General Ecology & Ecosystem Limitations Biomes Biological Interactions Energy Transfer Biogeochemical Cycles
100
What is a population?
A level of organization that includes only the members of one species
100
What is the taiga?
This type of biome has coniferous trees
100
What is mutualism?
An interaction in which both species benefit
100
What is a food web?
This would be a more realistic way of drawing the interactions in an ecosystem than a food chain
100
What is precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail
200
What is an ecosystem?
This level of organization contains the biotic AND abiotic components of an environment
200
What is the deciduous forest?
We are in this type of biome
200
What is predation?
Food chains show this type of biological interaction
200
What are omnivores?
Animals that eat both plants and animals, typically found on the third tier of the energy pyramic
200
What are mass and energy?
Neither of these things can be created or destroyed
300
What is a disturbance?
Fires or deforestation are both examples of this effect on ecosystems
300
What is the grasslands/savanna?
Grazing animals would most likely be found in this biome
300
What is intraspecific competition?
Competition between members of the SAME species
300
What is 1%?
This is enough energy from the sun to fuel the entire food pyramid
300
What is transpiration? (evapotranspiration also ok)
Evaporation from the leaves and flowers of plants
400
What is a keystone species?
Species earn this title because they have an effect on their environment that is disproportionate to their population size
400
Benthic zone
Zone located at the bottom of aquatic biomes
400
What is parasitism?
If viruses were alive, coronavirus would most likely have this type of interaction with humans
400
What is a autotroph or producer?
Two words we discussed that describe organisms that make their own food
400
What are the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmostphere?
The three abiotic parts of earth that are affected by biogeochemical cycles
500
What is carrying capacity?
Natural selection decides who survives when an organism reaches this point with its resource-level
500
What is the desert?
Vacuoles (a type of organelle) would be most helpful in this biome
500
What is commensalism?
Cattle egrets have this type of relationship with buffaloes
500
What is a decomposer?
Some of the energy not passed to higher trophic levels is broken down by this type of organism
500
What is carbon fixation?
When carbon is converted (by plants) from a gas to a solid (photosynthesis is not the answer I am looking for - more specific)
