1) Define Ecology (textbook pg 396) 2) List the levels of Organization we will talk about in this unit (textbook pg 397) from simplest to complex.
 * 9/13 TUE - 9/14 WED

9/15 THR- 9/16 FRI 1) What is the difference between a population and a community? 2) How might an organism change from biotic to abiotic factor? 3) What is the difference between producer and consumer?

9/19/2011 MON 1. What percent of energy is available to the next trophic level? 2. Describe the difference between in autotrophs and heterotrophs.

9/20 TUE - 9/21 WED 1. What types of organisms can be found at ANY trophic level in an ecosystem? What is their niche? 2. Fill in a three-level Energy Pyramid with the appropriate trophic levels. 3. If primary production is only 10,000 kcal, how much will be available to Secondary consumers?

9/22 THR - 9/23 FRI 1. Fill in a FOUR level Energy Pyramid. The energy available to Primary Consumers is 74,254 kcal 2. What happens to most of the energy that is flowing through an ecosystem? 3. Name and briefly describe the three types of Ecological Pyramids

9/26 MON 1. Why is the hydrologic cycle a "biogeochemical" cycle? 2. Name the two processes that cycle Carbon on earth. 3. What role does Nitrogen play in living organisms? What organism assures Nitrogen is in a usable form for all other organisms? 4. What molecule of living organisms is Phosphorus involved in? briefly sketch the cycle in words - abiotic components > biotic factors and back again. What organism returns phosphorus to the abiotic?

9/27 TUE - 9/28 WED PACKET CHECK - BELLRINGERS SHOULD BE QUES/ANSWER or COMPLETE SENTENCES, NOTES finished, HW behind. 1. Calculate the primary production if tertiary consumers have 398.2 kcal available. 2. Three processes that put carbon into the atmosphere 3 Compare/contrast the Phosphorus and Nitrogen Cycles
