Ecology Test Study Guide: Students will be expected to… 1. 2. 3. 4. Identify and interpret ecological pyramids Interpret nutrient cycle diagrams (carbon, nitrogen) Interpret population graphs (exponential, logistic) Identify factors that affect populations and determine if density-dependent or densityindependent 5. Calculate population density, percent energy lost (know formulae!) 6. Identify organisms based on ecological role (e.g. herbivore, carnivore, decomposer…) 7. Interpret a food chain (flow of energy, flow of matter) 8. Understand what happens to energy and matter as they flow through food webs 9. Understand environmental issues: invasive species, deforestation, reintroduced species, ocean acidification (use chart from project) 10.Identify the stages of succession (pioneer species, climax community, etc…) 11.Identify a species interaction as being mutualism, parasitism, predation, competition or commensalism. 12.Understand and interpret a lab protocol 13.Analyze and conclude based on data Important vocabulary: Autotroph Biomass Biome Biosphere Birth Rate Calorie(s) Carnivore Carrying Capacity Chemotroph Climax Community Commensalism Community Competition Consumer (1st, 2nd…) Death Rate Decomposer Decomposition Density-dependent Density-independent Deposition Ecology Ecosystem Emigration Endangered Species Exponential Growth Food chain Food web Herbivore Heterotroph Immigration Invasive Species Lichen Limiting Nutrient Logistic Growth Mutualism Omnivore Parasitism Photosynthesis Pioneer Species Population Population Density Predation Producer Reintroduced Species Respiration Species Succession Sustainable Solution Top-level (apex) carnivore Trophic Level
