This project
Our mission was to select an ecosystem, and analyze it for how humans were impacting it. From this, we were to create a plan to solve the issue we encountered. In addition, we were also instructed to actually take action on the subject, and do something that would make a difference.

Key Terms
- Symbiosis: Symbiosis is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms, be it mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic.
- Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
- Equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2.
- Cellular Respiration: Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
- Equation: C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP
- Energy Flow: Energy produces convert energy either from the sun (photosynthesis) or from chemicals in the environment (chemosynthesis) . These are referred to as Autotrophs, and are the primary producers in an ecosystem. From there, energy moves up the trophic levels. These represent the general levels of organisms and the niches (or jobs) in the ecosystem. First level consumers give their energy through consumption to second level consumers, and the process continues. At the top of the process is the apex predator.
- Ecosystem: An ecosystem is a community made up of living organisms and nonliving components such as air, water, and mineral soil.
- Carbon Cycle:
Reflection:
During this group I realized that i need to manage my time wisely, because my group have to film the night before the assignment was due. I really hoped that I can have better communication between my group mates, because I was not pitching in ideas, and leading my group. But in my opinion I did not have a bad group. We worked hard on the script, which turn out to be pretty good. In addition we did really good research on the project to make sure the information is correct.
