2.1
A group of organisms that share common characteristics and that are able to reproduce and produce fertile offspring
What is a species?
Organisms at the bottom of the food web. These are plants or algae. Use photosynthesis
What are producers?
1 of the 3 cells that are near the Earth's poles. Circulate cold air
Polar Cells
non-living physical factors in an ecosystem that influence an organism. Examples include Temperature, light, ph.
What is Abiotic
Species that are crucial to the maintenance of their ecosystem
Keystone Species
a liner sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another
What is a food chain?
a dry area on the leeward side of a mountainous area
What is Rain Shadow
What is Biotic
Biosphere
a relationship between two species in which one species lives in or on another gaining food from it. Example: Deer Tick
Parasitism
The amount of suns energy reaching the surface
Insolation
Two organisms that benefit from each other. Examples include Bees and Flowers, Clownfish and anemone
What is Mutualism
a group of different populations that live in the same area
What is a community
Build up of non-biodegradable pollutants within an organism
What is bioaccumulation
1 of the 3 cells of the Tri-Cellular Model that circulates air with moderate temperature
Ferrell Cell
have a small number of offspring but invest large amounts of energy in parental care. Examples include humans and large mammals
A community of interdependent organisms and interactions with the physical environment in which they live
What is an ecosystem
The increase in concentration of non-biodegradable pollutants along a food chain
What is biomagnification
1 of the 3 cells of the Tri-Cellular model that is near the equator and circulates precipitation and temperature
Hadley
What is carrying capacity
