Biology Unit 8: Ecology This unit will allow each student to: a. gain a better understanding of ecology and its principles b. gain a better understanding of the organization of an ecosystem c. gain a better understanding of how populations interact within an ecosystem d. continue making proper scientific measurements and calculations e. define and properly use all vocabulary f. properly apply all terms and concepts in describing/explaining real world examples g. make and interpret scientific graphs and diagrams h. teach someone else the concepts discussed i. practice proper laboratory safety This will be accomplished by each student that is able to: 1. identify the levels of organization within the biosphere 2. explain the difference between abiotic factors and biotic factors 3. differentiate between an organisms habitat and niche 4. identify the three different types of symbiotic relationship 5. describe the flow of energy in an ecosystem by creating a food web and identifying various food chains within a given food web 6. identify the ultimate energy source for photosynthetic producers 7. identify the three types of ecological pyramids, describe the trophic levels represented in each, and the flow of energy/biomass/number in each 8. trace the path of essential nutrients in each of the biogeochemical or matter cycles 9. explain the importance of nutrients to living organisms 10. recognize how unfavorable abiotic and biotic factors affect a species 11. describe how ranges of tolerance affect the distribution of organisms 12. compare and contrast primary and secondary succession and sequence their stages 13. relate latitude and the 3 major climate zones 14. identify the location and describe the characteristics of the terrestrial biomes 15. distinguish between the three types of aquatic ecosystems 16. identify the zones in an open ocean 17. recognize that freshwater biomes are characterized by depth and water flow 18. identify limiting factors to population growth 19. distinguish between and exponential growth or J-curve graph and a logistic growth or S-curve graph 20. analyze a human age diagram 21. predict the consequences of continued population growth 22. identify the 3 types of biodiversity, the importance of biodiversity, threats against biodiversity, conservation attempts to protect biodiversity Textbook Reference – Glencoe Science: Biology Chapter 2 – Principles of Ecology Chapter 3 – Communities, Biomes, and Ecosystems Chapter 4 – Population Ecology Chapter 5 – Biodiversity and Conservation Key Terms Abiotic factor, biological community, biome, biosphere, biotic factor, commensalism, ecology, ecosystem, habitat, mutualism, niche, parasitism, population, predation, symbiosis, autotroph, biomass, carnivore, detritivore, food chain, food web, herbivore, heterotroph, omnivore, trophic level, biogeochemical cycle, dentrification, matter, nitrogen fixation, nutrient; climax community, ecological succession, limiting factor, primary succession, tolerance, boreal forest, climate, desert, grassland, latitude, temperate forest, tropical rain forest, tropical savanna, tropical seasonal forest, tundra, weather, woodland, abyssal zone, aphotic zone, benthic zone, estuary, intertidal zone, photic zone, plankton, sediment, wetlands; carrying capacity, density-dependent factor, density-independent factor, dispersion, emigration, immigration, population density, population growth rate; biodiversity, extinction, genetic diversity, species diversity Homework Assignment and Grade Sheet Unit 8 name _________________ period ______ Homework Date Due Homework Date Due Read Chapter 2 complete symbiosis & Levels of organization Concept Maps Wed 12/3 Read Chapter 3 Complete food web & Matter cycle Concept Maps Wed 12/3 Homework Date Due Homework Date Due Wed 12/3 Read Chapter 4 complete energy pyramid & pop. dynamics Concept Maps Wed. 12/3 Read Chapter 5 Complete ecological Succession & Biodiversity Concept Maps Homework Date Due Unit 8 Ecology Real Talk Test Review Wed 12/3 Score (10) Score (10) Score (10) Score (10) Score (15) *Ecology Vocabulary Quiz on Friday, 11/21 *Unit 8 Ecology Real Talk due on Wed. 12/3 *Last day to turn in HW for full credit is Wed. 12/3 *Unit 8 Test on Friday, 12/5 (Multiple Choice Only!) *Final Review Packet (Unit 1-4)will be due on Tuesday, 12/2.
