1. ABIOTIC FACTORS

   • Soil
     • PLANTS
       • ANIMALS
       • PHOTOSYNTHESIS
         • SUN
           • Without it we may not be alive now.
         • ANIMALS
           • DECOMPOSE
             • BACTERIA
               • DECOMPOSERS
       • DECOMPOSE
         • SOIL
   • SUN
     • ROCKS
   • ROCKS
     • SOIL
   • NON-LIVING COMPONENTS OF AN ECOSYSTEM
   • ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS
     • Everything we have and everything that is made comes from the sun. The sun provides us with light and heat.

2. BIOTIC FACTORS

   • ORGANIZATION OF SPECIES
     • SPECIES
       • The same type of biotic organism that can reproduce.
       • POPULATION
         • How many individuals there are of that one spieces. 
         • COMMUNITY
           • A bunch of populations that interact with each other.
           • ECOSYSTEMS
             • Biotic and abiotic things that interact with each other.

       • CELLULAR RESPIRATION
         • Animals breaths in oxygen that goes into the respiratory system. Then a  process starts that turns it into carbon dioxide. 
         • PHOTOSYNTHESIS
           • Plants take sunlight water and carbon dioxide that turns it into sugar. The plant then eats the sugar, releasing oxygen.
           • OXYGEN
             • Let's us breath.
             • SPECIES
               • The same type of biotic organism that can reproduce.
         • HUMAN IMPACTS
           • DEFORESTATION
             • Chopping down a large area with a lot of trees. This is also a problem because when they are chopped, they release a lot of carbon, which can lead to more climate change.
           • CLIMATE CHANGE
             • Methane gas, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions go to Earth's atmosphere and absorb heat from the sun. This warms the Earth.
           • OVERPOPULATION
             • There are to many humans and we all need the same things, but the Earth can't give these because there are to many of us.
         • HUMAN IMPACTS IS CONNECTED TO CELLULAR RESPIRATION BECAUSE WE DO IT.
       • CONSUMERS
         • Species that eat other biotic organisms.
   • LIVING SPECIES IN AN ECOSYSTEM

3. SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS

   • MUTUALISM
     • BOTH SPECIES BENEFIT
       • EXAMPLE: BEES AND FLOWERS
   • PARASITISM
     • ONE SPECIES BENEFITS, THE OTHER IS HARMED
       • EXAMPLE: MOSQUITOES SUCKING BLOOD OF HUMANS
   • COMMENSALISM
     • ONE SPECIES BENEFITS AND THE OTHER IS NOT HARMED
       • EXAMPLE: BIRD NEST IN A TREE
   • SPECIES INTERACTS WITH ANOTHER SPECIES IN INTERESTING WAYS

4. DIFFERENT TYPES OF ECOSYSTEMS

   • DESERT
     • SAND SPECIES: CAMELS
   • GRASSLAND
     • GRASS
   • ALPINE
     • LIKE BOREAL FOREST
   • AQUATIC
     • WATER
