    Just revising some parts of Ecology for a test tomorrow and I forget if some parts are in the section or not. :o

    I know that all about the qualitative and quantitative surveys are in it/competition/niche/organisms/role of organisms/food web and chains..

    Completely forget if stuff like Respiration/ Photosynthesis or Enzymes are apart of Ecology? If someone could give me a basic outline of the parts of Ecology I would be grateful ! :cool:

    Firstly Respiration, Photosynthesis and Enzymes are not part of Ecology but are vitally important to study nonetheless.

    What I'd recommend is:
    - Definitions (Habitat, Biosphere, Competition etc.)
    - Food chain (4 trophic levels)
    - Pyramid of Numbers
    - Inverted Pyramid of Numbers
    - Abiotic factors
    - Biotic factors
    - Carbon & Nitrogen cycle
    - Ecology field study (Experiments you did)
    - Waste minimization (3 R's)
    - Pollution (Example of pollution)

    There's more but you should be fine with those! :)
