Survivorship curve type and __- selected species that have little parental care.
r-selected/ type 3
Limits to population growth that increase as the population size increases. Give an example.
density-dependent
mutualism
___________ flows through an ecosystem and _________ cycles within an ecosystem
Energy, matter
invasive species
The name for an organism that regulates its body temperature
endotherm
The maximum population size an environment can support.
carrying capacity
when two species live in close proximity/together. Can be mutualistic, parasitic, or commensalistic
symbiosis
The size of your ecosystem depends on....
Producers/ Primary productivity
Leads to an increase in atmospheric CO2, run-off, soil desertification, eutrophication, and loss of biodiversity
deforestation
This organism would have a lower metabolic rate at lower temperatures
ectotherm OR hibernating organism
The trophic level with the greatest population size
producers
If this species declines, biodiversity will decrease
keystone species
how many trophic levels?
list two competitors
5
The first species to colonize an area after a disturbance. What 'type' of species are they?
Pioneer- r-selected/ Type 3
A behavioral adaptation that helps conserve and/or obtain energy
migration, hibernation,
The rmax (per capita growth rate) of a population growing exponentially is 0.05. If the population is currently 50, what will be the population size in two years?
55.125
the relationship between a California condor and a hunter. Extra: the reason why california condors are threatened (biological term)
commensalism/ biomagnification
The amount of energy available to a quaternary consumer in an ecosystem that produces 2600 kcals of energy.
0.26kcal
2 different greenhouse gases and their sources
CO2- fossil fuels
CH4- methane
Smaller endothermic organisms have a greater metabolic rate than larger organisms because
Greater surface area to volume ratio. Need to generate more heat to make up for heat loss.
If a population of hawks is 25 in 2024, and has 6 births and 4 deaths; what will the population size be in 2026
29.16
Coyotes and wolves hunt at different times of day to optimize population size
temporal resource partitioning
Based oon
