Ecosystems
Pollution is one example of an affecting factor for this water ecosystem.
What is an aquatic ecosystem?
An organism's role or job in a ecosystem or enviorment.
What is an organism's niche?
These are the different levels of the trophic pyramid.
What are Producers, Primary Consumers, Secondary Consumers, Tertiary Consumers, and Quaternary Consumers?
A part of evolution where humans decide the evolution of the species? An example would be different types of dog breeds.
What is Artificial Selection?
A pride of lions is feeding on a group of zebras. However, another pride of lions moves in and starts killing the zebras as well. Pride #1 is running low on food and some of its members are dying from a food shortage. This is an example of a limiting factor called...
What is competition, food availability, or predation?
This dry and hot ecosystem receives no more than 10 inches of precipitation each year.
What is the desert ecosystem?
These factors, to consider, are what separate populations and communities and what make them different?
What is... A population is a group of the same species and a community is a group of different species.
This is an energy source that starts and provides recourses to any food chain.
What is sunlight?
A slow change in an ecosystem's structure over time.
What is sucession?
This limiting factor causes other small parasitic organisms to harm the organism's living in an ecosystem. It also causes organisms to get sick.
What are parasites and diseases?
Water and temperature are the most affecting factors in this temperate land ecosystem.
What is a terrestrial ecosystem?
One organism is negatively affected and one is benefited. Tapeworms would be an example.
What is parasitism?
This is the process that removes carbon from the air.
What is Aerobic Respiration?
This is an example of what kind of succession? Pioneer plants will die off due to overcrowding of complexed plants.
What is primary succession?
Predation, Disease, and Invasive Species are all biotic limiting factors depending on a certain type of species. Changes in water, global warming, and soil are.... what?
What are Abiotic Limiting Factors?
Biotic or abiotic? Investigating how the amount of precipitation affects trees in a rainforest.
What are abiotic factors?
In this symbiosis relationship, one organism is unaffected (not affected) and one is benefited.
What is Commensalism?
These are the main substances in the oxygen cycle.
What are the Atmosphere, Biosphere, and The Earth's Layers?
What is comparative anatomy?
A new species of rabbit just moved in! The carrying capacity of the grey wolf spikes and the numbers go over the carrying capacity. What limiting factor is this?
What is food availability or predation?
In this ecosystem, the climate is cold and windy. Rainfall is scant. The average winter temperature is -30 F and the average summer temperature is 37-54 F. The yearly precipitation is 6 to 10 inches.
What is the tundra?
Food availability and predators can affect an organism's what?
What is an organism's niche?
This process prevents water from returning back to a main point in the water cycle.
What is interception?
Comparative Anatomy is one mentioned way of a theory of evolution to infer which organisms were closely related. This somewhat similar method is by looking at an organism's early developmental stages and comparing them with others.
What is comparative embryology?
This is why it is not common for autotrophs to be affected by limiting factors other than heterotrophs which can be affected by limiting factors.
What is... autotrophs provide their own food. Heterotrophs eat other food so once the food availability disappears, the heterotroph population dies off.
