What is it?
Ecological Organization
Biotic Factors
100
Defined as a living thing
What is an organism
100
Part of a habitat that is living, once living and interacts with an organism
What is biotic factor
100

The maximum amount that a ecosystem can hold?

Carrying Capacity

100

this is the term used to describe a specific type of organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce

What is species

100
This is the term used to described parts of a habitat that are living, once living and interact with an organism
What is biotic factor
200

The study organisms interacting with other organisms and nonliving factors

What is Ecology

200
Nonliving part of an organism's habitat
What is an Abiotic Factor
200

These are examples of 3 abiotic factors that you might find in your environment

What is (examples) air, water, sunlight, soil, rocks, temperature, wind, precipitation, gravel, sand, furniture, clothing, toys, TV, fridge, etc

200
True or False (if false explain why). A population is all the members of one species living in a particular area
What is True
200
True or False: Bacteria found in soil is an example of a biotic factor
What is True
300
An environment that provides the things a specific organism needs to live, grow and reproduce
What is a habitat
300

A geographic area that consist of many living and non living factors.

What is a ecosystem

300
True of False (if False explain why): Dead plants are abiotic facotrs
What is False. Dead plants are biotic factors because they were once alive
300

All of the different type of life in an area

Biodiversity

300
Plants are categorized as (explain why you choose your answer) a) decomposer b) producer c) consumer
What is "b" producer because they make their own food
400

This type of relationship is the essential to maintaining stability in ecology

What is prey vs predator

400

Sunlight, Soil, temperature, oxygen and water make up these types of factors

What are abiotic factors

400
True or False (if false explain why): A community is a group of abiotic and biotic factors in a certain area
What is False. A community is different species in a certain area
400
This is the smallest level of organization in an ecosystem
What is an organism
400
all animals take in this and exhale this when they breathe
What is oxygen, carbon dioxide
500
Organisms interact with these two things in an environment
What is abiotic and biotic factors
500
The major difference between a habitat and ecosystem
What is that habitat refers to one organism and ecosystems refer to many organisms
500

A factor that contributes to the carrying capacity that limits the number of organisms that can exist in a space

Limiting Factor

500
These are the four levels of organization in an ecosystem arranged from smallest to largest
What is organism, population, community, ecosystem
500
This process describes how plants make food, by taking in carbon dioxide, sunlight and water
What is photosynthesis
