What are the 2 types of factors that make up an ecosystem?
100
Describes the linear relationship and energy flow between organisms.
What is a food chain?
100
The maximum amount of people or organisms an ecosystem can hold at a particular time
What is carrying capacity?
100
A consumer feeds on another consumer
What is predation?
100
The gradual replacement of one type of ecological community by another in the same area
What is succession?
200
Rainforest
What biome is hot and wet year round?
200
Organism which makes their own food. Ex: plants, some bacteria
What is an autotroph and give an example of 1.
200
Compare and contrast logistic growth vs exponential growth, and indicate shape that the curve from graph takes for each type.
What is a logistic curve--S-shaped curve, maxes out at carrying capacity. Represents most species' growth curve. Exponential growth curve: J-shaped, when resources are unlimited; growth is rapid
200
When one member benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed
What is commensalism?
200
Pioneer
What species are those that first colonize an area?
300
Desert
What biome has low precipitation with extreme climate change?
300
Process that magnifies the amount of toxins/contaminants as they progress through the food pyramid. Small quantities get ingested at lower levels but concentrations magnify as they work their way up to the top of the food chain.
What is biomagnification?
300
Natural disasters, extreme changes in climate
What are examples of density-independent factors?
300
When one organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it
What is parasitism
300
Rain forest. (Extra points: Why? <--answer offline)
Which community has more biodiversity, 1 square foot of the Amazonian rain forest vs a square mile in the arctic tundra?
400
Taiga biome
Which LAND biome is the largest of all biomes?
400
Producers
What makes up the first trophic level in a food web?
400
Competition, predation, parasitism, diseases
What is an example of a density-dependent factor?
400
When organisms try to use the same resource, such as mates and food
What is competition
400
Primary does not have soil as growback material or media
What is the difference between primary and secondary succession?
500
Arctic tundra
What biome has long, cold winters and short, cool summers?
500
The rule that states the amount of energy that is transferred to the next level in the food/energy pyramid
What is the 10% rule?
500
Birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration
What are the four population growth factors?
500
When both species benefit from the relationship
What is mutalism
