An Ecology Mix
Shows the progression of a common atom throughout our environment. Essential element to life.
What is the carbon cycle?
This variable typically is shown on the y axis, and requires another variable to change this one.
What is a dependent variable?
The part of the element on the periodic table which tells you the number of protons in an atom, can also tell you how many protons & electrons are in an atom.
What is the atomic number?
This type of competition limits both populations to a carrying capacity & causes the populations to cycle.
What is predation?
Movement of individuals into a population from somewhere else.
What is immigration?
A species if it were removed, would cause an ecosystem to change drastically.
What is a keystone species?
This type of graph is used to track changes over a set period of time.
What is a line graph?
This part of the atom can also tell you how many bonds it can make.
What is succession? or What is ecological sucession?
The movement of individuals out of a population to somewhere else.
What is emigration?
When the removal or addition of an organism causes changes to multiple trophic levels in an ecosystem.
What is a trophic cascade?
The number grows large quickly, but begins to even out.
What is logistic (growth, graph)?
This type of bond is weak and is between two molecules.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This type of competition limits one population to carrying capacity while pushing the other to extinction.
What is interspecific competition? What is competition between species?
The ideal number of individuals an ecosystem can support.
What is carrying capacity?
This type of reproductive species type is smaller in size, short generation times, many offspring, and is a type 3 survivorship curve.
What is a r selected species?
The larger the number is, the faster it grows.
What is exponential (growth, graph)?
Located in the outermost shell of an atom that can be shared or transferred and used to bond with other atoms.
What are valence electrons?
The community of organisms that live in an area once primary secession is complete.
What is a climax community?
An environmental factor that stops populations from growing or causes them to decline.
What is a limiting factor?
This type of reproductive species type has long generation times, few offspring, high parental care, and is a type 1 survivorship curve.
What is a K selected species?
A variable that can stand alone and isn't changed by others.
What is an independent variable?
This type of bonding occurs when atoms share electrons in order to fill their outer orbitals.
What are covalent bonds?
Describes how individuals within a population are organized.
What is population distribution?
The amount of births & immigration equals the amount of deaths & emigration.
What is a stable population?
