The living parts of an ecosystem are called BIOTIC factors

1
Biotic VS. Abiotic

• The living parts of an ecosystem are called
  BIOTIC factors
• Examples 6 Kingdoms,trees, plants, flowers,
  insects, animals

2
Biotic VS. Abiotic

• The non-living things in an
• ecosystem are called ABIOTIC
• factors
• Examples water, rocks, soil, air,
  temperature, wind, carbon dioxide, nutrients,
  sunlight.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 6 KINGDOMS OF LIFE
4
Alive?

• To be considered living, an organism must
• Contain all 7 characteristics of life
• DNA
• Reproduce
• Use energy
• Adapt
• Respond to Stimuli
• Made of cells
• Grow and Develop

5
Animal Kingdom
Food Cannot make their own food.
Multi-cellular organisms
Reproduction Asexual and sexual
Examples Humans, crustaceans, spiders, insects,
fish, birds, mammals, sponges, hydras, coral,
worms, etc.
6
Examples of Animals
Sea horse
Sea anemone
butterfly
Great White Shark
Poison Dart frog
hydra
human

Plant Kingdom
Food make their own food by photosynthesis.
Multi-cellular
Reproduction Sexually and asexually
Examples rose, cactus, grass, daisy, ferns,
trees
9
Examples of Plant Kingdom
10
Kingdom Fungi
Food do not make their own food.
Decomposers
Unicellular and multicellular.
Reproduction Sexual and Asexual
Examples yeast, mushrooms, mold, mildew,
athletes foot, ringworm
11
Examples of Fungi
Athletes Foot
Bread mold
mushroom
yeast
Bread mold magnified
Foot Fungus
ringworm
12
Kingdom Protists
Food Some make their own food (plantlike)
others cannot (animal-like).
Unicellular and Multi-cellular
Reproduction Asexual Sexual
Examples Euglena, paramecium, amoeba, slime
mold, volvox, algae,diatoms, giant kelp
13
Examples of Protists
Paramecium
Algae
Amoeba
Volvox
Stentor
Euglena
Red algae
14
KINGDOM EUBACTERIA
Food Some can make their own food other
cannot.
Unicellular organisms.
Reproduction asexual
Roles decomposers, food makers, help digest
food, clean oil spills, makes nitrogen rich
soil(helps plants grow), etc.
15
Examples of Eubacteria
Anthrax
Staph
Strep
Bacteria help digest food
E. Coli
Blue green algae
16
Kingdom Archaebacteria
This hot, sulfur-rich, acidic pool in Yellowstone
National Park is home to species of Archea, 
including Sulfolobus.
Some archaens live 1000s of miles deep in the
ocean near superheated volcanic vents.
17
KINGDOM ARCHAEBACTERIA
Food- Some cannot make their own food others
do.
Unicellular organisms
Reproduction asexual
Three main types salt loving, heat loving, and
methane makers, harsh environments

ABIOTIC FACTORS

• Sunlight
• Plants need the sunlight to make glucose by
  photosynthesis.
• Without plants, the food chain dies.
• Sunlight produces heat that changes the
  temperature of the Earths atmosphere and surface.

20
ABIOTIC FACTORS

• Water
• Organisms are mostly made of water. The
  cytoplasm of cells are mostly water.
• Plants need water to do photosynthesis.

21
ABIOTIC FACTORS
Climate Includes the average temperature and
rainfall for a region. All organisms are adapted
for the climate they live. Climate determines
the different biomes.
22
ABIOTIC FACTORS

• Soil
• Plants need the soil for the
• nutrients and water it provides. NOT FOOD!!!.
• Many animals live in the soil.
• The type of soil in an area determines the types
  of plants and animals that can live in the area.
  
• EX Venus Flytraps

23
ABIOTIC FACTORS Severe Disturbances
1. Fire Fire can be good or bad. It destroys
habitat and food. Some plants need a fire for
their seeds to germinate.
2. Hurricanes 3. Volcanoes 4. Floods 5. Storms 6.
Droughts
24
ABIOTIC FACTORS

• Introduced Species
• Humans sometimes move organisms to a location
  where they do not belong. Sometimes they die, but
  often they prosper.
• If the organism has no predators, then its
  population will grow. An example of this
  occurring this the kudzu plant. It was
  transplanted to American and nothing eats it
  here. So, it grows out of
• control.
