Levels of Ecology
This is the ecological level that includes all surfaces, atmosphere, and hydrosphere occupied by living organisms.
Biosphere
This biome includes ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers with less than 0.5 ppt salinity.
These organisms produce food through photosynthesis.
Producers
In this interaction, both species benefit.
Mutualism
What is Ms. Burns' first name?
Emma
This level consists of different populations of flora and fauna living together in an area.
Community
This forest biome is the most diverse and lacks seasonal climate.
Tropical forest
This cycle involves evaporation, transpiration, and precipitation.
Water Cycle
In this interaction, one species benefits while the other is unaffected.
Commensalism
What degree did Ms. Burns get in college?
Bachelors in Marine Biology
Groups of organisms of the same species occupying a particular space at the same time.
Population
Wetlands dominated by emergent vegetation are known as these.
Marshes
This cycle begins when plants release oxygen during photosynthesis.
Oxygen Cycle
This occurs when organisms struggle for the same resource.
Competition
How many dogs does Ms. Burns have?
2
This level includes biotic and abiotic interactions and the flow of energy and materials.
Ecosystem
This biome is dominated by grasses and mostly devoid of trees and shrubs.
Grassland Biome
This cycle relies on plants absorbing a nutrient through their roots and animals releasing it after consumption.
Phosphorous Cycle
A fox hunting a squirrel is an example of this interaction.
Predation
Does Ms. Burns have any brothers or sisters?
yes, one younger brother.
These describe how organisms match environmental conditions and respond to resources and competitors.
Niches
This term refers to any part of Earth suitable to support a species permanently or temporarily.
Habitat
Lightning can fix this element by splitting atmospheric molecules.
Nitrogen
Detritivores play this role in ecosystems by consuming decayed plants and animals.
Decomposing
