Study of how organisms interact with others and their environment
What is ecology
100
These types of organisms, can also be called heterotrophs.
examples include, herbivores and omnivores
What are consumers
100
These cycles show how mater is recycled within and between ecosystems.
What are biogeochemical cycles
100
A range of physical and biological conditions in which a species lives and the way it gets what it needs to survive.
What is niche
100
ecosystems change over time, especially after disturbances
What is succession
200
any living part of the environment that an organism might interact with.
Also called a biological influence on an organism.
What is biotic factor
200
These are also an important part of an ecosystem. They feed by chemically breaking down organic matter.
They produce detritus, which are small pieces of dead and decaying remains.
What are decomposers
200
This cycle includes, condensation and transpiration.
What is the water cycle
200
the ability to survive and reproduce under a range of environmental conditions
What is tolerance
200
This type of succession occurs in areas that do not show any prior community.
It occurs slowly, pioneer species colonize the area
What is primary succession
300
Any nonliving part of the environment.
Also called the physical component of an environment.
What is an abiotic factor
300
These feed on the detritus that is created by decomposers.
They also feed on them.
What are detritivores
300
In this cycle, plants can take up carbon dioxide, and also release carbon dioxide through cellular respiration.
The burning of fossil fuels is also part of this cycle.
What is the carbon cycle
300
This is a relationship in which 2 species live closely together.
parasitism is an example of it.
What is symbiosis
300
This type of succession occurs faster, and occurs after a natural disaster.
What is secondary succession
400
these provide the energy for others within a food chain or web.
They can also be called autotrophs.
What are producers
400
Both of these show how producers and consumers feed in their environment.
What is a food chain and a food web.
400
The element in this cycle helps to make DNA and RNA.
What is the phosphorus cycle
400
This type of relationship, both species benefit.
give an example
What is mutualism
500
Producers can use these to make energy for themselves.
One is light energy, the other is chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis and chemosynthesis
500
These types of pyramids show how much energy or matter is within each trophic level.
What are ecological pyramids.
500
This cycle is important for converting Nitrogen gas into usable nitrites.
Name the 4 steps in order.
Your answer should name the cycle and the steps involved.
What is nitrogen cycle
1)nitrogen fixation
2)ammonification
3)nitrification
4)denitrification
500
In this type of relationship, one benefits, the other is neither harmed or helped.
