Ecological Interactions and Nutrient Cycling

What this topic covers

Determine appropriate examples of symbiotic interactions (symbiosis, parasitism, saprophytism, commensalism, mutualism, amensalism, competition, predation, cooperation). Explain the distribution of organisms with food chains and food webs in particular habitats. Define chains and webs. Describe the carbon cycle and its significance (including balance of atmospheric oxygen/carbon (IV) oxide and global warming). Assess the effects of the water cycle on other nutrient cycles. Relate the roles of bacteria and leguminous plants in the cycling of nitrogen.
