Trivia
The scientists that study ecology
Ecologist
Community of organisms and the abiotic factors in an area.
ecosystem
True or false?
A species’ habitat consists of both biotic and abiotic factors.
true.
Identify the type of association
An alpheid shrimp digs and maintains a deep burrow. A goby fish lives in the burrow with the shrimp. The goby fish sits at the entrance, keeping watch for predators, and signals the shrimp with a flick of its tail when it is safe to come out. Or, if a predator swims by, the goby darts into the burrow and the shrimp retreats further inside. These two animals are completely dependent on each other—the goby benefits by getting a burrow to live in and the shrimp knows when predators are near.
Mutualism.
These two animals are completely dependent on each other—the goby benefits by getting a burrow to live in and the shrimp knows when predators are near.
The type of competition in which organisms use aggression
Interference competition.
True or false
Environmental science is a branch of ecology.
false
The highest level of ecological organization.
Biosphere.
Anything an organism needs for its survival,including nutrition,shelter,mates,breeding site.
Resources
The type of association in which an organism kills another organism.
predation.
Identify the type of interaction..
A tapeworm needs to eat food that is already digested, so it lives in the intestines of a dogfish shark. As a result of the tapeworm infestation, the shark is weakened and more vulnerable to disease and predation.
Parasitism.
The study of how organisms interact with each other and their environment
Ecology
Individual organisms of genetic similarity
species
Would all the different kinds of organisms in a pond be considered a population or community?
community.
A relationship in which two species live in close association is called..
Symbiosis..
Imperial shrimp attach themselves to sea cucumbers and get transported by their host to a large area of p food with only a minimal expenditure of energy. They have been observed getting off their host cucumber to feed in productive areas and then getting back on for a ride to the next spot.
Commensalism
Imperial shrimp is benefitted,cucumber is neither benefitted or harmed.
