It is the sentific study of organisms and between organisms and their enviroment.
What is Ecology?
100
Breaks down organic matters, such as bacteria or fungi.
What is Decomposers?
100
Where the water changes from liquid to form an atmospheric gas.
What is Evaporation?
100
Physical or nonliving factors that shapes up the ecosystem.
What is Abotic Factors?
100
Different groups of species live in one area.
What is Communities?
200
Biosphere have combined parts of planet which all of life exists such as water, air, land, etc.
What is Biosphere?
200
Organisms that rely on other organisms for their energy or food supply.
What is Heterotrophs?
200
Together all of the chemical substances that an organism requires to live.
What is Nutrients?
200
On land the sucession that occurs on surfaces where there are no soil exists.
What is Primary Sucession?
200
Each step in a food web or food chain.
What is Trophic Level?
300
To understand the relationships winthin the Biosphere. Such as species, population, communties, ecosystem, and biome.
What is Levels of Organiztion?
300
Only plants, or some algae, and some bacteria can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals to produce foods.
What is Autotrophs?
300
When an ecosystem is limited by single nutrient that cycles very slowly.
What is Limiting Nutrients?
300
The first species to populate.
What is Pioneer Species?
400
Species, Populations, Communties, Ecosystem, Biome, and Biosphere.
Tell me the order of the Level of Organtization?
400
The feeding relationship among the different organisms in an ecosystem form network of complex interactions.
What is Food Web?
400
Like Bacteria that lives in soil or roots that convert nitrogen gas into ammonia.
What is Nitrogen Fixtation?
400
One member of the assocation that benefits and the other is neither helped or harmed.
What is Commenalism?
400
One organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it.
What is Parasitism?
500
Observing- It is often the first step in asking ecological questions. Or maybe take first step in designing expirements or models. Expirementing- They can be used to test the hypotheses. Also the scientist maybe will set up artificial enviroment in the lab. Modeling- Ecologists use models to study on the effects to the outer world. Also many of models have mathematical formulas based on data.
What is one Ecological Method and give one example
500
Energy Pyramid- Shows the relative amount of energy aviable at each trophic level. Uses only 10 percent of energy for each level. Biomass Pyramid- Represents amount of living organic matter at each trophic level. Pyramid of Numbers- Shows the relative number of indviual organisms at each trophic level.
Name one Ecological Pyramid and give one example.
500
Which is at rate which organic matter is created by producers.
What is Primary Productivity?
500
states that two species can occupy same niche in same habitat.
What is Competitve Exculsion Principle?
500
Other soil bacteria that convert ammonia into nitraites.
What is Dentrification?
