Part+1

Part 1 Exam
Benthic vs nekton vs planktonic Biomes by vegetation and climate and soil type Niches (like mutualism, parasitism etc) and definition of niche Pioneer vs climax community Jetties vs seawalls Function of the Sun in ecosystems Chemicals taken in by autotrophs vs heterotrophs Which cycles are involved with the air vs land based only
 * True and False**

How biotic can effect abiotic and vice versa When you would use a quadrant vs transect vs random sampling vs capture/mark/release methods of study Dune plants importance/functions results of burning the rainforest The Nitrogen cycle processes-pick the right event to go with the process Long term nutrient cycles
 * Multiple choice**

Interrelationship and trophic level words with definitions
 * Matching**

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)
 * Lists**

Areas of great biodiversity (ecotones) Photic and aphotic interdependence-what do they give each other? Role of decomposers in returning things to original state What is ecology Importance of legumes to ecosystems (not diet)- remember those nodules and the N2 fixing bacteria!! Importance of lichens to environment in succession How essential elements (C,H,O,N,P,S) are cycled through both abiotc and biotic parts of an ecosystem and processes involved 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 Explain what you have learned about the nature of science so far in this unit (think about ocean lab and the biome project)
 * Fill in the blank/Short answer**

Fill in the pyramid of energy Making a food chain with all parts and apply the 10%rule and know the trophic levels of each Apply the concepts of succession and know the land and water primary and secondary steps of succession and what the climax community would be for each biome
 * Combination/application questions** (some involve interpretation of data or diagrams or completing events)
