Biomes
100
This level includes all the living and nonliving things interacting in an area.
What is an ecosystem?
100
This type of growth occurs when resources are unlimited, producing a J-shaped curve.
What is exponential growth?
100
Organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis.
What are producers?
100
Living components of an ecosystem are called this.
What are biotic factors?
100
This biome is characterized by very low rainfall and extreme temperatures.
What is a desert?
200
A group of organisms of the same species living in one area.
What is a population?
200
This type of growth slows as resources become limited and forms an S-shaped curve.
What is logistic growth?
200
A linear sequence showing how energy flows from one organism to another.
What is a food chain?
200
Temperature, sunlight, and water are examples of these.
What are abiotic factors?
200
This biome has cold temperatures, permafrost, and short growing seasons.
What is the tundra?
300
Multiple populations of different species living together form this level.
What is a community?
300
This type of symbiosis benefits one organism while harming the other.
What is parasitism?
300
Organisms that eat producers are called this.
What are primary consumers?
300
A cactus in the desert is an example of this type of factor.
What is a biotic factor?
300
The biome with the greatest biodiversity, found near the equator.
What is the tropical rainforest?
400
The level of organization defined by climate, vegetation, and wildlife.
What is a biome?
400
When two species compete for the same limited resource, this interaction occurs.
What is competition?
400
This diagram shows multiple interconnected feeding relationships.
What is a food web?
400
This nonliving factor can limit plant growth in a forest.
What is sunlight? (accept water, soil nutrients)
400
This biome is dominated by grasses and experiences seasonal rainfall.
What is a grassland? (savanna accepted)
500
This is the smallest level of organization that can carry out all life processes.
What is a cell?
500
This interaction involves one organism hunting and killing another for food.
What is predation?
500
Only about this percentage of energy transfers to the next trophic level.
What is 10%?
500
The interaction between living and nonliving components helps define this.
What is an ecosystem?
500
This biome has four seasons and trees that lose their leaves in the fall.
What is the temperate deciduous forest?
