to ecology.
I can explain how
photosynthesis and
cellular respiration
are associated with
autotrophs and
heterotrophs.
I can describe
the main types of

Competency/Objective
3. Investigate and evaluate the interaction between living organisms and their environment.
a. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the world’s major biomes (e.g., deserts, tundra, taiga, grassland, temperate forest, tropical rainforest).
• Plant & animal species
• Climate (temperature & rainfall)
• Adaptations of organisms
b. Provide examples to justify the interdependence among environmental elements. (DOK 2)
• Biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem (e.g., water, carbon, oxygen, mold, leaves)
• Energy flow in ecosystems (e.g., energy pyramids and photosynthetic organisms to herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers)
• Roles of beneficial bacteria
• Interrelationships of organisms (e.g., cooperation, predation, parasitism, commensalism, symbiosis, & mutualism)
