reproduction and life stages
DD_0169
This diagram shows the blastocyst stage in the process of fertilization. The blastocyst has an inner and outer layer of cells. The inner layer is called the embryoblast, will develop into the new human being. The outer layer is called the trophoblast, will develop into other structures needed to support the new organism. This layer surrounds the inner cell mass or the embryoblast and a fluid-filled cavity known as the blastocoele. When the outer cells of the blastocyst embeds itself in the uterine lining or the endometrium. This process is called implantation. It generally occurs about a week after fertilization.

FIGURE 23.1 Organisms show tremendous diversity. Some of the smallest and largest living or- ganisms are pictured here: billions of mi- croorganisms that thrive in this hot spring give it its striking colors (left); blue whales are the largest living organisms (right). Organisms depend on their environment to meet their needs, so they are greatly influenced by it. There are many factors in the environment that affect organisms. The factors can be classified as either biotic or abiotic.

FIGURE 23.2 From individuals to the biosphere, ecol- ogy can be studied at several different levels. An ecosystem consists of all the biotic and abiotic factors in an area. It includes a community, the abiotic factors in the environment, and all their interactions. A biome is a group of similar ecosystems with the same general abiotic factors and primary producers. Biomes may be terrestrial (land-based) or aquatic (water-based). The biosphere consists of all the parts of Earth where life can be found. This is the highest level of organization in ecology. It includes all of the other levels below it. The biosphere consists of all the worlds biomes, both terrestrial and aquatic.

FIGURE 23.21 Intertidal zone along the North Sea in the Netherlands Below 200 meters is the aphotic zone. There are no primary producers here because there isnt enough sunlight for photosynthesis. However, the water may be rich in nutrients because of dead organisms drifting down from above. Organisms that live here may include bacteria, sponges, sea anemones, worms, sea stars, and fish. The bottom of the ocean is called the benthic zone. It includes the sediments on the bottom of the ocean and the water just above it. Organisms living in this zone include clams and crabs. They may be few in number due to relatively scarce nutrients in this zone. There are many more organisms around deep-sea vents. Microorganisms use chemicals that pour out of the vents to make food by chemosynthesis. These producers support large numbers of other organisms, including crustaceans and red tubeworms like those pictured in Figure 23.22.

cycles of matter
DD_0175
This diagram depicts the water cycle, which is an important part of the ecosystem. The water in the water cycle exists in three different phases, liquid, solid (ice) and gas (water vapor). Water from lakes and oceans evaporates and is carried by rising air currents in the atmosphere. In the atmosphere the water vapor condenses and forms tiny droplets of water that form clouds. When the droplets get big enough the water comes back to earth in the form of precipitation. Precipitation can be in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Eventually the water evaporates again and the cycle starts over. Water can also enter the atmosphere through trees and plants from a process called transpiration.

DD_0176
This diagram shows the processes of the water cycle. It takes place on, above, and below Earths surface. During the water cycle, water occurs in three different states: gas (water vapor), liquid (water), and solid (ice). Many processes are involved as water changes state to move through the cycle. One of the processes is called Evaporation. It takes place when water on Earths surface changes to water vapor. The sun heats the water and turns it into water vapor which escapes up into the atmosphere. Most evaporation occurs from the surface of the ocean. Sublimation is another process takes place when snow and ice on Earths surface change directly to water vapor without first melting to form liquid water. This also happens because of heat from the sun. Transpiration is yet another process that takes place when plants release water vapor through pores in their leaves called stomata. As the water vapor rises up into the earth's atmosphere, it cools and condenses. Condensation is the process of converting water vapor into water droplets.If the droplets get big enough, they fall as precipitation. Precipitation is any form of water that falls from the atmosphere. Precipitation that falls on land may flow over the surface of the ground. This water is called runoff.The runoff may reach a water body such as an ocean or get soaked into the ground.

This diagram shows the water cycle. Water from lakes, streams, rivers, and other bodies of water evaporates and turns into clouds. This leads to condensation which leads to precipitation in the form of rain and snow. Some of the precipitation adds to the bodies of water and some goes into the ground. The water that goes into the ground is called ground water--some of it eventually makes its way to bodies of water. Water also can come down from mountains and end up in bodies of water--this is called runoff.

This diagram depicts photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants synthesize glucose. The process uses carbon dioxide and water and also produces oxygen. The plant gets energy from sunlight using a green pigment called chlorophyll. Photosynthesis changes light energy to chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules. Glucose is used for energy by the cells of almost all living things. Plants make their own glucose.

This diagram represents photosynthesis. Photosynthesis the process in which plants synthesizes glucose. During photosynthesis, it gets its energy from the sun (light energy.) Photosynthesis changes light energy (the energy the plant receives from the sun) to chemical energy. This process uses carbon dioxide and water. In return, it produces oxygen and carbohydrates. It does this by the energy it receives from the sun. The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2 O + Light Energy C6 H12 O6 + 6O2.

The diagram is a representation of the major division of earths history. The geological timescale is a representation of time elapsed after the formation of earth, divided into slices, each differentiated by a geological event whose record is held in rock samples. Geological time is primarily divided into eons, which are divided into eras, which are further divided into periods. The periods are further divided into epochs, and epochs into ages, while eons are grouped into super-eons. The lengths of these eras are often measured by the term "mya," which represents "millions of years ago. The first three eons are grouped under the Precambrian super-eon. The fourth eon, called the Phanerozoic, is ongoing. Although the first three eons together account for most of Earthaó»s history, stretching out for nearly four billion years, there was little of note in terms of biological activity or geological diversity. So, in representations such as the table above, they are usually collectively called the Precambrian. It contains the Hadeon eon, when Earth was forming and the Late Heavy Bombardment took place; the Archeon eon, when water first showed up and the first lifeforms evolved; the Proterozoic eon, when the first multicellular organisms appeared and Earthaó»s atmosphere received oxygen for the first time as a result of the proliferation of cyanobacteria.

The diagram shows an example of geologic time scale, which is a tool that scientists and historians use to describe and understand the different timeframes of the EarthÕs existence. This geologic time scale shows a timeline of events beginning from the late Proterozoic Era, approximately 650 million years ago. It is divided into eras and periods, and lists the major events that occurred in EarthÕs history each period. From the geologic time scale, we can tell when different creatures evolved and first appeared on Earth. We know that the first amphibians appeared during the Devonian Period in the Paleozoic Era, approximately 400 million years ago. The first dinosaurs appeared during the Triassic Period of the Mesozoic Era, about 250 million years ago. Humans like us only appeared on Earth approximately 2.6 million years ago, during the Quaternary Period of the Cenozoic Era. The human race is very young, considering the Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old!
