At a basic level, what does breaking down food provide for the body?
Energy
100
This symbiotic relationship is when both organisms benefit from their relationship.
Mutualism
100
this organism is accelerating the rate at which environments are altered and affected, species are going extinct, and the planet it warming.
Humans
100
A population's/species' this is the maximum amount of that organism the environment can support.
Carrying capacity

Name this person:
He-man.
200
An organisms this is the physical range in which it can survive.
Habitat
200
This trophic level (role of your food web) usually has the highest population levels (in biomass)
(Primary) Producers
200
Since evolution occurs at this level of ecological organization instead of the organism level - you will not develop gills if you are drowning.
Population
200
When doing our biodiversity sampling, we found that this environment had more biodiversity when compared to the more developed one.
Natural/undeveloped.

How many miles of highway are in Texas? (1000 mile leeway)
3233 miles

Photosynthesis is the process by which some producers convert light energy into sugars. Cellular Respiration is the process by which organisms convert sugar into energy. Which of these processes do plants perform?
both
300
Roughly how much energy transfers to the next trophic level in a food web?
10%
300
Natural selection occurs when one of these becomes more frequent because it increases survivability and/or reproduction rates.
Gene (acc. trait)
300
What does it mean to be endangered?
In danger of going extinct.
300
How many pairs of ribs are in a typical human body?
Twelve

Name two density-dependent population growth factors.
Disease, predation, food availability, competition.
400
This species interaction occurs when members of the same species are fighting for resources.
INTRAspecific competition
400
This is the role of an organism within its ecosystem and relationships with other species.
Niche
400
This kind of organism is one non-native to an ecosystem, but has been introduced to it. These usually outcompete the native species and wreak havoc on their new ecosystem.
Invasive species (acc. introduced species)
400
Though not in first place, these two teams have the same amount of all-time Super Bowl wins with 5.
Who are the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys?
500
This reproductive strategy involves producing many offspring, providing little parental care, and having short life spans.
r-strategy
500
This is a species that is highly important to the stability of its ecosystem/food web. Its removal would be catastrophic.
Keystone species
500
Mammals all share a recent common ancestor. Populations of that ancestor species began to occupy different habitats and, over time, evolved into new species occupying those different habitats. This is an example of this type of evolution.
Divergent Evolution
500
Why is high biodiversity important?
Prevents the collapse of ecosystems. Less-diverse ecosystems are more prone to disease, famine, etc. and thus eradication.
500
In which country was the croissant invented?
Austria
