion takes place (NOT THAT FAST, OF COURSE!).
Does each type of food have the same amount of calories?
- NO!!!- Different foods have a
different amount of calories, therefore provide different
amounts of ATP.

large amounts in your body because they are the most commonly broken down molecule.
The breakdown of glucose yields 36 ATP.

ProteinsProteinsStore about the same amount of
energy as carbohydrates, but they are less likely to be broken down to make ATP.

Evaporation of water from leavesWater is pushed up through the xylem by
root pressure created from water moving up the soil to the plants root system and into the xylem-> results in small droplets of sap-> called guttation.
Water is also pulled up through cohesion through the xylem tissue-> creates a negative pressure or tension from roots to leaves.
