What is a community?
300
is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat
What is secondary succession?
400
non-renewable=existing in finite quantity; not capable of being replenished.
example: oil and natural gas
renewable=capable of being renewed.
example: biomass, water, and wind

parasitism
What is the relationship where one organism is benefitted and the other is harmed?
