Ecology - Science that deals with the interaction between organisms and the environment in which they live .
3 Different approaches to ecology :
A. Descriptive approach - Making field observations and conclusions, and then testing hypotheses elsewhere . She lays the foundation for functional ecology asks vital " How the system works ? "
Two. Theoretical approach - Examining ecological questions and does not rely necessarily on observational data or attempts . First build a model and only brother " As testing ground .
Three. Experimental approach - Examining ecological questions or observations from experiments conducted in the field or laboratory - By " S by the investigator's intervention " J. manipulation .
Very difficult to make qualitative predictions in ecology - There are many unpredictable variables .
( Ecosystem - The basic unit of ecology , Complete functional unit functioning on its own even if it is affected by interacting with the environment ( Ecosystem) .
( Ecosystem components includes a - Cruises ( Wind , Water , Temperature ',Humidity ) And components cruises ( Ltd. " H and organisms ).
( Habitat - ( Hbitot / The animals / Biotope ) A place characterized by a combination Particular Environmental factors ( Conditions and resources )Ecosystem consists of a mosaic of habitats . Many kinds of habitats =Heterogeneous system .

Super predators - The chain / Food pyramid :
Evaluation of secondary production efficiency - Elephants, for example , Largest land mammal . Consume about 10% Food from the area where the elephant energy produces live . Manure , Energy utilization and leaving only basic Mtabolizim 7.1 K. " C increase in offspring .
The conclusion - Let him devour the elephant who will only 10% What he ate it 1%Living space made .
Secondary production efficiency of the Elephants 10% Elephants
