Chapter 42: Organisms and Their Environment
Wednesday (7/19): Access "Chapter 42: Organisms In Their Environment" from the course textbook (It is located in the class Google folder [AP-BIO View]:[!Units]:[07 - Ecology]:[42 - Organisms In Their Environment]. The filename is "POL Chp42_Organisms in Their Environment.pdf." Read Concepts 42.1 and 42.2 (pp. 822-830). Use the directed reading worksheet (located in the same folder - file name: "AP-BIO CHP42 Directed Reading.pdf") to help guide you through the material. Pay special attention to the INVESTIGATION on page 824. Complete the "Do You Understand Concept 42.1?" questions on p. 825 and the "Apply The Concept" questions on p. 829. Submit your answers using your Google Drive Assignments folder.
