Predator-Prey Relationship
Predator-Prey Relationship
A relationship where one organism hunts and kills another for food. The hunter is the predator, and the hunted is the prey.
Energy Flow in an Ecosystem
Energy Flow in an Ecosystem
The transfer of energy through the different levels of an ecosystem, starting with producers and moving up to consumers.
Ecological Succession
Ecological Succession
The process by which an ecosystem recovers from a disturbance, starting with pioneer species and gradually developing into a climax community.

Study Notes
Interactions and Ecosystems
- Predator-prey relationships can be visualized on graphs.
- Understand food webs and how energy flows through them.
- Differentiate between primary and secondary succession.
- Distinguish abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) components in ecosystems.
- Recognize different types of symbiosis (e.g., commensalism, mutualism, parasitism).
- Define and understand the concept of an ecological footprint and activities that influence it.
- Identify key terms related to species status, including endangered, vulnerable, and extinct.
- Note various adaptations (behavioral and physical/structural) in organisms.
- Understand the impacts of deforestation and their consequences.
- Classify organisms into categories like carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, predators, prey, and producers.
- Recognize biodiversity as a crucial concept.
Heat and Temperature
- Comprehend the particle model of matter's principles.
- Understand different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
- Know various phase changes (e.g., sublimation, condensation, melting).
- Differentiate between heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection, radiation).
- Distinguish between conductors and insulators.
- Interpret data using thermometers.
- Identify independent, dependent, and control variables.
- Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various energy sources (e.g., oil, gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro).
- Define and understand key terms associated with heat and temperature. These include thermal energy, temperature, expansion, contraction, and concepts of renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
- Know the concept of kinetic energy.
