    This document summarizes key figures and concepts from an ecology unit, including a food chain (Figure 1), carbon cycle (Figure 2), and population growth curves for Paramecium aurelia and Didinium nasutum (Figure 3). It tests understanding of ecosystems, trophic levels in a food chain, carbon reservoirs, decomposition, and limiting factors on population growth such as prey-predator relationships, territorial behavior, and limited space.
