Ecosystem Ecology and Conservation Biology
This is a term for the speed at which an ecosystem recovers after being disturbed
What is resilience?
These are the most correct terms for animals whose body temperature are primarily dependent on internally or externally generated heat sources (two opposite terms).
What is endothermic and ectothermic?
These are the four main strategies for ingestion.
What is filter feeding, bulk feeding, fluid feeding, and substrate feeding?
This type of circulatory system requires less energy than its counterpart, despite being more flexible and maintaining lower pressures.
What is an open-circulatory system?
This is the gas that regulates respiration
What is CO2?
An example of this type of succession would occur after a storm that blows down 5 trees in the same general area
What is secondary succession?
The rate of exchange with the environment is directly proportional to this
What is surface area?
This is the location of the bulk of chemical digestion
What is the duodenum?
This is the type of circulatory system, number of circuits, and the number of heart chambers that an amphibian has.
What is a three-chambered, closed, two circuit circulatory system?
This is the site of gas exchange in humans
What are the alveoli?
This is an example of why wildfires are beneficial to some forests/prairies
What is producing nutrient rich soil?
What is reducing the risk of future catastrophic fires?
What is triggering serotinous seeds/cones?
These are the three types of connective tissue
What is loose, fibrous, and bone/cartilage?
Invertebrates have one of these two types of digestive systems
What are gastrovascular cavities or alimentary canals?
This is the term for electrical signals that are generated from nodes in the heart and not from the nervous system
What is myogenic?
This is the point at which a bolus of air moves into bird lungs
What is the first exhalation?
These are the three categories for the IUCN RedList that are considered "threatened"
What is vulnerable, endangered, and critically endangered?
This is a type of symmetry where an animal can be divided into matching halves by multiple lines
What is radial symmetry?
This is the area of pseudo-ruminants (and birds) hold microorganisms to help aid in cellulose digestion
What is the cecum?
This is where the highest blood pressure?
What is in the aorta?
This is the site of gas exchange in insects
What are the tracheoles within individual cells?
This equation estimated the effective population size for a population
What is Ne = (4NfNm) / (Nf+Nm)?
This is a measure of the minimum metabolic rate for non-growing, non-eating, at rest ectotherms
What is standard metabolic rate (SMR)?
These are the three phases of digestion regulation in humans
What are the cephalic phase, the gastric phase, and the intestinal phase?
These are the three steps of the cardiac cycle
What is
1. Both atria contract pushing blood into ventricles
2. Both atria relax and after a slight delay ventricles contract
3. Ventricles relaxes
These are the three types of gills
What are tufted, filament, and lamellar?
