In BIO1111, we are studying now about Ecology. How might the material about Ecology have relevance to your own life? Here are some of the ways previous BIO1111 connected Ecology to their lives: Some students connected knowing the material on Ecology to their future goals, for example in addressing environmental issues. One past BIO1111 student noted how learning about ecology connects to her goals for protecting the onvironment. This student found the material on the science behind global warming to be useful for these goals, since learning about how we increase carbon dioxide in the help me encourage more people to recycle and reduce pollution." Many students find Ecology to be very important to their sense of who they are, their knowledge of their lives, or to their values. One past BIO1111 student wrote activities such as kayaking, hiking, camping, going to the beach and just a walk on a sunny day. The student elaborated on how'a the abiotic and biotic factors play a huge role" in this environment, and changes such as too much nutrients at cause algal blooms the dissolve oxygon supply to organisms" can cause a change" and a how even smal part well as other organisms playing theirs to create a stable, "drastic "domino effect and how its crucial to play our as continuous environment so everyone can enjoy to features that mother earth has to ofor past Blo1111 wroem.mee Some students simply find something in Ecology that connects to something they are interestin.

Explanation / Answer

You can talk about the Eutrophication of lakes,that result due to dumping and washing away of agricultural fertilizers and industrial wastes ,which leads to algal bloom in the lake ,which in turn reduces the dissolved oxygen content of the lake ,causing the death of aquatic animals.Hence,Ecology teaches us to dispose the wastes safely,so that it doesn't destroy ecosystems.

One can also site similar effects of oil spills on ecosystems. Through Ecology one understands the need to protect the environment and the methods for rapid recovery from the damage.
