Vocabulary
The study of how organisms interact with each other and their environment.
Ecology
Living parts of the ecosystem.
Biotic Factors
This characteristic of population has three types: Clumped, Uniform, and Random
Distribution
The flattened peak of a growth curve is known as its:
Steady State
Humans fall within this strategist category
K-Strategists.
Parts of an ecosystem that have never been living.
Abiotic
The role an organism plays in an environment.
Niche
The number of individuals per unit area
Population Density
The type of Survivorship Curve that we as humans follow.
Survivorship Curve Type I
This type of reproduction produces a few offspring each year for several years.
Repeated Reproduction
A group of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar communities.
Biome
The place an organism lives
Habitat
Schools of fish or flocks of birds are typically in this type of distribution.
Clumped Distribution
The upward portion of a growth curve is known as:
Exponential Growth
This type of competition exists between different species.
Interspecific
When an organism produces all of its offspring in a single event.
Big-bang Reproduction
A group of the same species.
Population
Social interactions typically contribute to this type of distribution because the individuals are normally trying to get as far away from each other as possible.
Uniform Distribution
This Survivorship Curve type offers their offspring little to no care.
Survivorship Curve Type III
This determines which type of reproduction an organism will have.
Survival Rate
The amount by which a population's size changes in a given time.
Growth Rate.
An organism must be the following to be considered living: made of cells, able to reproduce, maintain homeostasis, obtain energy to grow and develop, and respond to _____.
Their environment
The area that is inhabited by the population
Geographical Distribution
Rodents and lizards typically follow this Survivorship Curve Type due to their constant death rate over their life span.
Survivorship Curve Type II
Organisms fall under this category of strategists due to its unpredictable environment and temporarily large population size.
R-Strategists
