Understand what makes up an ecosystem, microbiome, guild and population. Be able to list the
physical characteristics of an ecosystem that impact the nature of the microbiome present in that
ecosystem. Be aware of the process of bioremediation and the role that microbes play in this
process. Understand the environmental impact of mining and the nature of the organisms that
thrive in these pollute environments. Be aware of the role of microorganisms in the major
biogeochemical cycles. Focus on the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Understand the role of primary
producers and the biochemical process that allows for carbon fixation. Understand the role of
decomposers in completion of the carbon cycle..
