• 4.Which level of the energy/biomass pyramid contains the most
energy/biomass?
• 5.) Which level of the energy/biomass pyramid contains the least

Community interactions
Community Interactions:
Symbiosis
• A close and permanent
association between
organisms of different
species
• Commensalism – a
relationship in which one
organism benefits and the
other is not affected
• Example: Barnacles on a
whale
29
Community interactions
• Mutualism – a relationship in
which both organisms benefit
from each other
• Example: Birds eating pest off a
rhino’s back
• Parasitism – A relationship in
which one organism benefits and
the other is harmed
• Example: Ticks on a dog
30
Community interactions
• Competition - a relationship
where both organisms compete
for the same energy source
• Example: a rabbit and a deer
competing for grass, plants
competing for light
• Predation - a relationship where
one organism preys upon another
• Example: a wolf hunting a rabbit
31
• Community interactions summary

ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS
and the Transfer of Energy in
Ecosystems
Which animals are at each level?
What type of ecological niche do
they each belong to?
Ecological Pyramids:
graphs which
illustrate the
trophic levels in
a community.
Most ecological pyramids are large at
the base and narrow at the top.
This is because every time
that an organism is eaten by
the next trophic level, some
of the energy is lost as heat.
Less Energy
More Energy
3 TYPES OF PYRAMIDS:
1. Pyramid of Biomass
2. Pyramid of Energy
3. Pyramid of Numbers
Pyramid of Biomass:
• Illustrates the amount of biomass in each trophic level
– Biomass weight is determined after dehydration
• Shows the amount
of matter lost
between trophic
levels.
• Measured in Kg,
grams or pounds
Pyramid of Biomass
Pyramid of Biomass
Pyramid of Energy:
• Shows the energy available at each trophic level.
– The size of the blocks represents the proportion of
productivity
– Measured in Joules or Calories
Pyramid of Energy:
• Most of the energy available to the community is in
the 1st trophic level.
• Only 10-20% of the energy is available to the next
trophic level (≈ 90% lost)
Pyramid of Numbers:
• Illustration of the number of organisms at each
level
What kind
of Pyramid
is this?
Energy, the trophic
levels are
measured in
Kilocalories
Human Population Growth
How can more people be supported on Earth
when there is a limited supply of resources?
It depends on what they are eating…
Mini-Quiz 10/10
•
1. What does a biomass pyramid illustrate?
•
2. If a 150 pound animal ate nothing but plants, estimate how many pounds
of plant material it takes to build 150 pounds of animal biomass.
•
3. If a 150 carnivore ate nothing but herbivores, estimate how many pounds
of plant material it takes to build 150 pounds of carnivore biomass.
•
4. Which category of organisms contain the most biomass on a biomass
pyramid?
•
5. Which category of organisms contain the least biomass on a biomass
pyramid?

In ecology, what does it mean if an
organism is a producer?

Food web posters due Thursday
Food Chains
and Food Webs
What is a food chain?
• A food chain is “a sequence of
organisms, each of which uses
the next, lower member of the
sequence as a food source”
Important facts about food
chains
• In a food chain each
organism obtains energy
from the one at the level
below.
• Plants are called producers
because they create their
own food through
Primary Producers
• Primary producers are
“organisms capable of
producing their own food”
• We can also say that they are
photosynthetic, use light
energy.
Primary Producers
• Examples of primary producers
include algae, phytoplankton, and
large plants.
• Primary producers are eaten by
primary consumers (herbivores)
Important facts about food
chains
• Animals are consumers
because they cannot create
their own food, they must eat
plants or other animals to get
the energy that they need.
Four types of consumer
• Herbivores: animals that eat only plants.
• Carnivores: animals that eat only other
animals.
• Omnivores: animals that eat animals and
plants.
• Detritivores: Animals that eat dead
materials and organic wastes
Other Ways to Classify
Consumers
1. Primary Consumers: Herbivores3.
2. Secondary Consumers: Carnivores that
eat herbivores3.
3. Tertiary Consumers: Carnivores that eat
other carnivores3.
Mini-Quiz 10/9
• 1. 2 examples of producers
• 2. 2 examples of herbivores
• 3. 2 examples of carnivores
4. 2 examples of omnivores
• 5. 2 examples of detritivores
