Definitions
Community vs Population
Community is all living organisms and population is living organisms of one species
All of the living and nonliving things in an area would be called a(n) .
Ecosystem
Where is gaseous water often found?
Atmosphere
Disease is a density-_______ limiting factor.
dependent
What are aquifers?
A body of rock or sediment underground that holds water.
Abiotic vs Biotic definition
abiotic is non-living
biotic is living
List 4 traits for an organism to be qualified as living
Options: made of cells, respond to stimuli, adapt to environment, grow/develop/reproduce, have a metabolism/use energy, or have DNA(be made of genetic material)
What is the chemical form of water?
H2O
What is the maximum population the environment can support called?
Carrying capacity
What percentage of the earth's water is found in the ocean?
97%
What is denitrification?
When carbon is converted back to N2 and released into the atmosphere.
A group of humans in Los Angeles would be considered a .
Population
Pollution, combustion, fertilization
Difference between exponential and logistic growth? Draw a picture as well.
Exponential keeps increasing. Logistic hits a carrying capacity and levels out.
What is another name for the water cycle?
The Hydrologic Cycle
What is transpiration?
When plants give off water from their stomata which travels back into the atmosphere for condensation.
List 3 biomes and one major identifying characteristic for each one.
Tropical rainforest-rain, tundra-snow, desert-hot/sand, savanna-grass, etc.
Name the Carbon cycle stage: When carbon is released as a waste product into the atmosphere by animals.
Cellular Respiration
What 2 things increase population density and what 2 things decrease population density?
Birth (natality) and immigration
Death (fatality) and emigration
What are the 3 dispersion methods? Draw a picture!
Uniform/Even, Random, Clumped
Cellular respiration vs Photosynthesis and how they are related
Photorespiration starts with carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen.
Cellular respiration starts with glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and energy
Describe the difference between a dichotomous key and a cladogram.
Dichotomous key helps you determine species. Cladogram shows similar characteristics that species share.
Name the two macromolecules Nitrogen is a part of AND give the chemical formula for atmospheric nitrogen AND tell me what organism helps in every step of the nitrogen cycle.
Nucleic acids and proteins, N2, and Bacteria
Give 3 examples of an abiotic limiting factor and 3 examples of a biotic limiting factor on a population.
Climate change, natural disaster, etc
Disease, predation, competition
What are the differences in the 3 survivorship curves?
Type I: good, long parenting for few children; long lives
Type II: sometimes take care of young, sometimes do not; sometimes live long, sometimes do not
Type III: have tons of children, don't parent, and die quickly
