https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d I appreciate you Mr. P! en-us 2021-02-02 03:00:13 UTC 2025-12-09 09:36:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f431.png kjavier2 https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151672283 1.a.2 "Symbiosis is a close and long-term interaction
between two species in an ecosystem.
Types of symbiosis include mutualism,
commensalism, and parasitism."

Mutualism is when both parties benefit, commensalism is when one party stays neutral while the other benefits, and parasitism is when one party benefits at the expense of another.]]> 2021-02-02 03:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151672283 kjavier2 https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151672581 1.b.1 "A biome contains characteristic communities
of plants and animals that result from, and are
adapted to, its climate."

Biomes are the mixture of biotic and abiotic factors that make a specific region of the earth unique, and determines which kinds of species will thrive in this environment. 

1.c.1 "Freshwater biomes include streams, rivers,
ponds, and lakes. These freshwater biomes are
a vital resource for drinking water."

The same applies for aquatic biomes, only the main abiotic feature that determines which organisms can live in this environment is water (presence, depth, salinity, turbidity, oxygen level). Water is also used for human consumption like the Otay Lake reservoir or the Colorado River.]]> 2021-02-02 03:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151672581 kjavier2 https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151673445 1.d.1 "The carbon cycle is the movement of atoms
and molecules containing the element carbon
between sources and sinks."

The carbon cycle involves living and nonliving things: carbon in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants and used in photosynthesis, incorporated in sugars that animals eat, and exhaled by animals and released into the air or earth/soil. 

1.g.2 "The oceans are the primary reservoir of
water at the Earth’s surface, with ice caps and
groundwater acting as much smaller reservoirs."

There are many places that water is stored in the earth, the oceans making up about 70% of the earth's surface.]]> 2021-02-02 03:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151673445 kjavier2 https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151674300 1.e.4 "The atmosphere is the major reservoir of nitrogen."

Nitrogen from the atmosphere gets fixed by decomposers and other organisms to become incorporated into the soil as nutrients that plants can use! 

1.f.1 "The phosphorus cycle is the movement of
atoms and molecules containing the element
phosphorus between sources and sinks."

Phosphorus also gets fixed into the soil for plants to use for growth and protein synthesis, which is what consumers like us need for energy and protein.]]> 2021-02-02 03:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151674300 kjavier2 https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151675190 1.a.2 "Gross primary productivity is the total rate of photosynthesis in a given area."

This includes ALL energy made, even that released into the atmosphere as heat which is not passed down to the next trophic level.]]> 2021-02-02 03:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151675190 kjavier2 https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151707140 I just want to say that I truly do appreciate you. Thank you for being so understanding of me even if my attendance is not the best, or if I miss a due date or deadline. Your compassion really means the world to me during this time, and my family appreciates you too! Thank you SO MUCH Mr. P! You don't know how much you've done to help me out while my family and I go through this situation with my mom. Thank you thank you thank you :)]]> 2021-02-02 03:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier2/qh5ms358968xwl5d/wish/1151707140
