Words To Make You Think
The sum total of all the adaptations an organism uses to survive in its environment; this includes its role in the community, what it eats, and what interactions it has with other organisms and with its environment.
Niche
When a population neither grows or losses members we call this
ZPG or Zero Population Growth
In an energy pyramid if there is 100 units of energy in producers how many units of energy will primary consumers get?
10 units
When an organism lives off of another without killing it we call it
Parasitism
Herbivores only eat
Plants
An algae and a fungus that live in symbiosis, forming a distinctive structure, or thallus, that may be low and crusty, leafy, or bushy; lichens are pioneers on rock or other surfaces.
Lichen
When there is not enough food in an environment to support more for a population to grow the population has hit the
Carrying capacity
In an energy pyramid if there is 1000 units of energy in producers how many units of energy will tertiary consumers get?
1
When two organisms fight for the same resources we call it
Competition
Carnivores only eat
Meat
Place where an organism lives; even in the same ecosystem, different organisms differ in their habitats.
Habitat
When something causes a population to decline or level out we call it a
Limiting Factor
In an energy pyramid if there is 10 units of energy in a secondary consumer how many units of energy will tertiary consumers get?
1
When one organism eats another we call it
Predator-Prey Relation
Omnivores eat
Both plants and meat
a plant-eating consumer; one of the class of consumers most closely associated with producers
Herbivores
Population amount is a combination of what two factors
Birthrate and Deathrate
How many units of energy would a secondary consumer have to have for a tertiary consumer to get 10 units
100
When an organism eats left overs from another organisms prey it is called
A scavenger
Darwin's finches beaks changed to occupy different
Niches
A consumer organism that feeds on the dead carcasses of other consumer organisms it did not kill
Scavengers
All living things are ideally trying to get back to this state of no change
Homeostasis
How many units of energy would a producer have to have for a tertiary consumer to get 100 units
100000
Interactions between 2 organisms is called
Symbiosis
These organism have the largest food niches
Omnivores
