I am alive, I thank God. I acquired three rabbits at 1.5 dollars so I spent time looking for food for them. It was a dry season so I could go as further as riverbanks to get vegetation. I also helped out in household chores such as fetching water using a bicycle from the borehole that is 5km away. My biology had told me to write summary about ecology. The subtopics include Concepts of Ecology: Ecology , Habitat, Niche, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biomass, Carrying capacity, Factors in an ecosystem
• Abiotic factors (environmental factors) - light, temperature, atmospheric pressure, salinity, humidity, pH and wind
• Biotic factors
• Inter-relationships - competition, predation, saprophytism, parasitism and symbiosis
• Nitrogen cycle
Energy flow in an ecosystem: Food chains, food webs, decomposers, pyramids ofnumbers and pyramids of biomassPopulation estimation methods: Quadrant, Line transect, Belt transect, Capture-recapture
Adaptations of plants to various habitats: Xerophytes, Mesophytes (commonterrestrial plants), Hydrophytes - Nymphea, Salvinia spp, Halophytes - mangrove
Effect of pollution on human beings and other organisms: Causes, effects andcontrol of pollutants in air, water and soil
Human diseases
• Bacterial diseases - cholera and typhoid
• Protozoa - malaria and amoebic dysentry (amoebiasis)
• Ascaris lumbricoides and Schistosoma: Mode of transmission, Effects of the parasites on the hosts, Adaptive characteristics of the parasites,
Control/prevention of diseases associated with the parasites.
There is no single paper that has ever missed such questions, I believe I am going to perform well.
