natural Science

, Photosynthesis & Respiration
ENERGY > SUSTAINING LIFE:

→ energy need (to sustain life) = drives the interactions in ecosystems

All living things need energy for life processes:

Z Movement
Z Growth
Z Stay warm
[Sun = source of energy in ecosystems]

Z Light

Z Heat

[Plants = capture light energy > photosynthesis]


PHOTOSYNTHESIS:
→ chemical process during which plants glucose from carbon dioxide (from the air) and
water (from the ground) by using energy from the Sun;

[BYPRODUCT / BYPRODUCT = oxygen]




[Chlorophyll →green matter in plants that absorbs/captures the energy of sunlight]



GLUCOSE:
→ sugar > simplest form of food

→ Plants turn glucose into starch, cellulose and other chemical compounds [required for
growth and reproduction]

, RESPIRATION:
ENERGY IN FOOD:

➢ Food contains potential energy

➢ Food's energy content is measured in kilojoules (kJ) OR kilocalories (kCal)

➢ The energy stored in food can be measured by burning a small amount of food in an
instrument called a calorimeter.

[Glucose = broken down → energy is used → used for bodily processes
[RESPIRATION]]

[RESPIRATION →process by which energy is released from glucose during
a series of chemical reactions]




RESPIRATION & BREATHING:

DIFFERENT WAYS OF BREATHING:

➢ Fish → gills

➢ Whales → holes on top of head

➢ Caterpillars → holes against body

➢ People → nasal cavities (air goes to lungs)



QUIIIIZZZZ!!!


WHY DO YOU BREATHE HARDER WHEN YOU EXERCISE?
➢ Respiration takes place in every cell of your body.
➢ When you jog or do exercises you need more energy.
➢ This means that respiration takes place faster and that you therefore need more
oxygen than usual.
➢ Your body automatically responds to the need for more oxygen by breathing
harder and faster.

, Interactions & interdependence
ECOLOGY > INTERACTION:

[ECOLOGY → branch of the sciences that studies the interaction of
organisms with other organisms and their environment]

Ecologist > Person who studies these relationships and interactions



4 LEVELS > STUDY OF ECOLOGY:

→ group of organisms of the same species that are found in a
POPULATION specific area at a specific time and they must be able to breed in
that area
[population growth & factors affecting population growth or decline]
→all the populations of organisms that interact in a specific area
COMMUNITY [2 OR MORE POPULATIONS]
→communities' interaction with the non-living things in their
ECOSYSTEM environment
[community + habitat]
→all the ecosystems on Earth combine to form the biosphere
BIOSPHERE
ECOSYSTEMS > BIOTIC & ABIOTIC COMPONENTS:

BIOTIC ABIOTIC
[LIVE] [NON-LIVING]
Z Plants Z Temperature
Z Animals Z Sunlight
Z People Z Water
Z Wind
Z Sand


SURVEY METHODS > SIZE OF ECOSYSTEM:

SQUARE SURVEYS CROSS SECTION SAMPLING
→a square or grid for surveys →a line through the study area for sampling
[PLANTS / SLOW MOVING ANIMALS] [STATES OF ABIOTIC FACTORS
CHANGE]
