100
This biome has low precipitation paired with extreme temperature changes
What is the desert?
100
A single animal or plant
What is an organism?
100
An interaction where both organisms involved benefit
What is mutualism?
100
The ratio of births to the number of organisms in a population over a given time
What is birth rate?
100
This vital plant function occurs using Carbon Dioxide
What is photosynthesis?
200
This biome occurs where freshwater mixes with salt water (i.e. bays, mouths of rivers, etc.)
What is an estuary?
200
A name for anywhere organisms live on a planet
What is a biosphere?
200
This interaction occurs when one organism feeds off of or lives inside of another organism. One is harmed and one benefits
What is parasitism?
200
The movement of individuals out of a population or ecosystem
What is emigration?
200
A compound of this gas serves as a form of plant nutrition
What is nitrogen?
300
This biome has long, cold winters and short cool summers
What is a tundra?
300
A large amount of populations interacting with each other and other abiotic factors
What is a community?
300
This interaction occurs when one animal is killed and eaten by another. One is harmed and one benefits
What is Predation?
300
The amount of organisms an ecosystem can successfully support
What is carrying capacity?
300
This organism can change nitrogen in the atmosphere into nitrogen compounds in the ground
What is bacteria?
400
This series of biomes occur on the land
What is terrestrial biomes?
400
This diagram shows the amounts of relative energy located within each trophic level
What is an energy pyramid?
400
This occurs when two different species fight for resources
What is competition?
400
The movement of individuals into a population or ecosystem
What is immigration?
400
This process releases Carbon Dioxide and happens because of humans
What is the combustion of fossil fuels?
500
This biome is an area of standing water that supports the growth of aquatic plants
What is a wetland?
500
This trophic level contains animals that only eat producers
What are primary consumers
500
This occurs when one organism benefits and the other organism is not affected
What is commensalism?
500
The rate at which a population grows faster and faster
What is exponential growth?
500
This process stores Carbon Dioxide when an organism dies
What is decomposition?
