1. Create a study guide based on the Key Concepts listed in the Chapter 3 Intro. Divide the guide into three parts: Fungi, Plants, and Animals. For each group, make a bulleted list of its key characteristics, its important roles in the environment, and the ways it can harm and/or benefit humans. Include a labelled sketch of a representative example from each group.
2. Look back at the Starting Points questions in the Chapter 3 Intro. Answer these questions using what you have learned in this chapter. Compare your answers with those that you gave at the beginning of the chapter. How has your understanding changed? What new knowledge and skills do you have?
Grade 11 Biology can lead to a wide range of careers. Some require a college diploma or a B.Sc. degree. Others require specialized or postgraduate degrees. This graphic organizer shows a few pathways to careers mentioned in this chapter.
1. Select two careers related to the study of fungi, plants, and animals that you find interesting. Research the educational pathways that you would need to follow to pursue these careers. What is involved in the required educational programs? Prepare a brief report of your findings.
2. For one of the two careers that you chose above, describe the career, the main duties and responsibilities, the working conditions, and the setting. Also outline how the career benefits society and the environment.
