My topic, ecosystems and communities is extremely important to not only biology but in the real world as well. everything covered in this topic has some effect in everyday life. Symbiotic relations exist everywhere and we wouldn't be able to survive without them. Our climate is also extremely important and determines how we live and survive in our environment. Lastly, the greenhouse effect is also a huge part of our world keeping our atmosphere stable, and as of right now in desperate need of some held. By learning about these topics we can better understand how these things affect us and keep our world functioning.

1. Climate- A region’s climate is defined by year-after-year patterns of temperature and precipitation.
2. Weather- the day-to-day condition of Earth’s atmosphere.
3. Greenhouse effect -phenomenon where visible light can enter but traps heat
4. Latitude- measurement on a globe or map of location north or south of the Equator.
5. Microclimate- Climate that is rarely uniform even within a region. Environmental conditions that can vary over small distances
6. Ecological succession- a series of more-or-less predictable changes that occur in a community over time.
7. Primary succession- succession that begins in an area with no remnants of an older community
8. Mutualism- relation in which both organisms benefit
9. Niche- Where an organism lives and how it reacts to the biotic and abiotic factors in its environment

10. Symbiosis- Any relationship in which two species live closely together

Vocab

1. Biotic Factors- Any living fa tors in an organism's environment

2. Abiotic Factors- Any nonliving factors in an organism's environment

3. Predation- An interaction in which one animal (the predator) captures and feeds on another animal (the prey

Questions

1. Primary succession begins with no remnant of a previous communitie while secondary succession begins with some remains of past communities. It also occurs faster.

2. The competitive exclusion principal states that two species with identical niches cannot coexist indefinitely.

3.  Mutualism- Clownfish and anemone

Commensalism- Tree fogs and plants

Parasitism- Humans and mosquitoes

1.  How can an organism’s niche like an occupation? - it's like an occupation because it's about what you do and where you live. (role/job)

2.  What's the Difference between habitat and niche?- Habitat is where you live and niche is how you live (job/role)

3. What factors influence climate? -Solar energy, the earth's rotation, patterns of air and water movement, gases in the atmosphere
earth's surface features

4. How can a microclimate form? -By local differences in the amount of heat or water received or trapped near the surface.

Symbiosis

Have you ever heard the phrase, 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine'? This idea of helping someone to get some help in return is the essence of a symbiotic relationship.

Symbiosis describes close interactions between two or more different species. It is different from regular interactions between species, because in a symbiotic relationship, the two species in the relationship live together. Many organisms are involved in symbiotic relationships because this interaction provides benefits to both species. However, there are types of symbiosis that are not beneficial and may in fact harm one or both of the species.

Symbiotic relationships can be obligate or facultative. Obligate symbiosis is when two organisms are in a symbiotic relationship because they can't survive without each other. Facultative symbiosis is when the species live together by choice. There are four main types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, parasitism and competition.

Mutualism

Mutualism occurs when both species benefit from the interaction. Because mutualism is beneficial to both species involved, there are a wide variety of mutualistic interactions, and these are most common in nature.

For example, there may be a nutritional benefit to be gained from the symbiosis, such as with lichen. Lichen is made up of both algae and fungi, and together they provide each other with food and structure. This type of symbiosis is both obligate and mutualistic.

Pollination symbiosis is another example of an obligate, mutualistic symbiosis. Pollinators, such as bees and birds, receive nectar from plants while transporting pollen that the plants need for fertilization.

Cleaning symbiosis is a facultative mutualistic symbiosis. In this case, one organism cleans parasites off another organism's body, which in turn provides a source of food. This can sometimes lead to transport symbiosis, since the first organism provides not only food but transportation for the second organism.

Defense symbiosis is another mutualistic symbiosis. A good example of this is the relationship between clownfish and sea anemones. The anemones have stinging tentacles, but the clownfish are not affected by them. Because of this, clownfish can find safety from predators in the anemone, and in return they protect the anemone from its predators.
