Nutrients in Ecology
MISC.
100
A camels hump primarily stores this, a source of metabolic water.
What is fat?
100
3 students are measured for height. They are 5ft, 5.5 ft, and 6ft tall. This is the sample mean:
What is 5.5ft?
100
The primary fish organ for water and salts intake.
What is the gill (s)?
100
The ecological nutrient uptake mechanism that involves "kill and ingest".
What is Predation?
100
The movement of water and/ or salts from higher to lower concentration in order to meet equilibrium.
What is Diffusion?
200
The process by which water changes from liquid phase to gas phase.
What is evaporation?
200
The number of observations included in a data collection effort.
What is Sample Size?
200
An organism exhibiting internal salt concentration that equals environmental salt concentrations.
What is an isomotic organism?
200
Plants convert light energy to metabolic energy through this process.
What is Photosynthesis?
200
Physical expression of a genetic/ allelic trait.
What is Phenotype?
300
Both terrestrial and aquatic organisms can, at times, escape temperature extremes by seeking or building these.
What is micro-climate(s)
300
The middle value in a sample collection series.
What is Statistical Median?
300
A measurement of water content in the air.
What is Relative Humidity?
300
An ecological term for self-feeding, these organisms typically gain life nutrients through light, CO2, or other non-living food sources.
What is an Autotroph?
300
The movement of water and substance in solution between gradients in a single direction and through a semi-permeable membrane.
What is Osmosis?
400
The main avenue of water absorption in most terrestrial plants.
What is the roots?
400
Data collected well in advance of actual critical review or analysis as it may relate to changes in Policy, Environment, or Ecological Integrity.
What is Baseline Data?
400
Regulation on internal water and salt concentrations.
What is Osmo-regulation?
400
Organisms taking in nutrients via active feeding, absorbing living or once living substance, etc can be termed this.
What is a Heterotroph?
400
Organisms whose body temperatures changes along with environmental temperature.
What is a poikilotherm?
500
The main mechanism in which most plants lose water.
What is transpiration? A combo of diffusion and evaporation.
500
The simplest measurement of the "spread" in a series of collected data.
What is Sample Range?
500
True or False: Many marine fishes are hypo-osmotic, with internal salt concentrations being greater than the surrounding environment.
What is FALSE.
500
The term used to describe the evolved strategy of a species of prey (some insects, some plants, and even some birds) taking on coloration to make itself look like a wasp or a bee to reduce the risk of being attacked and used for nutrition, for example.
What is co-mimicry
500
IN DESERT PLANTS: Short/ small leaves. Reflective surfaces, leaves and flowers high off of the ground....
What is the three primary mechanisms in which desert plants have evolved to regulate heat.
