Covers ecosystem structure and key distinctions between abiotic and biotic components, habitat and ecological niche, and organism interactions including population, community, competition, resource partitioning, predation, and symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism, parasitism). Explains ecosystem types via biomes, ecotones, ecodzones/ecoregions, and edge effects. Addresses energy flow through cell respiration and bioenergetics, and details photosynthesis (light-dependent and light-independent reactions) plus cellular respiration pathways. Includes organism classification (autotrophs, heterotrophs, decomposers) and links food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids to biodiversity and evolution.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/ap-environmental-science-study-guide-unit-1-2-the-living-world/311410/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/ap-environmental-science-study-guide-unit-1-2-the-living-world/311410.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Mia  ","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-05","2026-09-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",15,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"How do abiotic and biotic components differ in an ecosystem?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Abiotic components are nonliving parts of Earth such as atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere.

They often grow attached to scallop shells, which has almost no effect on the scallop  \n● Parasitism  \n○ One organism benefits by harming the other organism  \n■ Eg: Mistletoe is a flowering plant that grows attached to, and within, the vascular system of a tree or shrub. This helps the mistletoe but harms the tree  \n● Types of Ecosystems  \n○ Classifications  \n■ Blending  \n● The biomes blend into each other  \n● There are no distinct boundaries  \n■ Ecotones  \n● A transitional area where two biomes meet  \n■ Ecozones/Ecoregions  \n● Small regions within ecosystems that have similar physical features  \n■ Edge Effects  \n● Ecotones have a great amount of species diversity and biological density  \n● Some species only live on the edge of certain habitats  \n● Energy Flow  \n○ Cell Respiration-Occurs when autotrophs make ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from carbohydrates and other biomolecules in a complex series of reactions  \n○ Bioenergetics-The study of how energy flows through living organisms  \n■ All energy on Earth comes from the Sun  \n■ Photosynthetic organisms use solar energy to turn CO2 and H2O into carbohydrates  \n● Also releases O2  \n■ Biological macromolecules store energy in their chemical bonds  \n■ Cells use respiration to transfer energy from the chemical bonds of macromolecules to the chemical bonds of smaller molecules like ATP, GTP, NADH, NADPH and FADH2  \n● This releases CO2 and H2O  \n■ These small, high-energy molecules power all the reactions and processes the cell needs to perform  \n○ Photosynthesis  \n● Plants and algae are producers and perform photosynthesis: they convert solar energy into chemical energy  \n● In plants, most photosynthesis occurs in leaves  \n● Algae include some bacteria and plant-like protists  \n■ Light-Dependent Reactions  \n● Purpose:  \n○ Convert light energy to chemical energy  \n○ Reactant(s) = Sunlight + H2O  \n○ Products(s) = O2 + ATP + NADPH  \n■ Light-Independent Reactions  \n● Purpose:  \n○ Use ATP and NADPH to build organic molecules from CO2  \n○ Reactant(s) = CO2 +","cbCaieoiYcSS8jPC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieoiYcSS8jPC","pdf",654096,37,"English","# Unit 1-2: The Living World\n## Ecosystem Structure\n## Interactions of Organisms with the Environment\n## Interactions of Organisms Among Each Other\n## Types of Ecosystems\n## Energy Flow\n## Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration\n## Classifying Organisms in Ecosystems\n## Food Chains & Food Webs\n## Ecosystem Diversity: Biodiversity and Evolution","[{\"question\":\"How do abiotic and biotic components differ in an ecosystem?\",\"answer\":\"Abiotic components are nonliving parts of Earth such as atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere.
