Unit III- Ecology (Guided Notes)
... All organisms need energy in order to grow, reproduce, and perform the activities necessary for survival. The amount of organic matter in an ecosystem is its biomass. The rate at which an ecosystem’s producers build biomass is the ecosystem’s primary productivity. Define primary productivity: ...
