Pollution
refers to increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns
What is climate change?
This describes change in a community over time, sometimes due to a disturbance?
What is succession?
A symbiotic relationship where one species gains fitness but doesn’t affect the species they depend on.
a series of organisms that feed on the organisms preceding it
What is a food chain?
individual with two copies of same allele. Example. HH, RR, EE
compounds that is potentially harmful to the environment released directly into the atmosphere either naturally or by humans
•Ex. Particulates, carbon dioxide, etc.
What are primary pollutants?
Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea
What are the 3 Domains?
an organisms role in the environment (job); range of resources that the species is able to use or range of conditions it can tolerate
What is a niche?
This trophic level is responsible for Carbon Fixation
What are primary producers?
observable physical characteristics based on the genotype such as, hair color, corn stalk height.
What is a phenotype?
Carbon can be found in the Environmental Phase (Gaseous) in the form of CO2.To remove it from the atmosphere, we need primary producers. Then, once carbon has been fixed, it can be passed from one organisms to the next through the food chain.
What is the carbon cycle?
An animal or plant species in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range
What is an Endangered Species?
An exotic organism (disease, parasite, plant, or animal) that begins to spread or expand its range from the site of original introduction and that has the potential to cause harm to the environment, the economy, or to human health
What is an invasive species?
What is a herbivore?
sum of all alleles at all gene loci in all individuals in a population
What is the gene pool?
Which treaty was passed to help the depleting ozone layer and banning certain pollutants, including CFCs.
What is the Montreal Protocol of 1987?
How individuals are ARRANGED per unit area
–Clumped
–Uniform
–Random
What is dispersion?
Interactions between members of different species competing for limited resource? Example, a bear and bees fight for honey.
What is interspecific competition?
How much energy is lost every time energy goes up a food chain to next consumer?
What is 10%?
one copy of each type of chromosome. Half of diploid
What is haploid?
This pollution can prevent one from seeing stars, disrupt birds/ insects migratory patterns, even baby turtles?
What is light pollution?
the branch of biology that names and classifies organisms
What is Taxonomy?
When species with similar niches use different aspects of the environment to reduce niche overlap and, therefore, interspecific competition. Ex. birds living in different parts of a tree
What is resource partitioning?
A symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit.
What is mutualism?
If R is red and r is white, what color will a flower with Rr have?
Red
