ECOLOGY
WHAT IS AN ECOLOGICAL NICHE?
DESCRIBES ROLE A SPECIES PLAYS IN ITS ENVIRONMENT.
DEFINE PHYSICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL ADAPTATION.
PHYSICAL OR BEHAVIOURAL CHARACTERISTIC THAT IMPROVES A SPECIES' CHANCE OF SURVIVAL
NAME 2 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL.
PLANTS HAVE A CELL WALL, LARGER VACUOLE, HAVE CHLOROPLAST THAT CONTAINS CHLOROPHYLL.
NAMES OF GAMETES
OVUM AND SPERMATOZOON
6 PHASE CHANGES
SUBLIMATION, DEPOSITION, FREEZING, MELTING, CONDENSATION, EVAPORATION
AMOUNT OF LIGHT, TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, RELIEF, WIND, SOIL TYPE, AMOUNT OF OXYGEN, SALINITY.
EXAMPLE OF PHYSICAL ADAPTATION REGARDING ANIMALS
BIRDS FEET, TEETH, FEATHERS, ETC.
POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
MITOCHONDRIA
WHERE DOES FERTILIZATION OCCUR
FALLOPIAN TUBES
WHAT HAPPENS TO LITMUS PAPER WHEN SUBSTANCE IS ACIDIC? BASIC? NEUTRAL?
ACIDIC= RED STAYS RED, BLUE TURNS RED
BASIC=RED TURNS BLUE, BLUE STAYS BLUE
NEUTRAL=BOTH STAY SAME COLOUR
NAME 4 CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ECOLOGICAL NICHE
HABITAT, RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS, SLEEPING PATTERNS, DIET.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEHAVIOURAL ADAPTATION
AND PHYSICAL ADAPTATION.
BEHAVIOURAL ADAPTATION IS HOW A LIVING ORGANISM ACTS.
PHYSICAL ADAPTATION IS HOW THEY LOOK.
FUNCTION OF CELL WALL
LIKE A DOOR, LETS IN OXYGEN AND WATER, LETS OUT WASTE.
DEFINE FERTILIZATION
UNION OF OVUM AND SPERMATOZOON
PH FOR ACIDS, BASES, AND NEUTRAL
ACIDS= 1-6.9
BASES=7.1-14
NEUTRAL=7.0
NAME 3 CRITERIA OF A SPECIES.
LOOK SIMILAR, CAN REPRODUCE TOGETHER, BIRTH TO FERTILE OFFSPRINGS
DEFINE MIMICRY
ONE SPECIES IMITATES ANOTHER. EXAMPLE: MONARCH BUTTERFLY AND VICEROY.
DEFINE DIFFUSION
MOVEMENT OF SOLUTE PARTICLES FROM HIGH CONCENTRATION TO LOW CONCENTRATION
NAME 5 HORMONAL CONTRACEPTIVES
EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE PILL, CONTINUOUS CONTRACEPTIVE PILL, CONTRACEPTIVE PILL, CONTRACEPTIVE PATCH, CONTRACEPTIVE INJECTION, CONTRACEPTIVE RING
DEFINE CHARACTERISTIC PROPERTIES
PROPERTY THAT HELPS US IDENTIFY A SUBSTANCE
DEFINE POPULATION IN ECOLOGY.
ALL INDIVIDUALS OF THE SAME SPECIES LIVING IN A GIVEN TERRITORY.
EXAMPLE OF AN ANIMAL THAT CAMOUFLAUGES
ARCTIC HARES, POLAR BEARS, CAMELEONS.
DIFFINE OSMOSIS
MOVEMENT OF SOLVENT (USUSALLY WATER) FROM AN AREA OF LOW CONCENTRATION TO HIGH CONCENTRATION
NAME 4 NON-HORMONAL CONTRACEPTIVES
MALE CONDOM, FEMALE CONDOM, IUD, SPERMICIDE, CERVICAL CAP AND DIAPHRAGMS
NAME 6 CHARACTERISTIC PROPERTIES
MELTING OR BOILING POINT, CONDENSATION OR FREEZING POINT, SOLUBILITY, PH, DENSITY, HARDNESS, ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
