What is a species?
Species is a group of organisms so similar to another that they can breed and produce fertile offspring.
What is niches?
A niche is the role the species plays, and includes the types of food it eats, where it lives where it reproduces and its relationships with other species.
What releases into the atmosphere as a waste product?
Plants and animals releases 02 into the atmosphere as a waste product.
What is an energy flow?
The flow of energy through living things within an ecosystem.
What is Parasites?
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.
What is a population?
Population is a group of a same specie living in the same area.
What is a water cycles?
The path that all water follows as it moves around Earth.
What releases Co2 into the atmosphere through combustion?
Factories and cars
Is the energy flow important?
Yes, energy flow is one of the main factors that support the survival of a large number of organisms
What is a food chains?
A food chain is a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.
What is community?
Community is groups of different species living together in a defined area.
What do we use water cycles for?
Enables the availability of water for all living organisms and regulates weather patterns on our planet.
What is the carbon cycle?
The series of processes by which carbon compounds are inter converted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.
What is an Autographs?
An autotroph is an organism that produces complex organic compounds using carbon from simple substances such as carbon dioxide.
What is a food web?
A network of complex feeding relationships among the various organisms in an ecosystem
What is the difference between an ecological niche and a habitat?
A habitat is the place where an organism lives while a niche is that organism's role within that environment.
What are the 6 categories of water cycles?
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Transpiration
Runoff
Infiltration
When do plants use co2?
During photosynthesis
What is the autotroph for?
Autotrophs are fundamental to the food chains of all ecosystems in the world.
What is an Energy pyramid?
An ecological pyramid is a graphic representation designed to show the biomass or bioproductivity at each trophic level of an ecosystem.
What are biotic factors?
Living factors that influence an ecosystem, Plant life and animal life.
What are the most important parts of the water cycle?
What do animals use co2 for?
Respiration
What is a Heterotrophs?
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food, but rather feeds on other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter.
What is Succession?
Succession is the order of colonization of species in an ecosystem from a barren or destroyed area of land.
