BI 101 General BiologyLBCCSpring ‘13
Final Study Guide
Note: See midterm study guide to review the first half of the term.
Especially emphasized from ecology:
- Trophic levels/trophic cascades and the flow of energy between the levels
- Species interactions: mutualism, parasitism, commensalism, etc…
Compare and contrast:
