STS PPT 13: BIODIVERSITY AND A HEALTHY SOCIETY PART I.I

Biodiversity

It is the range of variation found among microorganisms, plants, fungi, and animals. It also refers to the richness of species of living organisms.

Biodiversity

It also refers to the richness of species of living organisms.

Organism

Any living thing

Gene

An organism's collection of genes determines what it is, what it looks like, and often how it behaves.

Gene

It is a unit of inherited material. An organism's collection of genes determines what it is, what it looks like, and often how it behaves.

Species

It is a group of similar organisms that reproduce among themselves, but do not naturally reproduce with any other kinds of organisms

Population

It is a group of individuals belonging to one species living in the same geographic area.

Community

It consists of populations of organisms of different species that interact with one another.

Ecosystem

It is any geographic area with all types of organisms present and the nonliving parts of their physical environment.

Ecosystem

It involves the movement and storage of energy and matter through living things and the physical environment.

Biosphere

It is also called ecosphere is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. Also known as the zone of life.

Zone of Life

Biosphere is also known as the?

Levels of Biological Organization

Starting at the simplest level, atoms are organized into molecules, which are organized into cells. Cells are organized into tissues, tissues into organs, organs into organ systems, and organ systems into individual multicellular organisms. A group of individuals of the same species is a population. Populations of different species interact to form communities. A community and its abiotic environment make up an ecosystem. The sum of all ecosystems on Earth is the Biosphere.

What are the Levels of Biological Organization

Population

It is a group of individuals belonging to one species living in the same geographic area.

Community

It consists of populations of organisms of different species that interact with one another.

Ecosystem

It is any geographic area consisting of all living components and nonliving components that are connected by energy flow.

Ecosystem

It can cover a small area, like a pond, or a large area, like an entire forest. The primary source of energy in virtually every ecosystem is the sun whose radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy by the plants.

Sun

The primary source of energy in virtually every ecosystem is the ______ whose radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy by the plants.

Animals eat the plants

________________, allowing the energy to flow through the systems. The animals are, in turn, eaten by other animals. Fungi decompose organisms to obtain energy and in the process recycle nutrients back into the soil.

eaten by other animals

Animals eat the plants, allowing the energy to flow through the systems. The animals are, in turn, __________________. Fungi decompose organisms to obtain energy and in the process recycle nutrients back into the soil.

Fungi

Animals eat the plants, allowing the energy to flow through the systems. The animals are, in turn, eaten by other animals. _____________ decompose organisms to obtain energy and in the process recycle nutrients back into the soil.

Fungi

It decompose organisms to obtain energy and in the process recycle nutrients back into the soil.
