Week 9 Reflection

To whom this may concern,

This week in Biology we learned about ecology. Ecology is the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment.  Observing, experimenting, and modeling are methods used by scientists to study the biosphere.  Also, the nitrogen, carbon, water, and phosphorus are the four cycles of matter.  Another thing we learned is that energy flows through an ecosystem.  It flows in one direction from autotrophs to heterotrophs.  Autotrophs, or producers, get their energy from the sun, and heterotrophs, or consumers, get their energy from producers.

Week 9 reflection

Dear fellow followers,

This week our class learned about ecology. Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. Scientists use the studying methods of observing, modeling, and experimenting to further understand the biosphere. Along with ecology, Mr. Wan also taught us about the flow of energy. We learned about food chains and food webs, and how energy flows in one direction from producers to consumers. Producers, also know as autotrophs, obtain energy directly from the sun. Consumers, or heterotrophs, get their energy from other organisms. We also learned about the cycles of matter. The cycles include the water, carbon, nitrogen, and the phosphorous cycles. #bloggin

Week 9 Reflection

Ecology is the study of interactions betweens organisms and their surroundings including other organisms and the environment. Scientists study the biosphere and other phenomenas on earth by observing, experimenting, and modeling. Next, I was taught that energy moves in one direction from producers to consumers. Producers are organisms that obtain energy by producing their own food. They are also known as autotrophs. Consumers get their energy from other organisms. Consumers are either herbivores(only plants), carnivores(only meat), or omnivores(both).This week I also learned about the numerous cycles of matter, and that matter is never lost or produced. These cycles include the water cycle, the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, and the phosphorus cycle.
