What Shapes an Ecosystem? Ecosystems are made up of: * Biotic factors- all living parts of an ecosystem (plants‚ animals‚ bacteria) * Abiotic factors- all nonliving (but natural) parts of an ecosystem (soil‚ wind‚ water) These factors together (biotic and abiotic) determine which types of organisms can live in that particular ecosystem. A habitat- the place where an organism lives- includes both biotic and abiotic factors A niche includes both the habitat of an organism and its unique

SCIENCE CELL – STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS Cell – Structure and Functions Cell as the Basic Unit of Life The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms. It is the smallest part of the body of an organism‚ is capable of independent existence and is able to perform the essential functions of life. Discovery of the Cell Robert Hooke observed cork cells under a simple microscope designed by him. He observed compartments resembling honeycombs and each compartment

process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. Within any community some species may become less abundant over some time interval‚ or they may even vanish from the ecosystem altogether. Similarly‚ over some time interval‚ other species within the community may become more abundant‚ or new species may even invade into the community from adjacent ecosystems. This observed change over time in what is living in a particular ecosystem is "ecological succession". why

Topic 1: Ecosystems at Risk A. Ecosystems and Their Management 2. Vulnerability and Resilience of Ecosystems * Vunerability is the sensitivity of an ecosystem to cope with stress. * Resilience is the ability of an ecosystem (or a component of an ecosystem) to adapt to a changing environment and to restore function and structure following an episode of natural or human-induced stress. * All ecosystems function in a state of dynamic equilibrium or a continual state of balanced change

carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. In order to function most efficiently‚ haemoglobin needs to bind to oxygen tightly when the oxygen concentration is high in the lungs and be able to release oxygen rapidly in the relatively low partial pressure in the tissues. I will be comparing the structure and function of haemoglobin with the structure and function of collagen‚ which is a structural protein. Collagen’s functions are quite different from those of globular proteins such as enzymes;

Structure and Function of the Human Digestive System By Caitlin Ong Organs of the Digestive System Mouth Structure: The mouth consists of the upper and lower jaw‚ that contain gums which hold teeth‚ the roof of the mouth is the palate and the tongue occupies the floor of the mouth. The salivary glands have ducts that open in the mouth. Function: The mouth is where the first step of digestion begins. Known as mechanical digestion‚ this involves chewing with your teeth to break the food

Observing Ecosystems Ecosystems-The sums of all the organisms living within its boundaries and all the abiotic factors with which they interact. Chemical Elements such as carbon and Nitrogen are cycled among abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. Photosynthetic organisms assimilate these elements in inorganic form from the air‚ soil‚ and water and incorporate them into their biomass‚ some of which is consumed by animals. Both energy and matter are transformed in ecosystems throught

In the ecosystem project‚ there are three chambers. The three chambers in our ecosystem are aquatic‚ decomposition and terrestrial. We formed a hypothesis about what would happen to the biotic factors in each chamber of the ecosystem. For the aquatic chamber‚ we stated that the fish would die if the fish did not receive enough oxygen and enough food in the tank. The decomposition chamber did not have a lot of changes much because there is no activity or life in that chamber besides the the potato
