Study Notes
Body Systems
- Skeletal System: Provides support and protects internal organs. Composed of bones.
- Muscular System: Responsible for movement. Composed of muscles.
- Nervous System: Controls and coordinates bodily functions. Composed of nerve cells, including the brain and sensory organs.
- Respiratory System: Facilitates oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal.
- Circulatory System: Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body. Composed of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
- Excretory System: Eliminates waste products from the body through organs like the liver, kidneys, bladder, skin, and lungs.
- Digestive System: Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.
Factors Affecting the Ecosystem
- Biotic Factors: All living organisms within an ecosystem, including plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.
- Abiotic Factors: Non-living components of an ecosystem, such as temperature, sunlight, water, and soil.
- Habitat: The specific place where an organism lives.
- Biomes: Large-scale ecosystems characterized by specific climate and vegetation, such as forests, deserts, and grasslands.
- Producers: Organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, such as plants.
- Consumers: Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms, such as animals.
- Decomposers: Organisms that break down dead organisms and waste, such as bacteria and fungi.
Food Chains and Webs
- Food Chain: A linear sequence showing the transfer of energy from one organism to another.
- Food Web: A complex network of interconnected food chains, representing the flow of energy within an ecosystem.
- Ecosystem Changes: Can occur due to natural events (e.g., floods, fires) or human activities (e.g., pollution, habitat destruction).
Threats to the Ecosystem
- Extinction: The complete disappearance of a species.
Protecting the Ecosystem
- Afforestation: Planting trees to restore forests.
- Recycling: Reprocessing materials to reduce waste and conserve resources.
