Ecosystem Energetics Laws of Thermodynamics 1st ? Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one type to the other All energy in an ecosystem ultimately comes from the sun 2nd ? In any transfer of energy, energy is lost. Energy is constantly being lost to the environment as heat Primary Productivity Primary Productivity is the production of organic compounds from atmospheric or aquatic CO2, principally through the process of photosynthesis Plants use the product of photosynthesis in 2 ways 1. Plant structures such as proteins, cells, tissues (building the plant body) 2. Fuel for Respiration. This powers such processes as growth, transpiration, reproduction, etc. Gross primary productivity (GPP) ? total amount of energy from photosynthesis

Skeletal System The human skeleton is divided into two main parts the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the vertebral column, the rib cage, and the skull. The appendicular skeleton consists of the pectoral girdles, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle, and the lower limbs. Identify 20 major bones in the body. The following are major bones in the body: Cranium, mandible, femur, patella, scapula, ulna, clavicle, humorous, sternum, lumbar, vertebrae, cervical vertebrae, radius, pubis, carpals, metacarpals, sacrum, coccyx, tibia, phalanges, ilium, fibula, tarsals, and ribs. State the functions of the skeletal system.

By: Chlo? Durfee Sydney Modder Ramya Ramesh Megumi Sharma Chase Damis The Respiratory System Larynx (Voice Box) Connects pharynx to trachea Provides airway Prevents food from entering respiratory tract Produces sound Pharynx (throat) Provides passageway for respiratory and digestive tracts Tube like structure that connects nasal and oral cavities to larynx Coordinates breathing and swallowing while eating Larynx/Pharynx Larynx/Pharynx Epiglottis Blocks food and liquids from entering the trachea Spoon-like structure Epiglottis Lungs Pair of spongy, air-filled organs. Located on either side of thorax. Covered by thin tissue called pleura. Pull in oxygen and absorbs it into linings of lungs. Pushes oxygen into chambers of the heart so oxygen travels throughout the body.

Unit I: The Concept of Life Biology : The Study of Life How is Life Defined? Key Idea: All living things carry out eight essential life functions. Collectively, the eight life functions are known as metabolism. Nutrition: the process in which food (organic molecules) is absorbed (ingestion) and used or broken down (digestion). Transport: the process in which material is moved from one place to another (circulated) within organisms. Active Transport: the type of transport that moves material from a low to high concentration while using energy.

Biology B3 B3.1 Exchange of materials 1.1 Osmosis Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a partially permeable membrane (e.g. a cell membrane) It?s random and re quires no energy 1.2 Active transport Cells may need to absorb substances which are in short supply, i.e. against the concentration gradient. To do this they use active transport to absorb substances across partially permeable membranes Active transport requires the use of energy released in respiration Cells are able to absorb ions from dilute solutions. For example, root cells absorb mineral ions from the dilute solutions in the soil by active transport Glucose can be reabsorbed in the kidney tubules by active transport

Performance task #3 1. Hypothesis: If you fertilize the ocean with iron then, it will help reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. 2. Step-by-Step procedure: 1. Dissolve 7 metric tons of iron sulfate in acidic sea water.?? 2. Spew the solution into a ships propeller wash on a specific date covering a circular patch in the eddy. 3. Cover in iron in a circular path for 167 square km (0.01 grams per square meter. ? 4. Monitor the fate of the patch, off and on for 5 weeks while adding supplemental iron fertilizer after every 2 weeks to keep concentrations high enough to promote growth. ?? 5. Record the microscopic life bloomed on a data table.
