Biotechnologists! Prepare for Testing!
Models and links for preparing for the test on Topic 1.
Testing of 3rd-year biotechnology students on Topic 1 (the first two sections of the textbook) is scheduled for October 14. The syllabus is here. Topics 1 (Ecology and the biosystems it studies) and 2 (Biospherology). The testing description is here. I recommend preparing using interactive models. The models are located here. Many models there include guidance on what exactly to do with them. In my opinion, special attention should be paid to biogeochemical cycles. Unfortunately, modern browsers do not support this format. Therefore, you need to download a file containing the player and models, then unpack it. In Windows, run the player, open models via the “File” menu, and work with them. The player and models can also be downloaded as separate archives: I_Levels_of_Biosystems.zip I_Daisyworld.zip I_Hydrological_Cycle.zip I_BGC_Cycle_Carbon.zip I_BGC_Cycle_Nitrogen.zip I_BGC_Cycle_Phosphorus_and_Energy_for_Cycles.zip I_History_of_Life_on_Earth.zip I_Oxygen_Revolution.zip I_Plate_Tectonics.zip I_Continental_Drift.zip I_Atmospheric_Greenhouse_Effect.zip I_Planetary_Temperature.zip
