Biotechnology Notes:
Thursday April 23, 2020
* Traditional biotechnology is the use of living organisms to solve problems and make useful products. Understanding the microbial world has led to the emerging field of biotechnology, that has given many careers in medicine. agriculture, genetics and food science.
* Biotechnology has raised many benefits in NC as well as raised ethical issues for NC.
* Biotechnology affects all areas of our lives: food, water, medicine and shelter.

Abiotic Factors: (non-living)--sunlight, water, air
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Thursday May 14, 2020
Ecosystems are complex, interactive systems that include both biological communities (biotic) ad physical (abiotic) components of the environment.
* Factors such as food, water, shelter, and space affect populations in an ecosystem.
* Energy can change from one form to another in living things.
*Organisms get energy from oxidizing their food, releasing some of its energy as
thermal energy.
* Almost all food energy comes originally from sunlight.
*In all environments, organisms with similar needs may compete with one another for limited resources, including food, space, water, air and shelter.
Biotic Factors: (living)--plants and animals
3 Main Types of Symbiotic Relationships
Predator/Prey
Mutualism: both organisms benefit
*In any ecosystem, organisms and populations with similar requirements for food, water, oxygen, or other resources may compete with each other for limited
resources.
*There are several types of relationships that exist between organisms: predation, competition, symbiosis
Symbiotic Relationships
Commensalism: One organism benefits the other is neither harmed or helped
Parasitic: one organism lives off another, one organism is harmed (host);the other organism benefits (parasite).
Don't Break the Bank: Summary Writing
Assignment
Words are at a premium these days, and messages are capped even on tweets and cell phone text messages. At ten cents per word, you have three dollars to spend on a message to explain the concept: Biotic, A-Biotic, Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitic Relationship.
Explain the concept in 25-30 words.
Create a multi-colored illustration that shows the key points of your topic.
Write two paragraphs explaining how the illustration and message are related to your topic.

Food Chains
A food chain is the simplest path that energy takes through an ecosystem. Energy enters an ecosystem from the Sun. Each level in the transfer of energy through an ecosystem is called a trophic level. The organisms in each trophic level use some of the energy in the process of cellular respiration, lose energy due to heat loss, and store the rest.
Food Web
A food web represents many interconnected food chains describing the various paths that energy takes through an ecosystem. The energy
available in an ecosystem can be illustrated with a food web diagram.
Energy Pyramid
An energy pyramid represents the energy available for each trophic level in an ecosystem.
The energy needs of organisms are greater from level to level in an ecosystem.
Therefore, the total amount of energy available at each level decreases in an ecosystem.
Each successive level in an ecosystem can support fewer numbers of organisms than the one below. With each level of the
pyramid, only 10% of the energy available is used by organisms while there is an energy loss of about 90% to the
environment.
First trophic level: Producers
Second trophic level: Primary consumers
Third trophic level: Secondary consumers
