What is a major terrestrial or aquatic life zone characterized by vegetation type or physical environment.

What is a population?
What is a group of the same species occupying a specified area.
100
What are the different types of predator groups?
What is true predators, grazers, parasitism, and parasitoids.
100
What is weather?
What is specific conditions of the atmosphere at a particular place and time.
100
How does biodiversity create higher productivity?
What is biodiversity is more likely to contain the most productive species that use different resources and species can interact to obtain resources that would be unavailable in other situations.
200
What type of biome do we live in?
What is a temperate forest.
200
Why does age matter when it comes to population size?
What is because a younger or older population will not reproduce and are more likely to die.
200
What does it mean when a predator is highly species-specific?
What is they have many complex adaptations specific to just one or a few host species.
200
What is climate change?
What is a significant and persistent change in the mean state of the climate or its variability.
200
How does pollination effect our economy?
What is it is 1/3 of the world food supply and creates a revenue of about $29 billion.
300
What are the characteristics of a desert?
What is very little precipitation with very high temperatures.
300
What is population growth?
What is the change in a population over time.
300
What are ways prey can defend themselves?
What is chemically, camouflage, body armor, mimicry, and cryptic coloration.
300
When does the arctic sea ice reach its minimum?
What is in September.
300
How does food production effect our economy?
What is it creates 6 million tons of food per year along with $57 million.
400
What type of biome has seen the most human domination?
What is a temperate forest.
400
What is population growth affected by?
What is life history (reproduction, survivorship) , immigration, and emigration.
400
What is the effect of species in a food chain upon one another?
What is there is a tendency for predator/prey populations to have coupled cycles.
400
What causes climate to change?
What is changing the incoming solar radiation, changing the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected and by altering the longwave radiation from Earth back towards space
400
How does pest control effect our economy?
What is it helps us reduce the artificial pesticides and money spent on it by 5-10x.
500
What is the Photic zone in a lake or pond?
What is the level to which photosynthetic plants can grow because sun light only reaches here.
500
What is the difference between exponential and logistic growth?
What is exponential growth is a rapidly growing population with sufficient resources whereas logistic growth has a carrying capacity with limiting factors.
500
What is the difference between intraspecific and interspecific in competition?
What is intraspecific is within a species and interspecific is between or among species.
500
Why do we put so much emphasis on CO2 when talking about climate change?
What is because it has a relative high concentration, a high rate of increase, and a high atmospheric lifetime.
500
What are the differences between the protected area approaches?
What is the species approach focuses on one species in particular, the hot spot approach focuses on different hotspots of biodiversity around the world, the ecosystem approach focuses on an entire ecosystem as a whole.
