Basics of Ecology
This is the Area in which an Organism lives.
What is a Habitat?
One species living in the same area.
What is a Population?
This Organism will eat anything that is edible.
What is an Omnivore?
The pathway that shows how energy flows from one organize to another.
What is a food chain?
This is anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is Matter?
This is the area of Earth that Supports Life.
What is the Biosphere?
This is when Organisms compete over the same resource.
What is Competition?
This Organism specifically eats meat.
What is a Predator/Carnivore?
This displays many connected food chains.
What is a Food Web?
Water, Carbon-oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus are all part of what?
What is the Biochemical cycle?
This is a Community and its Abiotic environment.
What is an Ecosystem?
This relationship benefits both Organisms.
What is Mutualism?
This Organism helps to recycle dead plant and animal matter.
What is a Decomposer/Detritivore?
Chemical substances that an Organism needs to survive.
What are Nutrients?
This person studies the movement of water through the BioSphere.
What is a Hydrologist?
This is the study of organisms and their relationships with their environment.
What is the Field of Ecology?
This Relationship only benefits one Organism.
What is Parasitism?
This is the process by which plants capture and convert Nitrogen.
What is Nitrogen Fixation?
This is a step in the food chain.
What is a Trophic level?
This is the exchange of water though the Biosphere.
What is the Water Cycle?
This person studies all Organic and Inorganic matter living in an area.
What is an Ecologist?
This is the role or job an organism has in its environment.
What is a Niche?
This is the total mass living at a Tropic Level.
What is Biomass?
This organism makes their own food.
What is an Autotroph?
This is the exchange of matter through the biosphere.
What are Biochemical Cycles?
