100

The component within bacterial cell walls that separates them from archaea.

Peptidoglycan

100

The group of bacteria that stain deep purple on gram stain testing which signifies a higher amount of peptidoglycan.

Gram Positive

100

The branch of ecology that would take into account interactions between colonies of chimpanzees.

Population Ecology

100

The type of interaction seen through the interaction of a honey bee and sunflower in which the bee gains nectar and the sunflowers are pollinated.

Mutualism

100

The means by which energy enters ecosystems.

Solar Radiation

200

The type of ecological implication:

S. aureus is a microbe that lives on your skin. It naturally consumes dead skin that is detaching from your dermis.

Commensalism

200

The group of archeans that have specifically adapted for survival in extreme saline environments.

Halophiles

200

The biome characterized by a breeding ground for many oceanic fish as they swim up to covered areas which involve a transition area between sea and river.

Estuary

200

The type of climate studied by looking at the community within the inside of a hollow log.

Microclimate

200

A human action that can lead to a species' extinction vortex

Overharvesting, Introduced Species, Habitat Destruction, Global Changes

300

The category of bacteria that stain pink in gram-staining which contain less concentrated cell wall components.

Gram Negative

300

The trophic level of an anteater if it consumes an ant which consumed products from a plant.

Secondary Consumer

300

A limiting factor for the sardine population as density rises.

Predation, Competition, Disease

300

The trophic level assigned to an coyote in the following food chain:

Grass --> Grasshopper --> Squirrel --> Coyote

Tertiary Consumer

300

The population with the most biomass in the following food chain:

Grasshopper --> Squirrel --> Owl

Grasshopper

400

The component within a prokaryotic cell that allows them to perform taxis

Flagellum

400

The group of gram negative bacteria which involves heterotrophic helical shaped bacteria and includes bacteria like T. pallidum which is responsible for Lyme's Disease

Spirochetes

400

The population selection done by manatees where gestation lasts 13 months and cows often only have one calf.

K-selection

400

An example of a keystone species of our temperate broadleaf forest.

Oak tree, hickory tree, coyote, owl, etc.

400

The location at which nature reserves are ideally established

Biodiversity Hotspot

500

The metabolic classification of the prokaryote below:

Energy Source = Light

Carbon Source = Organic Macromolecules like carbohydrates and lipids.

Photoheterotroph

500
The gram negative group of bacteria which would exhibit a bacteria species like Salmonella which is a rod-shaped bacteria that is a chemoheterotroph and is not an intracellular parasite.

Proteobacteria

500
The suspected population change in a given 6 months for northern shortfin squid if the population is currently at 800 individuals and 600 squid are born, but 650 die and the carrying capacity is 2000.

~29 less

500

The diversity index for a community if:

White Breasted Nuthatch: 23

American Robin: 18

Tufted Titmouse: 21

~0.663

500

The main reservoir of nitrogen where nitrogen fixing bacteria obtain it.
