Ecology, basically
A/B iotic
More pop, more problems
Limitless Populations
WildCard ftw
100
The study of how organisms interact with their environment.
What is Ecology?
100
Any living factor in an ecosystem.
What is BIOTIC?
100
Animals moving INTO a population is called this.
What is Immigration?
100
Food, water, space, and predation are all examples of these factors that can restrict population growth.
What is a limiting factor?
100
One wolf living in Yellowstone represents this level of ecological organization.
What is an organism?
200
Living and nonliving things interacting in one area make this level up.
What is Ecosystem.
200
Sunlight is an example of this type of ecosystem factor.
What is ABIOTIC?
200
Animals moving OUT OF a population is called this.
What is Emigration?
200
This is the maximum number of individuals an ecosystem can support.
What is Carrying Capacity?
200
After a disease kills most of the corn plants in an ecosystem, this will most likely happen to the corn-eating bird population.
What is decrease?
300
One individual sunflower represents this level of ecology.
What is an Organism?
300
After a flood sweeps through a desert ecosystem, this abiotic factor becomes suddenly abundant and dramatically changes the ecosystem.
What is Water / Flood?
300
These TWO processes increase population size by adding individuals.
What are Births and Deaths.
300
Competition and predation are examples of this type of limiting factor, whose effects depend on population density.
What is Density Dependent?
300
The shark and smaller fish represent these two roles in this feeding relationship.
What are the Predator and Prey?
400
A rabbit, hawk, snake, and grass living in the same area make up this.
What is Community?
400
Two examples of biotic factors found in this ecosystem.
What are the LILY PADS, LAKE GRASS, GOLDFISH, or MOSS (plants/animals).
400
This ecological interaction occurs when two species fight for the same limited resource.
What is competition?
400
Hurricanes, droughts, and other abiotic limits are examples of this type of limiting factor.
What is Density Independent?
400
After a forest’s deer population grows from 200 to 800, it remains near 800 for several years.
This ecological concept explains why the population levels off.
What is carrying capacity?
500
Put these in order from SMALLEST to LARGEST: community, organism, ecosystem, population.
Organism → Population → Community → Ecosystem
500
Two examples of abiotic factors found in this ecosystem.
What are the ROCKS, WATER, SUNLIGHT, OXYGEN, or HEAT.
500
A population starts with 33 turtles.
4 turtles are born, 6 die, 3 immigrate, and 2 emigrate.
What is the final population?
How are there 32 turtles?
500
This is the carrying capacity of the butterfly population.
What is 80?
500
A community becomes an ecosystem when these types of factors are included.
What are Abiotic Factors?
