What is Community?
an organism that cannot produce its own food and must eat other plants and/or animals to get energy
What is Consumer?
any of several living arrangements between members of two different species
What is symbiosis?
all of the food chains in an ecosystem
an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals.
What is autotroph?
Any living organism that shapes its environment.
organisms that hunt and kill other organisms for food
What is Consumer?
everything that exists in a particular environment
What is Ecosystem?
association between organisms of two different species in which each benefits
What is Mutualism?
any force that affects the size of a population of living things in response to the density of the population such as adequate food, water, and mates
What is Density Dependent Factor?
a group of animals or plants that are similar and can produce young animals or plants : a group of related animals or plants that is smaller than a genus
What is Species?
a group of people or animals of a particular kind that live in a place
What is Population?
a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species obtains food or other benefits from the other without either harming or benefiting the latter.
What is communalism?
a depiction of energy flow within an ecosystem comprised of organisms that live on land.
What is terrestrial food chain?
an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients.
What is heterotroph?
Organisms that make their own food.
What is Producer
Animals that are killed and eaten by other animals.
What is prey?
to the rivalry between or among living things for territory, resources, goods, mates
What is competition?
the place or type of place where a plant or animal naturally or normally lives or grows
What is Habitat?
The series of processes by which nitrogen and its compounds are interconverted in the environment and in living organisms, including nitrogen fixation and decomposition.
What is Nitrogen cycle?
an organism whose ecological function involves the recycling of nutrients by performing the natural process of decomposition as it feeds on decaying organisms
What is Decomposer?
a nonliving condition or thing, as climate or habitat, that influences or affects an ecosystem
What is Abiotic factors?
also called limiting factor in ecology, any force that affects the size of a population of living things regardless of the density of the population such as weather, climate, flooding
What is Density Independent Factors?
A water based food chain that includes algae or phytoplankton as producers, followed by zooplankton that eats them. Giant fish, sharks, and whales consume zooplankton, which is eaten by small fish and crustaceans
What is an aquatic food chain?
the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.
What is carbon cycle?
a relationship between the two living species in which one organism is benefitted at the expense of the other
What is parasitism?
the ecological process in which an animal (or an organism) kills and feeds on another animal (or an organism)
What is Predation?
anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing
What is Limiting Factor?
the concentration of individuals within a species in a specific geographic locale.
What is Population Density?
a graphical representation of the energy found within the trophic levels of an ecosystem.
What is energy pyramid?
