AUTOTROPHS (PRODUCERS)
- synthesize food from sunlight or chemicals

HETEROTROPHS (CONSUMERS)
- gain energy from feeding on other organisms

LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
ENERGY FLOW
- energy flows through an ecosystem starting from the sun,
then to the producers and consumers. At each level, some of
the energy is lost as heat
![Page 9: Biosphere - the part of the atmosphere that contains living things Ecosystem - all the organisms in an environment (community) plus the nonliving physical](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f285503460f94c404b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Food Webs (& Food Chains)
- illustrate flow of energy
in a system
Plants Caterpillars
Sparrows Hawks
Trophic levels - the level of
nourishment within a chain
or a web, there should be
fewer organisms as you
go up each level

Frogs are BIOINDICATORS
The health of a frog population mirrors the health and pollution levels of the environment

The Sticky Topic of Global Warming
The temperature of the earth has changed since we
have been recording weather data. The question is: Is
the change part of a natural cycle, or is it caused by
humans?
![Page 25: Biosphere - the part of the atmosphere that contains living things Ecosystem - all the organisms in an environment (community) plus the nonliving physical](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f285503460f94c404b2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Other Issues
ACID RAIN - largely a result of pollution which caused water to become slightly acidic
emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)react with atmospheric water and oxygen

Loss of Diversity
There are a lot of different names for this one:
- endangered species- habitat destruction- extinction
The U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973 attempted to identify and protect species that were on the verge of extinction
Recovery plans were enacted for many species and have seen success in some cases (Gray Wolf, Bald Eagle) - all managed by the E.P.A
![Page 27: Biosphere - the part of the atmosphere that contains living things Ecosystem - all the organisms in an environment (community) plus the nonliving physical](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f285503460f94c404b2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal laws designed to protect the environment and manage wildlife resources
1. Endangered Species Act2. Clean Air Act3. Animal Welfare Act
The E.P.A. has often gone against other groups in the country, such as corporate industry, ranching, logging, and farming.
The current issues with climate change has the E.P.A. poised to limit carbon emissions. Good or bad idea?
