Ecosystem Ecology
Learning Time: 5-15 hours
Content: The structure of ecosystems, biotic and abiotic factors are examined in this subject. Food chains, food webs, and energy flow (pyramids) are taught in detail. Topics such as cycles (water, carbon, nitrogen) and ecosystem balance are covered. In TYT, this subject includes questions about ecosystem relationships and environmental problems. The current curriculum emphasizes climate change and biodiversity conservation efforts. Understanding this subject is important for the development of environmental awareness and for making connections with other biological processes.
