Ecology+Part+1+review

*Benthic vs nekton vs planktonic (know location within ocean) *Biomes by vegetation and climate and soil type *Niches (like mutualism, parasitism etc) and definition of niche *Pioneer vs climax community (which is stable and which is changing) *Jetties vs seawalls (which is better?) *Function of the Sun in ecosystems *R vs K selection reproduction
 * //__True and False__//**

**//__Multiple choice__//** * How biotic can affect abiotic and vice versa and examples (choose which is which) * When you would use a quadrant vs transect vs random sampling vs capture/mark/release methods of study * What an ecotone is * Dune plants importance/functions * Population study terms: demographics, density, exponential vs linear vs sine-wave growth, j and s curve growth, stabilization vs lag phase; carrying capacity –some of these words also used in also labeling the population graphs * Density independent vs dependent factors * Predator/prey relationship (remember the sine wave as they go up and down in populaton)

**//__Matching__//** Interrelationship and trophic level words with definitions

**//__Lists__//** Abiotic & biotic factors (NO man made items and no category duplicates; ex: only one disaster, H2O once regardless of form and __do not__ just list names of plants and animals for biotic-be more specific like parasite or competition)

**//__Fill in the blank/Short answer__//** Areas of great biodiversity (ecotones) Role of decomposers in returning things to original compound What is ecology Importance of lichens to environment in succession and what 2 kinds of organisms makeup the lichen Global environmental issues facing the world biomes and examples of long term consequences Connect ecology concepts with the themes of evolution, systems, interactions, and homeostasis Environmental issues facing world’s biomes-problem and consequences Explain what you have learned about the Process of science so far in this unit (think about ocean lab and the biome project)

**//__Combination/application questions (some involve interpretation of data or diagrams or completing events)__//** Fill in the pyramid of energy and apply the 10%rule and why the pyramid is a triangle Making a food chain with all parts and and know the trophic levels of each

Using data in graphic form, apply density dependent and independent factors to the given situation, calculate growth rate and apply the basic principles of a good experimental design.
