nutrient cycling contains nitrogen, phosporus, and carbon in its proccess
the nutrient cycle is a process where nutrients disperse into other biotic life forms
sustainability includes nutrients that are found in soil to help plants grow
Examples of abiotic
biodiversity is connected to community because communities don't always have the same organisms living together.
commensalism is where one organism benefits off of another organism but it does not harm the organism that is not beneficial
parasitism is an interaction between organisms where only one organism benefits while the other is either hurt or killed.
mutualism is an interaction between two organisms where both of the organisms benefit
as already explaned, an autotroph is an organism that can create food for itself!
the opposite of an autotroph, a heterotroph has to feed of other living organisms to survive so they have to find their own food.
photosynthesis is a form of energy transformation due to the fact of it being literal solar energy
photosythesis travels to the Chloroplast
cellular respiration is the process of food being converted to energy (Glucose) in an animal body which help animals live healthier. it is a producer because it simply produces energy for all animals
photosynthesis produces energy through solar energy while plants and algae convert that energy to chemical helping them grow healthy
trophic levels seperate different species by how they rank on the food chain
Bioaccumulation is the consumption of a toxin from any animal on any trophic level later to be passed through trophic levels in biomagnification
biomagnification is the transfer of a toxin from different species passing on through the trophic levels
Trophic efficiency is the separation and organization of different species
Decomposers are fungi or bacteria who break down dead plants/animals making organic nutrients for the ecosystem
Producers are certain organisms who make their own food, this can be categorized as autotrophs
A consumer is a category of species that consumes
a community is also a very important aspect of a natural living environment. a community needs to be established in an ecosystem to sustain peace to the organisms inside of the ecosystem.
competition is a certain characteristic for some animals that compete for food or mating
predation is another certain characteristic that only some animals have. this specific characteristic is found in certain animals who hunt for their food
symbiotic relationships are the most advanced of the relationships. it includes all 3 of the relationships below. mutualism: two organisms that help each-other and both benefit. parasitism: where one organism uses another organism for its own benefit and harm the other organism. commensalism: where one organism uses the other to benefit while the other organism isn't affected at all.
Food webs are a very well-known the aspect of biotic living. food webs are an interconnection of food chains.
food chains are one of the most important biotic characteristics keeping species population levels stable
an ecosystem needs to be sustainable in order to last and keep everything in it living
non-living things
living things
the photosynthesis creates glucose out of the chloroplast that is eaten by a human. during the consumption, oxygen (02) enters the human system as-well as the glucose
eutrophication is a result of nutrient cycling when a body of water is enriched with all of these nutrients
after exiting the animals mitochondria with water (h20) and carbon dioxide (c02) the process repeats
