1 MA 6.3 A food web identifies producers, consumers, and decomposers, and explains the transfer of energy through trophic levels. Relationships among organisms add to the complexity of biological communities. INTRODUCTION TO ECOLOGY

2 *two page notebook format* Do Now: 1) Word study: the Latin root vorare appears in herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, and detrivore. What familiar word or words help you guess the meaning of vorare? 2) Word study: Find words to help you understand what ecology might mean 3) problem 1 on page 371 of the Big Black Biology Book Monday, October27, 2014 Topic: Ecology Objectives: Summarize the levels of organization that ecologists study Compare study methods used by ecologists to study the environment. Estimate a population size using samples. Page 23Page 24

3 Word study… Omnivore Herbivore Carnivore Detrivore Related words… Vorare… Ecology…
