Definitions
A geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. It contains biotic factors as well as abiotic factors.
Ecosystem
The particular set of abiotic and biotic conditions and resources to which an organism or population responds
niche
Examples of these FACTORS are the interactions between organisms that live in the same ecosystem
Biotic factors
Non-living, physical factors that influence organisms and ecosystem
Abiotic Factors
The consumption of one species by another.
Predation
These curves describe a gerenalized response of populations to a particular set of conditions (abiotic and biotic factors) For example the curve of hares dying we saw last year.
J and S Curves
Environment where a species normally lives
habitat
A group of organisms that share common characteristics and interbreed to produce fertile offspring
Species
The actual conditions and resources in which a species exists due to biotic interactions
Realized Niche
When species feed on primary producers or plants.
Herbivory
The study of interactions among and between organisms in their abiotic environment.
Ecology
One species is benefit and the other one is harmed. Is a biotic factor. A interaction between two species. Is consider a symbiotic relationship.
Parasitism
How do you call a species which breaks down dead or DECOMPOSING organisms to feed. For example a woodlouse or a fly?
Decomposer
The full range of conditions and resources in which a species could survive and reproduce
Fundamental Niche
Interaction between species or symbiotic relationship where one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped.
Commensalism
Interaction among organisms that vie for the same resource in an ecosystem
Competition
A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time, and which are capable of interbreeding
Population
Competition between individuals in 2 different species.
Interspecific Competition
Interaction between species or symbiotic relationship in which both members benefit.
Mutualism
Mention two characteristics of a scientific name for a species that has been written correctly:
Written in italics; Underlined; Genus first; capitlized and species second. It would be valid to provide an example.
Competition between individuals in a population
Intraspecifc Competition
Which one could be the correct scientific name for the endemic specie Axolote, from México. AMBISTOMA MEXICANO, Ambystoma mexicanum, ambistoma de mexico, Ajolote.
Ambystoma mexicanum
Carrying capacity
Mention 2 examples of Abiotic Factors
Temperature, pH, Sunlight, Salinity, Precipitation, etc
The role or position a species has in its environment. It's how the organism "makes its living"
