Parts of an Ecosystem
, An ecosystem has abiotic components such as oxygen, water, nutrients, light, and soil
that interact with biotic components such as plants, animals, and micro-organisms.
Within ecosystems are habitats.
, A habitat is the place in which an organism lives.
Abiotic Interactions in Ecosystems
, Abiotic components of an ecosystem includes non living substances such as oxygen,
water, nutrients, light, and soil.
, Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are chemicals that are required for plant
and animal growth.
, Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that converts solar energy into chemical energy
usable by plants.
, Soil is an important part of terrestrial ecosystems. It provides nutrients for plants and
supports many species of small organisms.
Biotic Interactions in Ecosystems
, A species is a group of closely related organisms that can reproduce with one another.
, population refers to all the members of a particular species within an ecosystem.
, A community is all the populations of the different species that interact in a species
area or ecosystem.
, These biotic interactions are sometimes ordered in an ecological hierarchy of
organism, population, community, and ecosystem.
Biotic Interactions in Populations
, Three kinds of interactions in ecosystems are commensalisms, mutualism, and
parasitism
Symbiotic Relationships
, Symbiosis refers to the interaction between members of two different species that live
together in a close association.
Commensalism
Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits
and the other species is neither helped nor harmed.
Mutualism
Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both organism benefit.
Parasitism
Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits and
another is harmed.
Niches

contributes to and fits into its environment.
- 2 -
Competition
, Competition is a harmful interaction between two or more organism that can occur
when organisms compete for the same resource (such as food) in the same location at
the same time.
Predation
, in ecology, predation is the term used to describe predator-prey interactions in which
one organism (the predator) eats all or part of another organism (the prey).
Biodiversity in Ecosystems

How Pollutants Climb the Food Chain
, Human activity can make natural disturbances such as forest fires and insect
infestation much more worse. One of the biggest changes have been the introduction
into the environment of synthetic (human made) chemicals.
- 5 -
Bioaccumulation
, It is the gradual build up of these chemicals in living organisms.
, Chemicals enter through by food intake, skin contact, or respiration.
, Keystone species are species that can affect population numbers and health of an
ecosystem.
, Biomagnifications is the process in which chemicals not only accumulate but become
more concentrated at each tropic level
PCBs and the Orca
, PCB’s (polychlorinated biphenyls) are synthetic chemicals that were widely used
from 1930-1970 in industrial products such as heat exchange fluid, paint, plastic, and
for electrical transformers.
, Half life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance to decrease by half.
Persistent Organic Pollutants
, PCBs belong in a class of compounds called Persistent Organic Pollutants
, (POPs).they are carbon-containing compounds that remain in water and soil for many
years.
, Chemical accumulation is measured in parts per million(ppm).one ppm means one
particle of a given substance mixed with 999 999 other particles.
Heavy Metals
, They are metallic elements with a high density that are toxic to organisms at low
concentrations. Within the biosphere, they do not degrade and cannot be destroyed.
Lead
, It is naturally present in all soils, generally in the range of 15 ppm to 40 pmm.
However, these levels have increased due to human activities.
Cadmium
, It is found in earth’s crust and in released into the environment through rock
weathering, volcanoes, and forest fires.
Mercury
, Every year, up to 6000 tonnes of mercury are released through natural sources such as
volcanoes, geothermal springs, and rock weathering.

Reducing the Effects of Chemical Pollution
, Scientist are constantly working to find new ways to solve these problems, one
method is to trap it into soil.
, Bioremediation is the use of living organisms (usually micro-organisms) to do the
clean up naturally, only faster through biodegradation.
3.1 How Changes Occur Naturally In Ecosystems (p.108)
Words to know
, Adaptative radiation
, Climax community
, Ecological succession
, Natural selection
How Organisms Adapt To Change
, Living organisms change as the abiotic and biotic components in their environment
change. The process that makes change possible in living things is called natural
selection.
How Ecosystems Change Over Time
, Ecosystems are continually changing. The types of species that live in an ecosystem
change as the abiotic factors in the ecosystem change.
, Ecological succession is the term scientists use to refer to changes that take place over
time in the types of organisms that live in the area. There are two types of ecological
succession: primary succession and secondary succession.
Primary Succession
, Primary succession occurs in an area where no soil exists, such ad on bare rock.
, Natural events such as retreating glaciers can scrape existing rock bare, or new rock
can form when lava cools after a volcanic eruption. As dead lichens decay, they also
add organic matter to the developing soil.
Mature Communities
, The process of primary succession leads to the development of a mature community,
which is sometimes called a climax community. Boreal
- 7 -
, Forests, tropical rainforests, grasslands, and deserts are examples of climax
communities . Previously ecologist s thought that climax communities would remain
unchanged indefinitely.
Secondary succession
, Secondary succession occurs as a result of a disturbance to an area that already has a
soil and was once the home of living organisms. Secondary succession occurs much
faster than primary succession because soil and nutrient already exist. While primary
succession may take hundreds of years to succession may take only decades.
Secondary succession often depends on the recovery of existing plants, such as trees,
and on species that can rapidly reproduce in new conditions of increased sunlight and
open areas.
How Natural Events Affect Ecosystems
, Large disturbances such as forest fires have an impact on mature communities and
result secondary succession.
Flooding
Flooding occurs in coastal areas , rivers, and lakes, when the volume of
water exceeds the ability of the water body contain it. Climate change may
be causing an increase in flooding in some parts of the world.
Tsunamis
Tsunami is the term used to describe a huge, rapidly moving ocean wave.
Tsunamis are usually caused by large earthquakes or underwater volcanic
eruptions.
Drought
Drought is recurring event in many parts of the world. Drought usually
occurs when there is a below-average amount if precipitation in an area
over a period of many months or years.
Insect Infestations
Insects play a major role in the natural succession of a forest. In a mature
coniferous forest, for example, the mountain pine beetle destroys older,
weaker pines. The dead trees provide food and shelter for some species,
and eventually the nutrients of the tree are recycled in the soil.

Understanding Sustainability
, Sustainability is recycling and reusing materials which are very important.
, Sustainability means to sustain ecological process, using material resources that
maintains ecosystem health for the future.
The Effects of land and Resource Use
, Use of land is usually used for urban development agriculture, industrial, ining and
forestry. Resource use is described as, using resources that we obtained. Resources
include, coal, timber, minerals, fish, manufactured goods, and agricultural products.
Habitat Loss
, Habitats that are destroyed, usually by human activities is the definition of Habitat
Loss
, When destroyed, habitats can no longer support the animals that lived there in the
past. Habitat loss usually leads to Habitat Fragmentation. Some habitats may not be
repaired.
, Habitat Fragmentation refers to land being divided into smaller groups it affects
wildlife because it tampers with, plant pollination, seed dispersal, wildlife movement,
animal reproduction, and plant reproduction.
The Effects of Deforestation
, Deforestation is the practice known which forest are logged or cleared for human use
and never replanted.
, Soil Degradation can occur when water and wind erosion removes topsoil from bare
land.
The Effects of Agriculture
- 9 -
, Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are squeezed together and the air spaces
between the particles are reduced . Aeration, in which small plugs of soil are
mechanically removed, is
, Compaction is one method that reduces run- off by improving the movement if air
and water though all.
The Effects of Resource Exploitation
, Resources use is also referred to as resource exploitation. Examples include
harvesting fish and timber, mining coal and minerals, and extracting oils and gas.
, Contamination is the introduction of chemicals, toxins, wastes, or micro-organisms
into the environment in concentrations that harmful to living things.
Overexploitation
Overexploitation is the use or extraction of resources until it is depleted.
Overexploitation can result in extinction. Extinction is the dying out of a
species.
The Effects of overexploitation on food webs
Overexploitation affects many interactions in food webs, and sometimes
the effects take decades to appear.
Resources Management and Traditional Ecological Knowledge

3.3 How Introduced Species Affect Ecosystems
Words to Know:
, Introduced species
, Invasive species
, Native species
The Impact of Introduced Invasive Species
, Native species are organisms that naturally inhabit an area.
, Introduced species or foreign species are introduced into an ecosystem and are
usually beneficial or harmless.
, Invasive species are organism that can take over the habitat of native species or
invade their bodies, weakens immune systems.
, Invasive species often have high reproduction rates, aggressive competitors and lack
natural predators in new habitats.
- 10 -
Competition
Introduced invasive species compete against native species for essential
resources such as food and habitat.
Predation
Predators can have more impact on a prey population than native predators
Yellow crazy ants devour all plants and also prey on the young of reptiles,
birds, and mammals.
Yellow ants have killed 20 million land crabs.
Red crabs are keystone species; they reduce leaf litter and recycle
nutrients for rainforest tree seedlings.
Disease and parasites
Invasion of parasites causes viruses and bacteria can weaken the immune
responses.
Weakening provides opportunities for less dominant species to out
compete other.
Habitat alteration
Invasive species can make a natural habitat unsuitable for native species
by changing its structure or composition.
- change the light levels
- decrease oxygen in water
- change soil chemistry
- increase soil erosion
- upset the balance of nutrient cycle
- pollination
- energy flow.
Saving an Ecosystem under Siege
, The Gulf Islands and pockets of the Fraser Valley are one of the most biologically
rich ecosystems and most threatened.
, Due to habitat loss, 5% of the original ecosystem remains relatively undisturbed.
, Major threat coming from introduced invasive species.
, One of the toughest species to control is scotch broom.
- bushy shrub produced up to 18 000 seeds per plant
- yellow flower attract bees for pollination
- well adapted for surviving drought
- 11 -
- fixes nitrogen in the soil
- Creates an overload of nitrogen that interferes with the growth of some
native species.
, Grey squirrel and the gypsy moth are animal invaders.
- grey squirrel out compete the red squirrels for acorns
- grey squirrel is also better adapted to survive habitat destruction
- gypsy moth larvae can strip the oak tree of leaves
o without leaves for photosynthesis, the tree eventually dies

Atomic Theory
, Subatomic particles are particles that make up an atom
, Scientist found that individual atoms are composed of 3 subatomic particle which are
protons, neutrons and electrons
- Protons are subatomic particles that have a 1+ electric charge
- Neutrons are subatomic particles that do not have an electric charge
- Electrons are subatomic particles that have a 1- electric charge
- Protons and neutrons are held tightly together at the centre of the atom
in a tiny region called the nucleus
- Electrons exist in the region around the nucleus in regular patterns
called shells or energy levels
- Most of the volume of an atom is the region occupied by its electrons
- Every neutral atom of the same element contains an equal number of
protons and electrons. Since a proton counts as a 1+ electric charge
and an electron counts as 1- electric charge, the charges add up to zero,
making an atom uncharged or neutral.
- 12 -
The Nucleus
, The centre of each atom is a nucleus
, Depending on element it would take between 10 000 and 100 000 nuclei lined up in a
row to stretch across the diameter of one atom
, The nuclei of atoms of all other elements contain both protons and neutrons. , Atoms with fewer than 30 protons the number of neutrons and the number of protons
present in the nucleus are roughly equal
, Extra neutrons help make the nucleus stable by keeping the protons as far apart as
possible
, High repulsion between the protons makes heavy atoms unstable
, Nuclear charge is the term given to the electric charge on the nucleus, and it is simply
found by counting the number of protons
, Nuclear charge is same as atomic number
Organization of the Periodic Table
, Each element is listed according to its atomic number, left to right across each row
and then row by row form top to bottom
, Row is called period each column is called group or family
, Metals are on the left side and in the middle of the table. Non-metals are in the upper
right corner. The metalloids form a staircase toward the right side , Elements in the same chemical group or family have similar chemical properties
- The alkali metals ( very reactive)
- The alkaline earth metals ( somewhat reactive metals )
- The halogens ( very reactive on metals)
- The noble gases ( very un-reactive gaseous none metals)
- The block of elements from group 3 through group 12 are collectively
called the transition metals. they include familiar elements such as iron
nickel copper silver and gold
The periodic table and ion formation
, When atoms gain or lose electrons they become electrically charged particles called
ions.
, Metals atoms for example lose electrons to form positively charged ions called
cations
, Common ions formed by elements are sometimes shown in the upper right hand
corner of the element’s box in the periodic table
, Some metals are multivalent , means they can form ions in more than one way
depending on the chemical reaction they undergo
, Most common charge is listed first at the top of the element’s box
, Non-metals also form ions
, Since non-metal atoms have less exceptions, gain electrons they form negative ions
called anions
- 13 -
Bohr Diagrams
, Bohr diagram is a diagram that shows how many electrons are in each shell
surrounding the nucleus
, Bohr’s diagram is named in honour of Niels Bohr a Danish physicist who developed
several models for showing the arrangements of electrons in atoms , The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons
, The second shell can hold up to 8 electrons
Patterns of Electron Arrangement in Period
, Period number of an element equals the number of occupied shells of it’s atom
, Elements in period one have 1 occupied shell
, Elements in period two have 2 occupied shells.
, As you move left to right on across period 2 1 more electron is added to the 2nd shell
of each atom
, Arrangement of eight electrons in the outermost shell is called a stable octet.( octet
refers to 8)
, Elements in period 3 have 3 shells.
Patterns of electron arrangement in groups
, Outermost shell that contains electrons is called the valence shell , Electrons in the valence shell is called the valence electrons , Valence electrons involved chemical bonding
, Atoms in group 1 only have 1 valence shell
, Atoms in group 2 have 2 valence shell
, Group 13 have 3 valence shell
, Group 14 have 4 electrons and so on thought group 8
, Electrons in completed shells appears in pairs
Forming compounds
, When two atoms move close together their valence electrons interact , Chemical bond forms between the atoms if the new arrangement of atoms and
electrons is stable
, Stability of atom ion or compounds is related to its energy ; lower the states are more
stable
, When an atom forms a compound it may acquire a valence shell like that it closet
noble gas in one of 3 ways
- Atoms of metal may lose electrons to other atoms forming cation
- Atom if non-metals may gain electron from other atom forming anions
- Atom may share electrons
Ionic bonding
, Compounds are 2 basic types ionic and covalent
, Ionic compound contains a positive charge and negative charge , Ionic bonding one more electrons transfer forms each atom of the metal to each atom
of the non metal
- 14 -
Covalent bonding
, Atoms of many non-metals shares electrons with other non-metal atoms
, Covalent bonding atoms overlap slightly and one unpaired electron from each atom
will pair together
, Both atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons forming a covalent bond
, Covalent compound is formed when non-metallic atoms share electrons to form
covalent bond
, Covalent molecule is a group of atoms in which the atoms are bound together by
sharing one or more pairs of electrons
, Pairs of electron involved in a covalent bond are sometimes called the bonding pair
, Pair of electrons in the valence shell that is not used in bonding is sometimes called
alone pair
Lewis diagram
, Diagram hat illustrates chemical bonding showing only an atom’s valence electron
and the chemical symbols
, Lewis diagrams are sometimes called Lewis structures or electron dot diagram
, Dots representing electrons are placed around the element symbols at the point of the
compass
, Electrons dots are placed singly until the fifth electron reached then they are paired
Lewis diagrams of ions
, You can uses theses rules to draw a ion in Lewis diagram
, Positive ion one electron dot is removed from the valence shell for each positive
charge of the ion.
, For negative ions one electron dot is added to each valence shell for each negative
charge of the ion
Lewis diagram of diatomic molecules
, You can use Lewis diagrams to help explain why some of the non-metal elements
exist as diatomic molecules.
, Diatomic molecule is a pair of atoms that are joined by covalent bonds
, Diatomic elements form this way because the two-atom molecules are more stable
than the individual atom

- 15 -
The Chemical name of an Ionic Compound
, Ionic Compounds are composed of positive and negative ions
, Ionic compounds can be described by using a name or a formula.
, One rule for the name of an ionic compound is that it has two parts, one for each type
of ion in it.
, The non-metal’s name always ends with the suffix “-ide.” E.g. Iodine is changed to
iodide.
The Chemical formula of an Ionic Compound
, The chemical formula of an ionic compound has a symbol to identify each ion.
, The formula also shows the number of ions each element has in a compound.
Naming Ionic Compounds
, Determining the name of an ionic compound is easy when you analyze the formula of
said ionic compound in three steps:
1. Name the metal ion.
2. Name the non-metal ion by ending the element name with the suffix “ide.”
3. Write the name of the compound.
Writing the Formulas of Ionic Compounds
, In an ionic compound, positive charges balance negative charges. One could use this
ratio to write subscripts in the formula. Writing the formulas of ionic compounds
containing two elements has four crucial steps:
1. Identify each ion and its charge.
2. Determine the total charges needed to balance positive with negative.
3. Note the ratio of positive ions to negative ions.
4. Use subscripts to write the formula. ( a 1 is not shown in subscripts)
Compounds Containing a Multivalent Metal
, Some metals are multivalent. This means that they can form ions in more than one
way, depending on the situation.
Formulas of Compounds Containing a Multivalent Metal
, Writing formulas of compounds containing a multivalent metal is simple when you
use these four steps:
1. Identify each ion and its charge.
2. Determine the total charges needed to balance positive with negative.
3. Note the ratio of positive ions to negative ions.
4. Use subscripts to write the formula. ( a 1 is not shown in subscripts)
Naming Compounds that contain a Multivalent Metal
, Use these six steps to name ionic compounds containing a multivalent metal:
1. Identify the metal.
2. Verify that it can form more than one kind of ion by checking the periodic table.
3. Determine the ratio of the ions in the formula.
4. Note the charge of the negative ion from the periodic table.
5. The positive and negative charges must balance out. Determine what the charge
needs to be on the metal ion to balance the negative ion.
6. Write the name of the compound.
- 16 -
Polyatomic Ions
, A polyatomic ion is an ion composed of more than one type of atom joined by
covalent bonds.
Names and Formulas of Covalent Compounds
, In a Covalent compound the precise number of atoms of each element on the
molecule is shown by the chemical formula.
Naming Binary Covalent Compounds
, A binary covalent compound contains two non-metal elements joined together by one
or more covalent bonds. Atoms in covalent compounds do not connect by forming
ions instead, they combine chemically by sharing electrons in a covalent bond.
Comparing Ionic and Covalent Compounds
, The formulas of ionic compounds and covalent compounds can look very similar.
This makes naming them difficult if you are not sure which naming rules to use. The
following three tips are useful for naming compounds.
1. Examine the formula
• Ionic compounds begin with a metal or the ammonium ion.
• If the formula starts with a non-metal, it is likely that it is a covalent compound.
2. If the compound is covalent
• If the covalent compound is binary (and does not begin with hydrogen) then use
the prefix naming syste.
3. If the compound is ionic
• If the positive ion is a metal, the periodic table will show whether it has one or
more than one form of charge.
• If the negative ion comes from a single non-metal aton the suffix “-ide.”
• If the negative ion is a polyatomic ion, look up the formula on table 4.11, Names,
Formulas, and Charges of some Polyatomic Ions, on page 192.

Words to Know
, Radioactivity is the release of high-energy particles and rays of energy from a
substance as a result of changes in the nuclei of its atoms.
, The stream of high-energy, fast-moving particles or waves that is found in our
environment it called natural background radiation.

Searching for Invisible Rays
, German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen discovered that an unknown kind of energy was
emitted form certain materials, and he called it x-rays which x stands for unknown.
, Rowentgen’s work led to discovery of radioactivity by a French physicist Henri
Becquerel. He discovered by chance that uranium salts emjitted rays that darkened
photographic plates.
, Chemist Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie used Becquerel’s mineral sample
and isolated the components emitting the rays.
Isotopes and Mass Number

, Magnetic reversal
, Paleoglaciation
, Plate tectonic theory
, Spreading ridge
, Tectonic plate
, Volcanoes
The Jigsaw Puzzle Fit
, When formed, the continents do not match because the plates that the continents are
on don’t match perfectly together.
Matching Geological Structures and Rocks
, Wegner’s theory was supported by the fact that rock structures are similar on present
day earth. When formed, the structures form together perfectly.
Matching Fossils
, Mesosaurus (A small fresh-water fish) fossils were found in South America and the
areas in Southern Africa. It is unlikely fact that the fish swam across the Atlantic, so
both South America and Africa had to be joined in the past.
, Another fossil finding that proved Wegner’s theory was that the cynagnathus and the
lystrosaurus (two land animals) were found throughout the Southern Hemisphere.
This made the Pangaea Theory appeared to be the best explanation for the fossils to
be found so far away from each other.
Climate Evidence for Continental Drift
, Scientists added their support to Wegner’s Continental Drift theory because of the
effects of the ice age. During the ice age, glaciers left behind large valleys, rock
formations and deeply scratched rocks.
, Scientists believed that if glaciers joined, then most of the landmass would be at the
South pole , then the puzzles would fit together.
- 37 -
, Antarctica contains traces of coal. Since coal is formed the decomposition of living
things (usually tropical/ swamp materials), this suggested that Antarctica was warmer
that it currently is.
How Can Continents Move?
, Wagner had a lot of evidence, but it was missing a key question: What makes
Continental drift. This Theory took over 30 years before the theory was accepted.
A Possible Mechanism
, In the years following Wegner’s death (1930), many new findings made scientists
reflect on his hypothesis. With these discoveries, scientists supported the once
considered far-fetched. During the time of Wegner’s life.
, Scientists did not believed that the earth was broken down into slabs of rocks. But in
1920, discoveries made scientists believe in this theory. Some observations that
scientists discovered was that underwater volcanoes are openings into the earth’s
surface. Volcanoes causes the volcanoes to release gases, melted rocks and chunk of
rocks. Earthquakes release emerges that are built-up under the earth’s surface. Both
volcanoes and earthquakes causes dramatic events.
Evidence from ocean rock and sediment.
- When Oceanologists discovered the Mid-Atlantic ridge, they found outthat
new rocks were closer to the ridge, silt and organic sediments were farther
from the ridge.
Evidence from paleomagnetism
- Earth has 2 magnetic poles: the north and the south. This is the reason
compasses point north. The magnetic field isn’t unchanging though. It is
predicted that in a few thousand years, the magnetic field will change and
compasses will point the other direction. This theory is known as magnetic
reversal. This theory is not understood completely, but scientists believe that
the magnetic field is produced by the liquid iron from the planet’s interior.
- Compass needles has been frozen in place, like ancient rocks, they have
preserved the strength and direction of Earth’s Magnetic field when the rocks
were formed. Paleomagnetism is the study of the magnetic properties of
ancient rocks. Scientists have also discovered a rock pattern that is now
known as magnetic striping. This pattern is repeated both ends of the Mid-
Atlantic Ridge.
Sea floor spreading: an explanation.
- Harry Hess, an American geology professor proposed an explanation that tied
together the age of ocean rocks, magnetic striping and sediment thickness. He
suggested that magma rises because it is less dense than the materials that
surround it. Magma cools and hardens as it breaks through the Earth’s surface,
forming new sea floor. This current causes more magma to rise. This
continues and pushes old rocks aside.
- 38 -
- A Canadian geologist released scientific paper that combined the concepts of
seafloor spreading and paleomagnetism to explain continental drift. He
suggested that when a tectonic plate passes over a hot spot. A geologic hot
spot is an area where molten rocks rises to the surface. Wilson thought that
continents must break up at certain areas, move across the surface and then
rejoin. This hypothesis explaing the formation for mountains and ocean basins.
This theory is later known as the plate tectonic theory.
