What is competition?
100
group of similiar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring
What is a species?

If a population pyramid has 100Kj of energy at the producer level, it would have this much at the secondary consumer level.
What is 1Kj? remember the 10% rule!!!
200
One party benefits the other just doesn't care in this relationship
What is commensalism?
200
Series of steps in which organisms transfer energy
What is a food chain?
200
A term refering to something that was never living
What is abiotic?
200
collection of all the organisms that live in a particular place, together with their nonliving environment
What is an Ecosystm?
200
If only 10% of energy moves up, this is how the rest of the energy is lost.
What is heat?
300
One party benefits the other is harmed in this relationship?
What is Parasitism?
300
The level of the food chain always has the most energy and biomass.
What is the producer level?
300
A stable, mature community that is developed through succession.
What is Climax Community?
300
Scientific study of interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment
What is Ecology?

Birds removing ticks from a cows backside would be a good example of this symbiotic relationship.
What is mutualism?

Where and organism lives and the way in which it uses the conditions around itself.
What is a Niche?
400
Part of earth in which life exists (water, land, air)
What is Biosphere?
400
The largest number of individuals an environment can support
What is carrying capacity?

What is the Sun?

What is competitive exclusion principle?
500
Consists of more than one type of organism living in the same area
What is a Community?

Known as an "S" curve, this Growth Curve shows a populations growth leveling off once it reaches the carrying capacity. Without the carrying capacity it would continue exponential growth.
