Progress of the reaction
It prevents wastes, which would
cause problems, from
accumulating.
It assures that the ecosystem will
not run out of essential elements.
1. Begin with a CO2.
2 Photosynthesis
3. Food chains
4. Cell respiration
All organisms are made of
roughly the same organic
molecules in similar
proportions
A measure of their dry weight
is a rough measure of the
energy they contain.

multiplied by the weight of an
average individual in it
Gives an estimate of the
weight of the population.

Corn
Biomagnification
 The increase of the concentration of a
substance that occurs in the food chain.
 Substances - pesticides or heavy metals
 The substances become concentrated in
tissues or internal organs because the
substances are very slowly metabolized
or excreted.
Only about 10% of the energy
stored at each trophic level is
available to the next level
Eutrophication
 Occurs when a body of water acquires a high
concentration of nutrients (phosphates and
nitrates).
 This increases amount of algae in water.
 As the algae die/decompose, high levels of
organic matter and the decomposing
organisms deplete the oxygen from the water.
 This causes the death of other organisms
(fish).
Greenhouse Gases
 Carbon Dioxide – fossil fuels, solid waste,
trees
 Methane – production and transportation of
coal, natural gas, and oil
 Nitrous Oxide – agricultural and industrial
 Fluorinated gases – industrial, commercial,
and household uses
Fossil Fuels
Fuels formed from remains of
plants and animals
Ex: Natural gas, oil coal
Ozone Layer
•Ozone - 0₃ - naturally
occurring in the
stratosphere
•Ozone layer - Protects
earth from ultra violet
rays
•CFC’s –– destroy ozone
by releasing chlorine into
the atmosphere
 Atmospheric CO2 is reflecting heat back
down to the planet’s surface.
 Only by phasing out coal use, ending
deforestation and reducing the use of
other fossil fuels can the numbers be
reversed.
Other Causes
 Clear cutting of
forests
 Increased use of
fossil fuels
 Methane pollution
Deforestation
 Removal of a forest/trees where the land is
thereafter converted to a non-forest use
 Trees may be cut down to be used or sold as fuel
 Cleared land is used as pasture for livestock,
plantations of commodities and settlements.
 Results in damage to habitat and loss of
biodiversity.
 It has adverse impacts on using of atmospheric
CO2, causing a buildup.
Greenhouse Effect
 Car in summer
 Greenhouse gases absorb some the
energy radiated from the earth and
trap it in the atmosphere.
 Human activities have INCREASED
the amount of greenhouse gases
 Animal: Heterotrophs – consume
food
 Plants: Autotrophs – make their
own food
 Fungus: Heterotrophs/
Decomposers – absorb food

Photosynthesis
 Carbon Dioxide + Water 
Glucose + Oxygen
Photosynthesis
 Green plants and algae use the
solar energy and molecules of CO2
into sugar/starch and 02.
 CO2 + H20  C6H12O6 + O2
Photosynthesis Recap
Primary Productivity
 is the production of organic
compounds from atmospheric
or aquatic CO2 through the
process of photosynthesis
Cellular
Respiration
Occurs primarily in the mitochondria
 Aerobic breakdown of glucose into
CO2 and H20
 C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H20 + energy
Meiosis
Occurs in plants and animals
that reproduce sexually.
Usually occurs in specialized
sex organs - Ovaries, Testes
Haploid
 Found in gametes
 n=?
 Cells formed in meiosis
Diploid
 Found in somatic cells
 Fertilized egg
 2n =?
 Cells formed in Mitosis
Prophase I
Chromosomes form
Homologous pairs come
together
Crossing Over occurs
Principle of
Independent
Assortment
The inheritance of alleles
for one trait does not affect
the inheritance of alleles
for another trait
Principle of
Segregation
1.Heredity characteristics
are determined by distinct
units
Principle of
Segregation
2.For each characteristic,
an individual carries 2
factors, one inherited
from each parent
Principle of
Segregation
3.The 2 factors of
each pair segregate
from each other and
end up in gametes
 Frederick Griffith - studying 2 strains of
bacteria

1 causes pneumonia, 1 harmless

The direct manipulation of
genes for practical
purposes
Cloning
 Nuclear Transplantation: replaces the nucleus of
an egg cell or a zygote with a nucleus of an adult
somatic cell
 Cells divides  creates blastocyst
 Reproductive Cloning: If animal is a mammal, the
blastocyst is implanted into uterus for further
development
 Therapeutic Cloning: Produce embryonic stem
cells for therapeutic treatments
Recombinant DNA Technology
 Combining genes from different
sources into a single DNA
molecule
 Can use different species
 Often uses plasmids
Recombinant DNA
 DNA from two different sources
are combined into the same DNA
PCR
 Polymerase Chain Reaction
 DNA is copied many times in a
test tube.
 Process can generate 100 billion
copies of DNA in 4 hours
Gel Electrophoresis
Human Genome Project
 The main goals were to provide a complete
and accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA
base pairs that make up the human genome
and to find all of the estimated 20,000 to
25,000 human genes.
Speciation
Evolution of a new
species
Adaptation
 Product of Natural Selection
 Change usually is caused by
mutation
 Structures or behaviors that make
efficient use of environment
Selection
Natural
 Survival of the
fittest
 Those with the
best adaptations,
survive and
reproduce
Artificial
 Done by us
 Typically done by
breeders or
geneticists
 Select desirable traits
and breed those
individuals with
those traits
Allopatric
Speciation
Speciation due to being
separated by a geographic
barrier
Sympatric Speciation
 New species develop without
geographic isolation
 Formation of a new species as a
result of a genetic change that
produces reproductive barriers
 Mostly in plants
Parapatric Speciation
Speciation that occurs due to
variations in the mating habits
or rituals of a population
within a continuous
geographical area.
Punctuated Equilibrium
 Abrupt Changes in species within very
long periods of equillibrium
 Evolutionary changes happens radidly
 Trilobites, some dinosaurs
Divergent Evolution
 The process by which an interbreeding population
or species diverges into two or more descendant
species.
 Occurs when a group from a specific population
develops into a new species
