Primary v. Secondary
Which takes longer
What is Primary Succession
This is the first species to colonize an area after a disturbance
What is a pioneer species?
This is the means made of only one cell
What is unicellular
Predators, animal relationships, are examples of
What is biotic factors
Having more of this will make your biome more sustainable
What is biodiversity?
Forest Fire - primary or secondary?
What is Secondary
At this stage, the ecosystem is in a balanced state.
What is a climax community?
What is a primary consumer?
An organism that eats producers
Amount of sunlight received by the organisms
This ecosystem is unsustainable: Explain why???
a) grass, berries, deer, rabbits, wolves, foxes
b) trees, songbirds, hawks, squirrels
c) cats, dogs, fish
What is ecosystem C?
Because it doesn't have enough variety of organisms
The Variety of living things in an area
What is biodiversity?
Name two parts of the cell theory
All living organisms are made of cells
Cells are the smallest part of a living thing
All cells come from preexisting cells
Water, such as rivers, streams, or lakes
What is abiotic
This type of reproduction helps with increasing biodiversity
What is sexual reproduction
This form of succession starts with pioneer species such as moss, lichens, and fungi
What is primary?
What types of pioneer species come during secondary succession
What are small shrubs, and grasses
This is where two plates slide past one another horizontally
What is a transform boundary
Plants, such as moss, grass, and trees
What is biotic
This is how biodiversity helps ensure a healthy ecosystem.
Increased biodiversity increases sustainability
Enough organisms to take over the roles of organisms that have died.
Which one comes from an ecosystem that has supported life before?
What is Secondary Succession
This is the process by which the species structure of an ecological community changes over time.
What is ecological succession?
This boundary can form A Great Rift Valley
What is a divergent boundary
Bacteria and other unicellular organisms
What is biotic?
Habitat destruction causes what type of impact on the population of the species that lives there
What is decreases the population?
