Chapter 27
Be able to understand principles involving competition, symbioses, and succession.
You must be able to use examples to demonstrate your grasp of these concepts.
Understand what co-evolution is and how it impacts competition and symbiosis.
Chapter 28
Be able to understand the nutrient cycles involving carbon, nitrogen & phosphorus.
You must be able to construct a food web, food chain, and energy pyramid, and explain the
differences among these concepts.
Chapter 29
Understand all characteristics of each terrestrial biome.
Be able to determine the level of biodiversity at each biome (which ones have the most, or least)
