Ecology, Populations & Biodiversity — Chapter overview · Physics & Environmental Science, Grade 12
Use food webs, population models, habitat patterns, and representative sampling.
Chapter question
How can ecological measurements support a claim about a living system?
Units in this chapter
- Unit 8.1 · Ecosystem Structure & Energy Flow
I can trace energy through trophic levels and food webs and quantify the loss at each step.
- Unit 8.2 · Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services
I can distinguish genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity and use a diversity index to compare communities.
- Unit 8.3 · Population Ecology
I can model population change with exponential and logistic growth and locate the carrying capacity.
- Unit 8.4 · Biomes & Aquatic Systems
I can explain how temperature and precipitation determine which terrestrial biome forms in a region.
- Unit 8.5 · Ecological Sampling & Diversity Data
I can plan representative independent ecological samples.
