the two terms that describe all of the living parts of an ecosystem
biotic components and community
the two types of adaptations
structural and behavioral
Arteries. They have thick strong walls and start out large near the heart then get smaller as they move to different parts of the body
3 examples of abiotic factors
sun, rocks, air, water, etc
Behavioral adaptation in organisms where they are inactive for long periods of time
Term for animals and for plants

What do organisms compete for?
resources
It is wintertime. List two possible behavioral adaptations an animal may have and explain how these help the animal

What happens to your circulatory system when you eat too much fat
Your arteries can clog and cause a heart attack
the specific role an organism plays in its environment
niche
