Origins of life
Name given to the first living thing that went on to evolve into all life on Earth.
L.U.C.A.
The process in which a species has changed over time is known as this
Evolution
What is ecology?
is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment.
In what Island does Charles Darwing made observations?
Galapagos
What is predation.
Interaction where one organism hunts, kills, and eats another organism. (Prey.)
Spontaneous generation
He is known as the father of evolution and used finches on the Galapagos Islands to develop his theory.
Charles Darwin
Name three things that biodiversity helps humans life
medicine, herbs, food, fresh air, clean water, raw materials, protections, etc.
How can organisms adapt
physical, chemical, climatic and behavioral changes
Describe your adaptation of your feature creature
...
What is the Panspermia theory?
Life did not begin on Earth, rather it took place on another planet or in space and was carried to Earth through mechanisms such as asteroids, meteoroids, comets, interstellar dust, etc.
The evolutionary process whereby an organism becomes better able to live in its habitat or habitats.
Adaptation
name the three branches of biodiversity
genetic
species
ecosystem
Name a way a predator adapted.
Better vision, sharper teeths, sharper claws, hunting strategies, etc.
This interaction occurs between different species when resources are limited.
Competition.
The theory that implies that the development of life is probable wherever the proper physical and chemical conditions where met, and chemicals react together.
Chemosynthesis
Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better suited to the environment survive and reproduce therefore passing down their genes to their offspring?
Natural selection
Name three habitat biodiversity
tundra, forest, dessert, grassland, wetlands, boreal, freshwater, ocean, mountain, savanna, etc
Name a way a prey adapted.
Camouflage, bigger ears to hear better, hiding, etc.
Name the three types of symbiosis
mutualism
commensalism
parasitism
What is the RNA world theory?
Life began as a simple RNA molecule that self-replicated itself to create a complex world of RNA molecules that could carry genetic information
Name one evidence of evolution.
Taxonomic.
Biogeographical.
Paleontological.
Anatomical.
Embryological.
Biochemistry.
Name three threats of biodiversity
pollution, species exploitation, climate change, habitat loss, ocean acidification, invasive species, land and sea use change.
Explain how a trait can be pass depending on natural selection.
Example: When mouses that are white are being hunted and mouses that are brown can survive due to its surrounding, the trait of brown mice is going to be passed down.
Name examples of symbiosis.
1. mutualisms: anemona and clown fish.
2. commensalism: tree frogs and plants.
3. parasitisms: thicks and dogs
