• What’s the point in studying ecology?
– How is this relevant to my life?
• Answer- Because you a part of the
ecosystem. This world has some serious
ecological problems and understanding the
relationship between living things and the
environment is the key to better
management.

Organisms need energy to survive. Energy from the sun flows into and
out systems. This energy drives our world and the organisms in it.
Energy is lost “not destroyed” when it changes form. Flows Hot to Cold

C) Inorganic nutrients are cycled, energy is not.
D) Energy is destroyed as animals are consumed
