Ecology Section 3.1 Today we will? Content Objectives Use prior knowledge and group discussion to problem solve. Intro to Ecology Language objectives Take a pretest Complete a worksheet with a group Activity today: In your groups you will? Work together without using your book to answer the questions. You must discuss and come to a group consensus. Meaning: the definition must be discussed, it can?t be just what 1 person says. When you are done, come ask me what to do next. Ecology What do you think?? Tell me what you thought ecology was before you corrected. Ecology: The study of the interactions between organisms and the biotic and abiotic factors of their environment. What is abiotic? What is biotic? All the living factors of any ecosystem

Chapter 9 notes Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Concept 9.1 Metabolic pathways that release energy are called catabolic pathways - fermentation and cellular respiration _____________: partial degradation of sugars that occurs w/out the help of O2 ________: O2 is consumed as a reactant along w/ the sugar - more efficient Concept 9.1 Cellular respiration occurs in the _______________ Organic + O2 ? Carbon + H2O + Energy compounds dioxide C6H12O6 + 6O2 ? 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy 1 glucose = -686 kcals Concept 9.1 ATP is the central molecule responsible for energy used by the cell The cell uses enzymes to transfer phosphate groups from ATP to other compounds (making them _________________) ATP ? ADP + phosphate Concept 9.1

Chapter 10 notes Photosynthesis Photosynthesis In Nature All life acquires organic compounds for energy and carbon skeletons by one of two ways - ______________: (autos = self, trophos = feed) - they sustain themselves w/out eating other organisms Photosynthesis In Nature - plants are _________________ because they use light as a source of energy - __________: (hetero = other, different) - live on compounds produced by other organisms Heterotrophs are dependent on photoautotrophs for food and oxygen Photosynthesis In Nature ________________ are the site of photosynthesis in plants All green parts of plants have chloroplasts - color is from ____________, the green pigment in the chloroplasts

UNIT 15 - ECOLOGY List of Terms Ecology: study of interactions of organisms with their environment and with each other Population: group of individuals of one species in one area that can breed and interact with one another Community: all the organisms in one area Ecosystem: All the organisms in an area and abiotic factors in that area Abiotic factors: nonliving, include temperature, water, sunlight, wind, rocks, etc. Biosphere: global ecosystem Biotic potential: max rate at which a population can increase under ideal conditions Influenced by factors like age at which reproduction begins, lifespan during which you can reproduce, # of reproductive periods in lifetime, and the max # of offspring the organism can produce

Biomass ? Organic Matter One of our oldest energy sources. Gets energy from the sun-photosynthesis Renewable Three types are used today Wood and agriculture products Solid Waste Landfill gas and biogas What is it? ? How Does it Work? ? Mainly used for Electricity - 14% Heat- 1/10th of homes Fuels - 15% Industrial - 55% What Does it Do? ? Can be sustainable Paper and saw mills But? Like anything can be overused Cost How Realistic is it? ? Promising Comes from many different sources Usually our waste Can be used for a lot Has a few disadvantages Releases carbon dioxide Future? ? What is the purpose that biomass is used for the most? Where does biomass get its energy from? Is biomass better environmentally and economically than coal? How?

biomass environmental science ap energy renewable

Biomass It is any organic matter; wood, crops, seaweed, animal wastes It?s one of our oldest energy sources People have always used wood for heat and cooking It gets its energy from the sun through photosynthesis. It is a renewable resource There are three main types that we used today. Wood and agriculture products Wood accounts for 46% of biomass energy Other sources are fruit pits and corn cobs Many wood using companies are seeing the benefit of using scraps for power Saves money Reduces wastes Pulp and paper mills use biomass to meet 63% of their energy needs Solid wastes Burning trash 1 ton of garbage contains as much heat energy as 500 pounds of coal Reduces amount of trash dumped into landfills by 60-90% Landfill gas and biogas
