100
This display of energy transfer is drawn in a straight line.
What is a food chain?
100
This biome is water based and needs clear water and sunlight.
What is coral reef?
100
Even and random are two types of population dispersion. This third one happens when resources are limited and more isolated.
What is clumped?
100
This type of interaction occurs when one organism benefits and the other is neither hurt nor benefits.
What is commensalism?
100
To move out of an area to a new place.
What is emigrate?
200
This display of energy transfer shows the flow of energy from highest energy stored to least energy stored.
What is a food chain?
200
Approximately this much rain falls in a taiga each year.
What is about 30 inches?
200
The number of individuals per unit of space is this characteristic of a population.
What is population density?
200
This type of interaction would occur at a watering hole--think the Battle at Krueger...
What is predator/prey?
200
An arrangement of persons or things in a graded series, as by rank or ability.
What is hierarchy?
300
This displays multiple interactions between multiple organisms all at the same time.
What is a food web?
300
This biome is characterized by hot summers, cold winters, and open areas of flowers and grass.
What is temperate grassland?
300
Humans have this type of survivorship curve.
What is Type 1?
300
An example of this type of interaction would be when cleaner fish eat parasites off of a larger fish.
What is mutualism?
300
Something that restricts, or confinement.
What is constraint?
400
This display of energy shows energy flow through an ecosystem.
What is both food chain and food web?
400
Name three types of wetlands.
What are bogs, fens, swamps, marshes?
400
In this type of survivorship curve, the number of surviving individuals drops off at a younger age and the number that survive to an older age is very small.
What is Type 3?
400
Garlic mustard and Asian carp are an example of this type of species.
What is invasive species?
400
The act of concluding from evidence or premises.
What is inference?
500
This display of energy flow shows interactions among organisms in an ecosystem.
What is both food web and food chain?
500
The temperature range for this biome is 27-32 degrees Celsius.
What is rainforest?
500
This type of survivorship curve has a steady decline in individuals as age increases.
What is Type 2?
500
A mushroom that gets nutrients from a tree, but the tree remains unharmed is an example of this type of relationship.
What is commensalism?
500
The science of the relationships between organisms and their environments.
What is ecology?
