About Ecosystems and Populations
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources here follow the core ideas of ecology. You will find definitions of biotic and abiotic factors, energy flow, food chains and webs, pyramids of biomass, nutrient cycles, succession, biomes, eutrophication and human impact. Population topics include growth, competition and pest control.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map Ecosystems. It defines an ecosystem, explains why ecosystems are dynamic and separates biotic from abiotic factors. Next, read the Biodiversity notes and exam questions, which treat biodiversity as species, habitat and genetic variety. If you like key terms, the flashcard deck Bio 20 - Chapter 3 - Ecosystems and Their Diversity covers words such as habitat, niche, biome and population.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then test yourself. Here is one way to work:
- Study a mind map such as Food chains and food webs or The carbon cycle.
- Take a quiz such as Year 9 Ecosystem or Population Dynamics.
- Note the questions you missed and go back to the flashcards for those terms.
- Try a longer exam-style task, such as the Ecology Practice Test.
Exam boards and courses
Resources mention GCSE Biology, A-level Biology, IB Biology, AP Biology, IGCSE Biology, National 5 Biology, SQA Higher Biology, QCAA Biology and others. Check each resource against your own course, as they were made by community members. Teachers can use maps and flashcards as ready-made starters for lessons.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Ecology and the Environment strand of Biology and natural sciences. Pick a resource that matches what you are studying this week, and see how you get on.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Ecosystems mind map. It defines an ecosystem, explains that ecosystems change, and separates biotic from abiotic factors. After that, the Biodiversity notes and exam questions add species, habitat and genetic diversity, and a quiz such as Year 9 Ecosystem lets you check what stuck.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover food chains and webs, energy transfer, the carbon cycle, nitrogen, eutrophication, succession, decomposers and relationships between species. Some follow specific courses, such as the QCAA Biology map on the diversity of species and ecosystems, and the OCR Gateway GCSE Biology B2 map.
Are there population topics as well as ecosystems?
Yes. The Population Dynamics quiz asks about density independent factors and population growth. There are also flashcards on competition in plants and in animals, population growth and pest control, and IB Biology 5.3 Populations (SL). Notes titled Populations are listed too.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Resources on this page mention GCSE Biology, A-level Biology, IB Biology, AP Biology, IGCSE Biology, National 5 Biology and SQA Higher Biology, among others. Most are secondary level. Always compare a resource with your own course, since community members made them.
Are the resources free?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
What if I cannot find my exact topic?
Try a nearby title. Habitat, biome and nutrient topics appear under several names, such as SAVANNA BIOME, Temperate Deciduous Woodland and Nutrient Cycles. You can also build your own mind map or flashcards for the gap and keep them with your revision.
