exploitation
100
Organisms will respond to changes in their internal and external environments to maintain this state for proper function
Homeostasis
100
this is a type of behavior that conveys information between one organism to another.
Communication
100
This evolutionary process explains how genes that code traits that increase fitness will increase in frequency over time. Also called survival of the fittest.
Natural Selection
100
The rate at which an organism acquires and uses energy for repair, maintenance, growth, and reproduction.
Metabolic Rate
100
Food webs and trophic pyramids are models to measure the transfer of this resource in an ecosystem.
Energy

When the doctor hits a hammer on your knee, she is testing an example of this type of innate response.
Reflex or Knee-jerk
200
There are different methods of communicating information. The waggle dance is used by bees to describe the location of nectar sources and is a common example of this communication method.
Tactile/Touch
200
this type of behavior has become an adaptation for allowing individuals to work together towards the population’s survival.
Cooperation

Ectotherms lay eggs to reproduce due to the high energy consumption of birthing. The monotremata is a group of mammals that is an exception to this rule, and include animals made famous by the cartoon, Phineas and Ferb.
Perry the Platypus
200
There are many types of consumers: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. These organisms can also be called this group in the trophic pyramid.
Heterotrophs
300
Most babies know how to grasp with their tiny hands moments after the womb. Typing, writing, and even shadow puppets, however, are this other type of behavior.
Learned behavior
300
Organisms can respond to information communicated to them in a multitude of ways. However, one of the driving factors in their responses, including asserting dominance, finding food, and predator warnings, is this concept.
Fitness
300
hunter-gatherers, bears, bees, and even modern-day humans use this adaptive trait to comb through their external environment for survival.
Foraging
300
This mammal can also live birthe young but are known for their carrying their underdeveloped fetuses in pouches instead of staying in a womb.
Marsupial
300
a net loss in energy or negative metabolic rate can eventually cause this state in most organisms.
Death

Phototropism is a plant’s innate response to directional changes of this energy source.
Light/Sun
400
Although zebra finches can innately sing, the contents in their audible songs are affected by this type of setting.
External Environment
400
Innate behaviors, such as birds feeding their chicks when hearing a cry, are common parent-offspring interactions due to increasing this in the organism’s population.
Fitness
400
The multiple methods of birthing can be distilled into two types: developing inside the parent or outside of the parent. The offspring can either be a developing embryo, or in this type of vessel.
Egg
400
This trophic group converts inorganic energy, such as light, chemicals, and heat, into useable energy for life.
Autotrophs/ Producers
500
Seasonal Affective Disorder can be a result of this type of innate response to the amount of sunlight each day.
Photoperiodism
500
Eminem’s lyrics in Lose Yourself that include:
“His palms are sweaty,
knees weak, arms are heavy.
There's vomit on his sweater already,
mom's spaghetti”
is describing this type of behavior.
Fight or Flight
500
Walruses adopting orphan pups is an example of this contradictory adaptation, which sacrifices the individual’s fitness for increasing population survival.
Altruism
500
This metabolic process is a main reason why endotherms are self reliant for homeostatic warmth and called warm blooded.
Cellular Respiration

Elk were overpopulating the Yellowstone ecosystem, overgrazing on trees and shrubs. This was caused by removing the grey wolves, considered tertiary consumer, or this.
