I can list the 5 levels of organization of ecology.
I can explain why biodiversity leads to the stability of an ecosystem.
I can explain how nonnative species can affect an ecosystem.
I can explain how bacteria are important in the nitrogen cycle.
I can list how carbon enters and leaves the atmosphere.
I can explain the difference between autotroph and heterotroph.
I can explain the role of producers [autotrophs] in a community.
I can explain the role of consumers [heterotrophs] in a community.
I can list the 5 types of consumers and list what they eat.
I can list the different types of decomposers and explain why they are important to the stability of an ecosystem.
I can label the different levels of producers and consumers on a food web.
I can identify which trophic level an organism is in.
I can explain the direction of energy flow in an energy pyramid.
I can explain what happens to energy/biomass/numbers as you move up a biological pyramid.
I can explain ecological succession.
I can explain the differences between primary and secondary succession.
I can explain how population size can affect an ecosystem.
I can explain how changes in a population size are affected by emigration, immigration, competition, and predation.
