This is the difference between interspecific and intraspecific competition.
What is intraspecific is within a species while interspecific is between species?
200
This is the type of population growth a population would exhibit with an abundance of resources.
What is exponential growth?
200
This is what helps to determine an area's climate.
What is the angle of the sun's rays?
300
This the term for a species that has an unusually large effect on an ecosystem.
What is a keystone species?

Rocks play a big role in this biogeochemical cycle.
What is the phosphorus cycle?
400
This is the percentage of original energy that makes it to the next level in the food chain.
What is 10%?
