Points that you must know and be able to work with

• What do frogs say about the environment
• Know the following terms a list from the entire chapter
  producer, consumer, food chain, herbivore, ommnivore, carnivore, detritus, decomposers, scavangers, habitat, niche, biodiversity, pest, parisite, abiotic, biotic, population, community, ecosystem, ecotone photosynthesis, albedo, autotroph, heterotrophs, trophic level, levels of consumers
• Page 14 Classification systems for species at risk: know
• Compairing ecosystems; natural vs artificial
• Energy flow thru a food web; various terms page 34 to 39
• Recognizing a valid food chain
• Roles in an ecosytem: the niche, competition, exotic species & how the upset the balance
• Trophic levels from producer (at the bottom) to primary consumer to secondary consumer etc to top level consumer

This may no look like much, but make sure you know the terms listed in this chapter and listen to the tutorial on this material
