Biology can be studied at different levels, from sub-atomic particles to entire ecosystems. At the smallest level of study are molecules like water, DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleotides. The largest system studied is the biosphere, which contains all ecosystems and can be viewed from satellites. Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food using sunlight, while heterotrophs obtain energy from food. Adaptations are inherited traits that increase an organism's chances of survival, such as long legs, eyelashes, and fat storage.

Adaptations Year 8
An adaptation is a characteristic that allows an organism to survive in its environment. There are three main types of adaptations: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Adaptations include physical traits like camouflaged feathers that help the tawny frogmouth blend into trees to avoid predators, as well as behavioral traits like ringtail possums being nocturnal to avoid predators that are active at night. Organisms are adapted to survive in their environments through traits related to finding food, protection from predators, and reproduction.
Internship Blandy Exptl Farm (Nsf Reu)
The document summarizes an undergraduate ecology research internship that the author participated in at Blandy Experimental Farm in Virginia from June to August 2004. As part of the internship, the author conducted a research project investigating predator-prey interactions between dragonfly larvae and freshwater snails. The research involved setting up experimental mesocosms to study the effects of different predator types on the survival, growth, and avoidance behaviors of various snail species and sizes. The results showed differences in predation effects and anti-predator responses among the predator and prey types tested.
Animal & plant adaptations, Leah
Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their back legs that act as springs, allowing them to travel long distances expending little energy. Their size and shape also allows them to be strong swimmers to survive seasonal flooding. Kangaroo paws have roots that absorb moisture and minerals from the soil, passing it to the stem and leaves where it is stored. Their leaves provide a perch for birds to land on and pollinate the plant.

Ecology is the study of interactions between living organisms and their environment. It examines both biotic factors like plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as abiotic factors such as sunlight, water, and soil. Ecology views environments holistically and studies the complex relationships within and between populations in an ecosystem. Organisms depend on each other through food webs, with plants and algae as primary producers, herbivores and omnivores as primary consumers, and carnivores and decomposers recycling nutrients and matter. Ecology analyzes these interactions across different levels of organization from organisms and populations to communities, ecosystems, and the global biosphere.

Reproduction can occur asexually through cell splitting or sexually through the joining of cells containing different genetic material from each parent. DNA contains the universal genetic code that is passed down from generation to generation and allows organisms to adapt over time through the process of evolution.

P.p. levels of organization #5
- 1. Biology is divided into many different levels of study
- 3. The smallest part of living things is sub-atomic matter
- 4. But for our study, we will start with the smallest level of study as molecules Water DNA Proteins Carbohydrates -Lipids (fats) -Nucleotides
- 5. The largest system of study is the biosphere The biosphere contains all the ecosystems Scientists can view the biosphere from satellites to gain valuable data.
- 6. Review: Other terms to know Autotrophs - organisms that capture energy from the sun & use it to produce their own food. -Also called producers
- 7. Heterotrophs Organisms that obtain energy from foods it consumes Also called a consumer
- 8. Adaptation Inherited characteristics that increases an organism’s chance of survival
- 9. Adaptations= traits for survival Long eyelashes & ears lined with hair for protection from blowing sand. Snowshoe effect prevents sinking in sand as the body weight rests on sole pads . Long legs allows animal to travel great distances Fat stored in humps helps animal t survive periods without food, metabolizes fat produces water as a byproduct
