What is conservation in Biology?
Conservation is the protection and careful use of natural resources, like animals, plants, and habitats.
What is biodiversity?
The variety of living things in an area.
What is a limiting factor?
Anything that controls the growth, size, or survival of a population.
What are two ways humans harm the environment?
Ex. deforestation, hunting, habitat loss
What is migration in Biology?
What are some ways conservation helps protect wildlife?
Conservation helps by creating national parks, protecting habitats, stopping hunting, and saving species.
Why is biodiversity important?
It keeps ecosystems balanced and healthy.
What are examples of abiotic (non-living) limiting factors?
Sunlight, water, temperature, soil, and space.
What is a human Impact in Biology?
The effect humans have on the environment and living things.
Why do animals migrate?
To find food, better weather, or safe places to breed.
Why do we need clean water for conservation?
Clean water is necessary for animals, plants, and people to survive.
What would most likely happen if biodiversity was to decrease?
Ecosystems become weaker and may collapse.
What are examples of biotic (living) limiting factors?
Food, predators, disease, and competition.
What is deforestation?
Cutting down forests, which destroys habitats and reduces oxygen.
What is a seasonal migration?
When animals move during certain seasons, like winter or summer.
How do national parks help conservation?
They protect animals, plants, and habitats from being destroyed.
How does biodiversity help humans?
It provides food, medicine, clean air, and water
How does lack of food act as a limiting factor?
If food runs out, populations can't grow.
How do cars and factories affect the environment?
They release gases that cause air pollution and climate change.
What is the difference between immigration and emigration?
Immigration is moving into an area; emigration is leaving an area.
What can individuals do to help with conservation?
People can recycle, save water, plant trees, and reduce pollution.
How do humans reduce biodiversity?
By deforestation, pollution, overhunting, and climate change.
How can predators be a limiting factor?
Predators keep prey populations from getting too large.
What happens to animals when humans destroy habitats?
Why is migration important for survival?
It helps animals find food, escape harsh conditions, and reproduce.
