Photosynthesis is the process in which green
plants make food from the water and carbon and
dioxide they take in.

Oxygen is a gas that has no color or smell.
Oxygen is the most common chemical element in the
world. Water is mostly oxygen, and the air is
about 1/5 of oxygen. All people, animals, and
plants need oxygen to live.

11
Respiration is the act of breathing in and out.
Back
12
Carbon Dioxide is a heavy, colorless, odorless
gas found in the atmosphere or formed when any
fuel containing carbon is burned. The air that
is breathed out of an animals lungs contains
carbon dioxide.

Life Cycle of Plants
The plant begins as an embryo inside a seed.
Each flower produces a seed, which can turn into
a fruit.
The embryo grows into a seedling.
The seedling grows into a mature pea plant with
flowers.
15
Annuals germinate, grow, reproduce, and die
within one year. A main purpose in their life is
to reproduce.
Biennials take two years to complete their life
cycle. The first year, their purpose in life is
to survive. The second year, their purpose is to
produce seeds.
Perennials live for longer than two years.
Perennials reproduce by seeds, but if their roots
are cut, they may also grow into new plants.

Life Cycle of Frogs
18
A frog starts life in an egg.
19
A tadpole comes from the egg.
20
The tadpole slowly changes into a frog.
21
Finally there is a frog.
22
Ladybugs
Ladybugs, also known as ladybirds and ladybird
beetles, are not just attractive, but helpful to
farmers because they eat the tiny plant eating
bugs that destroy crops.
Ladybugs come in a variety of colors and
patterns. There more than 4,000 varieties of
ladybugs in the world and about 400 in the United
States alone.
23
Life Cycle of the Ladybug
24
Butterflies
25
Stage 1
The egg is the first stage of a butterflys life.
26
Stage 2
Stage 2 is the caterpillar.
27
Stage 3
The caterpillar spins a chrysalis. This is the
third stage.
28
Stage 4
The fourth and last stage is the adult.

Ocean Food Chain

• There are four major components that make up the
  ocean food chain.
• Sun
• Producers
• Consumers
• Decomposers

Ocean Food Chain

• Sunlit Zone
• Photoplankton
• Zooplankton
• Man O War
• Mackerel
• Twilight Zone
• Viperfish
• Dark Zone
• Anglerfish
• Abyss
• Trenches

• Bluefin Tuna
• Dolphin
• Sperm Whale
• Thresher Shark

• Gulper Eel

• Lantern Fish

Six Principals of Ecology
42
Life Materials Continuously Cycle LIFE LIVES IN
CIRCLES Life materials are elements such as
Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogenthis is the
stuff we are made of and they are shared by all
lives and used over and over again. Death is
Earth's original recycling planEach death makes
shared life-materialsavailable to new lives.
43
Life is Powered by a Flow of Energy from the
Sun Sunlight drives photosynthesis,the
foundation of animal life Chlorophyll Sun
Water Carbon Dioxide convert light into
packagedsun-energy called food. Plant-packaged
sun-energytransfers from life to life through
the food chain. Solar heat drives the water
cycle,the winds, the ocean currents.
44
All Lives Seek Balance Living Systems are
self-regulating. Lives regulate their internal
conditionsto achieve homeostasis andharmonize
with their environments. Biodiversity creates
flexibility in ecosystems,which allows them to
maintaina dynamic equilibrium.
45
All Lives Transform Change is continuous
everywhere. The forms of lives change over
timethrough symbiosis and adaptation. The
forms of communities change over time through
coevolution and succession. Each life changes
form in its lifetime.
46
All Lives Interlive For mutual benefit,lives
find ways to live withand within each other. 
All lives depend on each other. Symbiosis is
the rule, not the exception.Interliving is a
basic organizing pattern of life.
47
We All Belong to the Whole, The Biosphere The
biosphere is the membrane of life and its
products which envelops earth. The biosphere is
place, process, and community.  Much of earth's
crust and air was created by life both are parts
of the biosphere  The more kinds of lives in a
community, the stronger and more flexible it
is this is biodiversity
