The study of ecology involves understanding the interactions within ecosystems, where energy transfer occurs through various trophic levels. Producers, such as plants and algae, utilize photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy, forming the base of the food chain.

Function and Management of Ecology and Ecosystem

Food chain
Feeding relationship between different living things in particular habitat

Subtopic

Energy
Trophic Level

Definition : Each step in the transfer of energy in a community

Decomposers

Organism that obtain the energy from dead organisms

Consumers

Heterotrophs (obtain food by eating other organims)

Types of consumers

Producers

Autotrophs (Self-feeding)

i) photosynthesis used to convert sunlight, chemical energy ii) produce carbohydrate for immediate use or for later storage iii) examples: plants, algae, and some bacteria

Conservation of biodiversity
Conversation challenge

Conversation regulations must be informed by solid research

Protecting resources for the future can require people to change the way earn their living today

Goal of conversation

Conversation efforts focus on protecting entire ecosystems as well as single process

Ex-situ conversation

Conversation of component of biological diversity

In-situ conversation

Conversation of species in its natural ecosystem or even in manmade ecosystems

Values of biodiversity
Social value
Fuel
drugs & medicines
food
Definition
Varieties and differences between living organisms
