AKS CORRELATION
11. Evaluate the dependence of all organisms on one another and the flow of energy and matter within their ecosystems (GPS, HSGT, CE)
(SCBI_B2005-11)
11a - investigate the relationships among organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and
biomes (GPS)
11b - explain the flow of matter and energy through ecosystems by arranging the components of a food chain by energy flow, comparing the
quantity of energy in the steps of an energy pyramid, explaining the need for cycling of major nutrients (C,H,O,N,P), and identifying and
illustrating the conservation of matter and energy (GPS)
11c - relate environmental conditions to successional changes in ecosystems (GPS)
11d - assess and explain human activities that influence and modify the environment such as global warming, population growth, pesticide
use, and water/power consumption (GPS)
11e - relate plant adaptations, including tropisms, to the ability to survive stressful environmental conditions (GPS)
11f - relate animal adaptations, including behaviors, to the ability to survive stressful environmental conditions (GPS)

1. Define the following terms:
a. biotic potential
b. carrying capacity
c. limiting factors
2. (a) Using a Venn Diagram, Compare & Contrast interspecific and intraspecific competition?
(b) Give a DETAILED written example of each type.
3. (a) Define density-dependent & density-independent limiting factors and
(b) Give 3 examples (each) of density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors.
4. Draw, label, and describe both a logistic (S-shaped) and exponential (J-shaped) growth curve. Be sure to
label relevant graph parts such as biotic potential, carrying capacity, limiting factors, etc.
5. (a) Compare and contrast K and r reproductive strategies.
(b) Give a DETAILED written example of each strategy.
6. (a) What are the main differences between renewable and non-renewable resources?
(b) Give 2 examples of each.
7. Explain biodiversity in terms of the following:
a. extinction vs. endangered species,
b. habitat alteration & fragmentation
c. invasive species
8. Describe the following in detail including a description of the event as well as possible causes:
a. ozone depletion
b. greenhouse effect as it relates to global warming
c. acid rain
9. Explain, in detail, biomagnification, as it relates to the use of DDT.
10. (a) Describe ONE example of human impact on an ecosystem (your choice) and
(b) discuss a possible sustainable-use strategy.
