Expectations

SO3.a

(Clarification statement: Distinguish between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis in ocean organisms.)
SO3.c
Develop and use models to analyze the flow of energy and cycling of matter in marine ecosystems. (Clarification statement: This includes food webs and trophic levels.)
SO3.d
Ask questions to investigate relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in marine ecosystems including estuaries, coral reefs, kelp forests, the open ocean, and the deep ocean.
