Lesson 1: Introduction to Ecology
Lesson 2: Roles in Energy Transfer
Lesson 3: Population Dynamics
Lesson 4: Interactions in Communities
100
Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their enviroment
What is False
100
A lizard eats mostly meat.
What is false
100
Animals don't compete for water access.
What is False
100
A lion is a predator on the food chain.
What is true
200
Large regions characterized by climate and communities of species grouped together.
What is biomes
200
A consumer that eats only plants.
What is a herbivore
200
The maximum number of individuals of one species that the enviroment can support.
What is carrying capacity
200
The symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits while the other in unaffected.
What is commensalism
300
The role the population plays in the ecosystem, such as how it gets food and interacts with other populations
What is niche
300
A consumer that eats both plants and animals
What is a omnivore
300
A part of the environment that keeps a populations size below its full potential.
What is limiting factor
300
A close long-term relationship between different species in Community.
What is symbiosis
400
What factors determine where a population can live?
-It needed resources (food, water, shelters) -Climate/habitat -protection from predators
400
What are the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem?
Producers: make food Consumers: eat food Decomposers: eat the dead matter
400
How do limiting factors keep effect the carrying capacity of an environment?
They keep the environments rom matching its maximum limit of different spieces.
400
What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of the prey population?
The larger size of the prey population means the more that the predator can consume.
500
How do the populations in a community depend on each other?
They depend on each other for food sources, shelters, and climate change possibly.
500
Identify the 2 global food webs and describe how they are connected?
The 2 global food webs are land food web and a water food web. They are connected because many organisms have land and water bases feeding relationships.
500
How does the populations size relate to resource a availability in an environment?
The smaller the population the longer the resources last and vice aversa.
500
Think of a resource and predict what happens to the resource when competition increases?
The resource slowly begins to not be found any more.
