The earth's average temperature is increased due to gases in the atmosphere that trap solar radiation.
What is Global Warming and the greenhouse effect?
100
Any resource that in short supply limits population growth.
What is limiting factor?
100
Polar opposites of each other, one eats meat and the other eats plants.
What is herbivores and carnivores?
100
All individuals of the same species in a specified area, and the collection of these groups of individuals. (two answer question)
What is community and population?
100
The name of all the relationships between organisms.
What is symbiotic relationships?
200
Two methods of developing a climax community, one starting with pioneers, and the other recovering from a disturbance.
What is primary and secondary succession?
200
A pattern of growth that increases by a fixed percentage in a given interval.
What is exponential growth?
200
This eats plants and animals.
What is omnivores?
200
The maxium number of the individuals in a population that a given environment can support.
What is carring capacity?
200
When individuals of the same or different species compete over resources.
What is competition?
300
An array of organisms and their environment interacting with each other through a flow of energy.
What is ecosystem?
300
They limit a populations growth by increasing death rates or decreasing birth rates, however one DEPENDS on density while the other does not.
What is denstiy independent and density dependent factors?
300
The position of an organism in a food chain or food web.
What is trpohic levels?
300
Array of species that has stabilized under prevailing habitat conditions.
What is climax community?
300
A symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties
What is mutualism?
400
All regions of the earth in which organims live.
What is biosphere?
400
Organisms whose populations are maintained near their carrying capacity.
What is k-selection?
400
Organisms in succession to represent the flow of energy and feeding relationships.
What is food chain?
400
The count of individuals of a population in a habitat.
What is population density?
400
When a parasitic species benefits off of feeding on the host but does not kill the host.
What is parasitism?
500
An oppurtunistic colonizer of barren or disturbed habitats. Optimized for rapid growth and dispersal.
What is pioneer species?
500
Species whose populations increase rapidly, often exponentially, quickly filling available environments.
What is r-selection?
500
Multiple food chains stuck together to show all the possible feeding relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.
What is food web?
500
Dispersal patterns for individuals of a population through a habitat.
What is population distribution?
500
Interactions between species in which one benefits and the other(s) are barely affected.
What is commensalism?
