PowerPoint Slides for Chapter 25:
Homeostasis of Ecological Systems
Section 25.1: Is nutrient cycling a mechanism of
homeostasis for ecological systems?
25.2 How does energy flow through food webs?
25.3 Do ecological systems filter wastes like
individual organisms do?
25.4 How does increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide
disrupt ecological systems?

A. Malcolm Campbell, Laurie J. Heyer, and Chris
Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are connected
through nutrient cycles and energy flows
