Biology Objective 3
Demonstrate an understanding of the
interdependence of organisms and the
environment.
Biomes
Identified by biotic and abiotic factors
• Biotic – what kinds of plants and animals live in it.
• Abiotic – Nonliving characteristics such as soil
type, rainfall amounts, and average temperature
cycles.

What are they referring to?
• Biosphere – The entire
area of the planet that
supports life.
• Biome – An area defined
by specific abiotic and
biotic factors.
• Community – The groups
of living things in an area
and how they relate.
Ecology – The study of the
relationships among living things
• Symbiosis is a close relationship between
two living things.
• When both are helped it is called mutualism
• When one is helped and there is no effect on
the other it is called commensulism
• When one is helped and the other is harmed
it is called parasitism
Mutualism . . .
Sharks are cleaned by
a little fish known
as a Remora. The
shark never eats
them since they
clean bacteria off of
the shark. Since
both species are
helped, this is
mutualism.
Commensulism . . .
Orchids live high
in tree-tops on
the branches of
large trees. They
do not harm the
tree, but they are
helped by being
raised up into the
sunshine and
receiving water.
Parasites . . .
Parasites harm or
kill the host. A
good example is
a tape worm. It
intercepts all of
the hosts food,
causing the host
to starve to death.
35 Clown fish are small reef fish that seek protection
from predators by sheltering themselves among the
stinging tentacles of sea anemones. Clown fish are
very territorial and can potentially scare off
predators of sea anemones. This relationship is an
example of -A neutralism This is not a type of symbiosis Incorrect
Since both are helped, it
B mutualism
is of mutual benefit or
C parasitism Neither is harmed so this is incorrect
D commensalism
Means only one is being helped and the relationship
has no effect on the other – also incorrect
What is helped?
Both the ants and the tree.
This is the definition of:
All energy on the earth comes
from the sun.
Energy Diagrams
At one end of the diagram are plants.
They are called producers since they
are capable of turning sunlight into
food by photosynthesis. They pass
10% of the energy they absorb to
animals that eat them.
Consumers
1st Order Consumers eat
only plants and are also
called herbivores.
2nd Order Consumers eat
only animals and are
called carnivores.
3rd Order Consumers
animals that eat other
animals, they are also
known as carnivores

Food Chain – One of many
feeding relationships in a
community
• Arrows in a food chain
show the direction of
energy flow.
• This is not the only
feeding relationship
for these organisms.
• When several or all of
the food relationships
are shown it’s a . . .
Food Web
Food Webs
• Food webs attempt to show all the feeding
relationships in a community.
• The direction of the arrows shows the
direction of energy flow.
• At the bottom of every web and every chain
is a plant. These are the only things that can
turn sunshine into food.
Since the Gulls are at the
top of the food web, they
would have the highest
accumulation of everything
but energy.
37 Which of these groups of
organisms would most likely
have accumulated the largest
concentration of a long-lasting
chemical pollutant in their
bodies?
A Phytoplankton
B Zooplankton
C Lake trout
D Gulls

Water Cycle
• Precipitation (rain
and snow) fall on
plants and ground.
• Plants respire and
evaporate water
back into clouds.
• The ground filters
the water run-off
into the lakes
where it
evaporates again.

Carbon Cycle
• Glucose C6H12O6 is
produced by plants,
eaten by animals.
Photosynthesis
• Animals and plants
exhale CO2 which is
taken in by plants to
make glucose
Cellular Respiration
Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrogen Cycle
• Lightening and bacteria in the ground “fix”
Nitrogen into a form usable by plants.
• It is absorbed by plants, through their roots
as nitrates, so they can be used to build
amino acids essential for building proteins,
enzymes and the nitrogen bases of DNA.
Rock Cycle
Man’s Effects on the Environment
• Ozone O3 is a protective layer at the top of the
atmosphere.
• However, when it occurs near the ground, it is
very harmful to all living things, it is SMOG
Man’s Effects on the Environment
• More than 90% of
fresh water is locked
in ice at the polar
caps and in glaciers.
• Much of the fresh
water is polluted by
land run-off, dumping
of wastes and excess
heat directly into
lakes, oceans and
rivers.
Man’s Effects on the Environment
Global warming, also
called the Greenhouse
Effect is caused by
excess burning of fossil
fuels and destruction of
our oxygen producing
protista in the oceans,
and deforestation on
land. Less plants
means less oxygen and
more CO2.
Evolution:
The process of change over time.
• There are natural variations in all populations.
• As climate changes occur, and as pressures in
terms of food, space, shelter and predation
occur, some variations allow a species to
survive.
• The members who survive, reproduce causing
the change to become a characteristic of the
species.
Speciation:
Separation into new species.
• Geographic isolation
can cause two
different natural
variations to become
prominent causing 2
separate species.
• Reproductive isolation
can have the same
effect.
What is extinction and what causes it?
• A population is extinct when the last of that species is
dead.
• Example: There are no more dinosaurs.
• What happened? Their habitat was destroyed. When
they no longer have what they need to live, they die.
Fossils
• These are imprints or
remains of living things.
• In undisturbed layers of
sedimentary rock, the
deeper it is, the older it
is.
• Give us information
about extinct species.
Homologous vs. Analogous Structures
• Homologous means they • Analogous means they
have the same origin, but
have the same function but
may be different now.
come from different
origins.
• Example, the upper arm

wings of bats.
Viruses
• Viruses are not alive
because they can not
reproduce on their
own, and
• They do not grow and
develop and
• They do not exchange
with their environment
Viral Illnesses
• Measles, mumps, colds,
influenza, Cold Sores,
mononucleosis, Epstein-Barr
virus are all illnesses that are
caused by a virus.
• A Virus is has a coat, a strand
inside of DNA or RNA, and some
type of attachment appendage.
Bacteria
• Bacteria can cause illnesses too, however 90%
of all bacteria is helpful, NOT harmful.
• Without bacteria, you would not be able to
make or eat cheese or ice cream. Without them,
you would be ill most of the time.
• Strep Throat and Staph infections are examples
of bacterial infections.

of Elements
• Non-metals: found on the right side of the Table
of Elements
• Metalloids: found along the stair-step line
• Synthetic: made in the laboratory and not yet
found in nature – many of the Actinide and
Lanthanide series and very large # elements.

• Physical changes are changes in the state of matter.
They do not change the substance. (Melting, boiling,
condensing, freezing, cutting)
• Chemical changes are reactions that result in new
products with new properties.

Nuclear Changes: Fission and
Fusion
• Fusion occurs when
the nucleus of one
atom is joined by the
nucleus of another.
• This is the reaction
that occurs on the sun
and stars.
• It produces extreme
energy release.
• Fission occurs when the
nucleus of an atom ejects
particles and energy when
hit by a subatomic particle
such as a neutron.
• This also causes a release
of extreme energy and is

Law of Conservation of Matter
• Matter can not be created or destroyed.
• The total mass of the substances before they are
mixed is equal to the total mass as a mixture.
Chemical
Reactions
Since matter can not be

chemical reactions
100g total = 100g total
must be balanced in
terms of mass.
The amount of mass you
start with must be equal
to the mass of the
products.

mass, how much zinc was present in the zinc
carbonate?
Since matter can not be created or destroyed in chemical

reactions, the mass on both sides of the arrow must be equal.
So
64g + 192g = 256g and 152 g + Zinc = 256g
There must be 104g of Zinc. Answer C.
Chemical Equations
• Whole numbers written in front of formulas are
called coefficients. For example, 4 C6H12O6
indicates that there are 4 molecules of glucose
sugar.
• To determine how many total atoms of each element
are present, multiply the coefficients by the
subscripts for each element.
• 4 C6H12O6 would contain 24 atoms of carbon
(4 x 6), 48 atoms of hydrogen (4 x 12), and 24 atoms
of oxygen (4 x 6).
To balance equations:
• The number of atoms of each type of element on the
reactant side (left of the arrow) must be equal those
on the product side (right side of the arrow).
2 H2 + O2
2 H2O
• There are 4 hydrogen atoms on the left (2 H2) and 4
hydrogen atoms on the right (2 H2O)
• There are 2 atoms of oxygen (O2) on the left and 2
atoms of oxygen on the right (2 H2O). When a
subscript is missing, it is understood to be 1.

Which element does not have the same number of
atoms on both sides? Oxygen. It has 2 on the reactant
side and 3 on the product side. If we put a coefficient
of 2 in front of PbO, we will now have 4 O and 2 Pb on
the right. By placing a coefficient of 2 in front of the
reactant, we have 2 Pb and 2 x 2 O. That means it is
balanced! Answer?

Law of Conservation of Energy
• Energy can change forms, but
is never created nor destroyed
• Loss in one form = gain in an
another form
• A falling object speeds up as it
falls to the ground; PE
decreases as KE increases.
The KE it has at impact = the
PE it had before it fell.
Example: A falling object speeds up
as it falls to the ground;
PE decreases as KE
increases, the KE it
has at impact with the
ground is equal to the
PE it had before it fell
Energy can be conserved in
Non-Mechanical forms
The chemical energy in a battery
transforms into electrical
energy
Any reaction where more energy
is given off than is used to start
it is Exogonic
An Endogonic reaction absorbs
energy and causes cooling
Electrical Energy Moving electrons in a path is
electricity
• Electrical Potential Difference (v) is measured in Volts
• The rate of moving electric charges, Electric Current (I),
is measured in Amperes
• Resistance or opposition to the movement of the energy
is called Resistance (R).
Circuits – 2 types
• Series circuits are the
most simple.
• One (1) path for the
current to travel.
• Contains an energy
source, a path, and a
load (something for it to
do, like a lamp)
Circuits – 2 types
• Parallel circuits
provide more than
one path for the
current to travel.
• Most circuits are
parallel, since if
one lamp goes
out, the others can
stay lit.

Thermal Energy
A body contains internal KE due to the
motion of its atoms ( they are
constantly wiggling and jiggling)
Thermal Energy is the total internal KE
of a body
Temperature is the average KE of a
body
Heat- Transfer of
Thermal Energy
Three forms of heating:
1. Conduction-direct contact, a
pot heating on a stove (solids)
2. Convection- heating by
circulating fluids, (gas and
liquid) heating from a fireplace
And. . .
3. Radiation – Transfer of
Electromagnetic (E.M.)
Energy
• Objects are heated
when exposed to
infrared radiation
• The suns heats the
earth by sending
infrared radiation

of E.M. energy 3.0 x
108 meters through
empty space
Heat moves by conduction in solids
since the particles are close together
and vibrate. . .
43 Heat
convection occurs in gases and liquids.
Heat convection does not occur in solids
because solids are unable to —
A absorb heat by vibrating
B transfer heat by fluid motion
C emit radiation by reflecting light
D exchange heat by direct contact
Solids do radiate heat to their surroundings
2 The primary way liquids and
gases transmit heat is by the
process of —
F reflection
G conduction
H radiation
J convection
Fluid heat movement
is convection. Fluid
motion occurs in
liquids and gases.

Nuclear Reactions
Fusion occurs when two atoms
combine to form a new element.
The sun produces all of its
energy through fusion.
Two hydrogen atoms combine
to form a Helium atom from the
great gravitational forces and
pressure in the sun’s core
Nuclear Reactions Fission
• Fission is the splitting of
nucleii of large atoms such as
Uranium and Plutonium
• Produces large amounts of
infrared radiation and other
forms of E.M. Energy such
as Gamma Rays
• Currently, it is the main form
of Atomic Energy on Earth

Waves - Energy carried by
rhythmic disturbances
• Two types:
• 1. E.M. radiation
move through
empty space
• 2. Mechanical
require a medium
(air, water or any
type of matter) for
movement
Waves - 2 Types
All waves have similar properties
• Frequency- the number of vibrations
per second or the speed of the
movement of the vibrating particles
• Amplitude – the size of the movement
of the vibrating particles
• Both are controlled by the disturbance
that created the waves
Velocity of all waves v=f λ
f-frequency and λ is
wavelength (distance
between identical points on
two consecutive waves)
Reflection- bounce off barriers
in regular ways
Refraction- waves can change
direction when speed
changes
Transverse Waves
• In Transverse Waves
particles vibrate at right
angles to the direction
the wave travels.
• Ex. E. M. Waves, waves
on a slinky or rope coil,
ocean waves
Longitudinal or
Compress ional Waves
Vibrating particles move
back and forth along
the direction of the
wave velocity
Parts consist of
compressions and
rarefactions
Ex. Sound Waves
Sound Waves are Compression
Waves
Sound is produced when a
compression is made.
It requires a producer and a medium
to travel through.
The more elastic the object, the
faster sound travels.
Sound acts like other waves
• Echoes are reflected
sound waves
• Sonar uses echoes to
judge distance to
obstructions
• Human hearing is 2020,000 Hz, below 10
Hz is infrasonic, and
above 20,000 Hz is
ultrasonic.
Forces and Motion
• Forces can create changes in
motion (acceleration)
• Deceleration is negative
acceleration
Motion can be described as
• a change in an
object’s position
• Average velocity
(speed) is the change
of position of an
object over time
Velocity Graphs
V = distance
time
• Velocity (v) is
the slope (rise
over run) of a
position (d) vs.
time (t) graph

Velocity ((m/s)(m)
• Acceleration (a) is
the slope of a
velocity (v) vs. time

Acceleration is a change in an objects
velocity (speed or direction)
• When an object’s
speed changes over
time it is accelerating
(or decelerating)
• A = vfinal – vinitial
time
• Units for acceleration
m/s/s or m/s2
Definition of a Force
• A Force is a
push or a pull
Balanced Force
• A force that
produces no
change in an
object’s motion
because it is
balanced by an
equal, opposite
force.
Unbalanced
Forces
Are forces
that results
in an
object’s
motion
being
changed.
+
Friction
A force that acts in a
direction opposite to the
motion of two surfaces in
contact with each other.
Friction
Friction causes an
object to slow
down and stop.
Since the amount of
energy stays
constant, the
energy becomes
heat.
Newton’s 1st Law of
Motion
• Object in
motion
stays in
motion
Newton’s 1st Law of
Motion
• And
Objects
at rest
stay at
rest
Newton’s 1st Law of
Motion
• Until they are acted upon by
unbalanced forces.
Inertia or Newtons 1st Law
• Tendency for an
object to stay at
rest or moving in a
straight line at a
constant speed.
• The mass (m
measured in kg) of
an object
determines its
inertia
Newton’s 2nd
Law of Motion
Force = Mass X
Acceleration
F=ma
Weight (pull of gravity) is a
commonly measured force,
calculated by F=mg, g is the
acceleration due to gravity 9.8

Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
The greater the
mass of an
object, the
greater the force
required to
change its
motion.
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
• The greater the
acceleration of
an object, the
greater the
force required to
change its
motion.
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion
• For every
action force
there is an
equal and
opposite
reaction
force.
Newton’s
rd
3
Law of Motion
All forces come
in actionreaction pairs
Ex: feet push
backward on floor,
the floor pushes
forward on feet
Work
• Work: using a force
for a distance
• W=Fxd
• The work done by forces on an object
= changes in energy for that object.
• Work and Energy are measured in
Joules
• 1 Joule=1 Newton • meter
Why use a machine?
• In an ideal (perfect)
machine the work put
into the machine (Win) =
the work put out by that
machine (Wout)
Machines make work easier
• The ideal mechanical advantage
of a machine (IMA) of a machine
is the number of times the output
force is larger than the input force
IMA=Fout/Fin
• A machine can only make this
happen by moving the input force
through a farther distance than the
output force
• Fin • din=Fout • dout
Real Machines use Energy
• No real machine is
100 % efficient. i.e.
none put out more
work than is put in
• Efficiency of a
machine is work
output/work input X
100 %
• Eff = Wout X 100%
W

Machines use power
• Power: the rate at which
energy is used (work is
done)
• P=Work/time
• Power is measured in
H.P. or watts
• 1 watt = 1 Joule
1 sec
6 Types of simple machines
• Some Simple
Machines:
• Inclined planes
• Screws
• Pulleys
• Wheel and axle
• Levers
• Wedge
Universal Law of Gravitation
All objects in
the universe
attract each
other by the
force of
gravity
Universal Law of
Gravitation
1) the mass of the object
doing the pulling, and
Gravity varies depending on
two factors:
2) the distance from the center
of that object
On Earth gravity = 9.8 m/s/s
• For every second
that an object falls
its speed increases
by 9.8 m/s
