Discuss precisely the number of matters:
1. What makes the flow of energy through ecosystems fundamentally different from the flow of nutrients?
2. How do food chains and food webs differ? Which is the more accurate representation of actual feeding relationships in ecosystems?
3. What are the four major requirements for life? Which two are most often limiting in terrestrial ecosystems? In ocean systems?
4. Distinguish between oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes.
5. Distinguish between the photic and aphotic zones.
6. In which terrestrial biome is your home located? Discuss similarities and differences between your location and the general description of that biome in the text. In the city or town where your home is located, how has human domination modified community interactions?
