Name a factor today that is accelerating the carbon cycle.
Human activity.

What is behavior?
the way an organism reacts to changes in its internal condition or external environment; response to stimuli
100
What percent of energy is gained from consuming another organism?
10%

What is symbiosis? Give three examples.
When organisms live together and interact regularly with one other. Mutualism Parasitism Commensalism
100
What is population density?
Population density is the number of individuals per unit area.

Give an example of learned behavior.
OPE RANT CONDITIONING: Learning a behavior through practice/repetition for reward/punishment; training CLASSICAL CONDITIONING: Mental connection between stimulus and reward/punishment INSIGHT LEARNING: Reasoning; applying knowledge to new situations HABITUATION: Decrease or stop a response to a stimuli
200
What level on the trophic pyramid has the most energy and why?
The autotroph level, because they get their energy straight from the sun.
200
Explain Mutualism. Provide examples.
Both species or organisms involved gain benefit. (examples may vary)
200
Explain the concept of Carrying capacity.
The number of organisms of a species that an environment or habitat can sustain.

Summarize the Water Cycle.
In the water cycle water is heated up by the sun and enters this gas state called evaporation. This water vapor then condenses and gathers and becomes a cloud. After a certain amount of time the water over saturates the cloud and falls from the cloud. That process is called precipitation, then the water runs off to a main body of water to get heated up again.
300
What is Learned Behavior?
Behavior as a result of experience
300
Explain why autotrophs are the base of the trophic pyramid.
Autotrophs are the base of the trophic pyramid because they get all their energy from the sun so they are a good place to start.
300
Explain Parasitism. Provide examples
When one species is hurt and the other benefits. (examples may vary)
300
What are R-selected organisms?
Organisms that grow out of control, exponentially.
400
How does respiration and the carbon cycle relate to each other?
(answers may differ)
400
What is parental care and explain the significance of it.
Parental Care is when the parent cares for their offspring until they are old enough to care for
400
What is Habitat Fragmentation? Give examples of it.
The separation of wilderness areas from other wilderness area. A road that goes through a habitat and the building of a dam, etc.
400
Explain Commensalism. Provide examples
When one species benefits form the relationship the other is not affected. (examples may vary)
400
What are K-selected organisms? What are some characteristics?
Usually mammals longer life span Stable environments Parental care Big
500
What is the purpose of the Water cycle
To renew water.
500
What is an innate behavior?
A behavior known how to do from birth, not taught to someone.
500
What is the biggest threat to biodiversity? Explain
Habitat loss because species might die a lot at a time. (ETC.. answers may vary)
500
Explain the debate some scientists have about commensalism.
some scientists think that the relationship is early mutualism and the relationship is not understood yet.
500
Explain the concept of Density Dependent Factors. Give examples.
Factors that limit the population and only exists when the population become too large. Disease Competition Parasites Food Etc..
