AP Environmental Science Warm Ups for Unit 2: The Living World (Ch 3, 4, 7, 8) 4- I am an expert!! 3- Yes I can do it. Learning Target 1. I can list and describe, in 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. order, the levels of organization in the realm of ecology. (species, population, community, etc) I can explain how biotic and abiotic factors interact in an ecosystem. I can explain the importance of a species’ range of tolerance. I can distinguish between autotrophs (producers) and heterotrophs (consumers). I can describe and give examples of different types of consumers (carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, scavengers, detritivores, and decomposers). I can illustrate and describe the flow of energy in an ecosystem using a food chain or food web. I can describe the different types of ecological pyramids used to illustrate relationships between organisms in a food chain. (energy, biomass, numbers) I can explain the concept of ecological efficiency as it relates to energy being transferred from one trophic level to the next. I can describe and calculate the mathematical relationship between Gross Primary PreRating Warm Up 2- I need a review. 1- I need help with this one.

Productivity (GPP) by plants, their respiration, and their Net Primary Productivity (NPP). Learning Target 10. I can label the parts of each biogeochemical cycle (H20, C, N, P, and S) as well as describe how humans have impacted it. 11. I can distinguish between different types of diversity in life: ecological, species, genetic, and functional. 12. I can explain the role of natural selection in evolution, as well as understand how the fossil record gives us clues about the past. 13. I can explain how geological processes have affected evolution. 14. I can define speciation and how that can arise from geographic and reproductive isolation. 15. I can describe ways that genetic variability arises in populations and why this is a good thing. 16. I can define an adaptation and give several examples of adaptations found in nature. 17. I can describe how bacteria can evolve genetic resistance to antibiotics. 18. I can distinguish between background extinction and mass extinction. 19. I can explain why organisms like mosquitos and bacteria Pre- 2- I need a review. 1- I need help with this one.

Learning Target 20. I can describe the difference between artificial selection and natural selection. 21. I can explain why species-rich ecosystems are more sustainable. 22. I can distinguish between generalist and specialist species and give examples of each. 23. I can define and give an example of an indicator species. 24. I can explain why amphibians are especially vulnerable to extinction. 25. I can provide examples of invasive (nonnative, alien) species that are negatively affecting native biodiversity. 26. I can describe several examples of evidence for biological evolution via natural selection. 27. I can identify basic climate and plant characteristics of the different biomes (arctic tundra, coniferous forest/taiga, deciduous, forest, deserts, grasslands, chaparral, trop forest) 28. I can identify the biome that contains over half of the plant and animal species (and explain why). Pre 2- I need a review. 1- I need help with this one.

I can describe why tropical forest soil is so poor in nutrients. 30. I can identify two different reasons the arctic tundra may be contributing to global warming. 31. I can identify the two biomes that have the most nutrientrich soil. 32. I can identify the two biomes that are the most prone to natural and man-made fires. 33. I can explain why coral reefs are so important and humans have done to cause coral bleaching. 34. I can identify the major types of organisms found in aquatic systems: plankton, nekton, benthos, decomposers. 35. I can distinguish between the aquatic zones and give a description of each. 36. I can describe several examples of ecological and economic services provided by marine ecosystems. 37. I can identify and describe key details about each of the marine life zones: coastal, open ocean, and ocean floor. 38. I can describe the key features of an estuary. 39. I can explain the ecological and economic services provided by mangrove forests. Pre 2- I need a review. 1- I need help with this one.

I can distinguish between the euphotic zone, bathyal zone, and abyssal zone as well as give examples of organisms that can be found in each. 41. I can explain why the open ocean has a low NPP. 42. I can describe each of the 7 major threats to the marine system caused by humans. 43. I can explain why the Chesapeake Bay is in trouble. 44. I can understand the importance of freshwater ecosystems and how they’re formed. 45. I can distinguish between the 4 zones of freshwater systems: littoral, limnetic, profundal, and benthic. 46. I can distinguish between oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes. 47. I can explain how cultural eutrophication occurs and the impact it has on aquatic ecosystems. 48. I can explain the importance of protecting our watershed. 49. I can describe each zone of a stream: source, transition, and floodplain. 50. I can define wetlands and explain their ecological and economic importance. 51. I can describe the 4 major ways that humans have affected freshwater.
