The words will be in bold. Be sure that you can apply your lab experiences from the food chain explorelearning.com lab, the ecological pyramids lab, and the explorelearning.com snail/elodea lab Articles/Websites Food Chain Length Depends on an Ecosystem’s Size Should DDT be Used to Combat Malaria? http://sciencebitz.com/?page_id=36 (Pyramids and Ecosystem Function)
