B.   Analyze plant and animal structures and functions needed for survival and describe the flow of energy through a system that all organisms use to survive.

 

 

1.   Diagram the role of producers in the transfer of energy entering ecosystems as sunlight to chemical energy through photosynthesis.

1a.  To review, summarize the steps of the plant processes of photosynthesis and respiration.

2.   Explain how almost all kinds of animals’ food can be traced back to plants.

3.   Diagram the organization of simple food chains and food webs (e.g., producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and decomposers).

3a.  Energy flows from the sun to producers to consumers.

C.   Compare changes in an organism’s ecosystem/habitat that affect its survival.

5.   Summarize that organisms can survive only in ecosystems in which their needs can be met (e.g., food, water, shelter, air, carrying capacity and waste disposal). The world has different ecosystems and distinct ecosystems support the lives of different types of organisms.

5a.  Specifically examine oceans and how the ocean supports the organisms that live there.

6.   Support how an organism’s patterns of behavior are related to the nature of that organism’s ecosystem, including the kinds and numbers of other organisms present, the availability of food and resources, and the changing physical characteristics of the ecosystem.

7.   Analyze how all organisms, including humans, cause changes in their ecosystems and how these changes can be beneficial, neutral or detrimental (e.g., beaver ponds, earthworm burrows, grasshoppers eating plants, people planting and cutting trees and people introducing a new species.
