What to Focus On

  • Ecology studies interactions among organisms and their environment.
  • An ecosystem is a functional and self-sustaining unit of nature.
  • Biotic components are living; abiotic components are non-living.

  • Trophic levels show the position of an organism in a feeding chain.
  • Producers form the base of food chains.
  • Primary consumers are herbivores.

  • The Sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems.
  • Plants capture only about 1-2% of solar energy reaching Earth’s surface.
  • The 10% Law is a general guideline, not an exact value.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Soil is a biotic component of an ecosystem because it contains living organisms.

Bioaccumulation and biomagnification mean the same thing.

Any toxic pollutant will biomagnify in a food chain.
