Day 12
Category # 5 Biological Processes and Systems (12.A, 12.B, 12.C, 12.D,
12.E, 12.F)
12.A interpret relationships, including predation, parasitism, commensalism,
mutualism, and competition among organisms
12.B compare variations and adaptations of organisms in different ecosystems
12.C analyze the flow of matter and energy through trophic levels using various
models, including food chains, food webs, and ecological pyramids
12.D recognize that long-term survival of species is dependent on changing resource
bases that are limited
12.E describe the flow of matter through the carbon and nitrogen cycles and explain
the consequences of disrupting these cycles
12.F describe how environmental change can impact ecosystem stability
