Ecology
Where do abiotic factors start
Ecosystem
Cell
The building blocks of life
the main reason Carbon is important
All life is based of carbon
Immigration causes...
Growth in an ecosystem
How many characteristic of life are there
Eight
Ecology
The study of interactions between organisms and their environment.
Birth rate
The amount of organisms born in a period of time
Main reason Oxygen is important
Oxygen is required to make energy
All populations on Earth do this
Grow or shrink
What is the Universal Genetic Code
DNA
The first half of the Ecology list
Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism
Limiting Nutrient
A single nutrient that limits the growth of a population
All amino acids are made of Hydrogen
When given enough nutrients a population enters
Exponential Growth
What is Homeostasis
An organisms ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions
The second half of the Ecology list
Community, Ecosystem, Biomes, Biosphere
Growth rate
The rate at which a population is increasing or decreasing
DNA is made of Phosporus
Common limiting nutrients
Does an organism need to have all eight characteristic of life
yes
What is the entire list of Ecology
Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, Organism, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere
Niche
An organisms "job" within an ecosystem
Oxygen, Carbon, Phosphorus, Nitrogen
Which would cause more damage to an ecosystem: a quick or slow change
quick
List all characteristics of life
Made up of cells, Universal Genetic Code (DNA), (require) matter and energy, grow and develop, reproduce, homeostasis, change over time (evolve), respond to environment
