Document Summary
Some plants have no chlorophyll or not enough to support themselves nutritionally and must obtain their food in some way such as being parasitic. Specialization of the alimentary canal (fancy word for the digestive tract) seen in a herbivore may include: a foregut fermentation. Energy is constantly recycled from one link in the food chain to another. False, energy flows, it is not recycled. C4 photosynthesis has specialized bundle sheath cells in the leaf mesophyll. Carrying capacity is the max number of individuals that can be supported indefinitely. A species is any group of individuals that do or could potentially interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Chapter 1: what is ecology in action? (introduction, scientific method, what is ecology?) Ecology ( house )- the scientific study of interactions that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecology is not environmental science- different emphasis. Ecology is biological and stems from basic research (looking at basics, nutrients, climate)
