Relationships
In this type of symbiosis, one organism benefits while the other is harmed.
Parasitism
These are the three parts of the water cycle.
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation
A stable community or species that is not easily replaced.
Climax community
(POPSICLE)
This describes a species that no longer exists.
Extinct
This symbiotic relationship benefits both organisms involved.
Mutualism
(POPSICLE)
These organisms, such as fungi and bacteria, help recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Decomposers
When life appears in places where no life has existed before.
Primary succession
This describes a species whose numbers are declining
Threatened
(POPSICLE)
This relationship occurs when two species live closely together and at least one benefits.
Simbiosis
This process is how producers make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis
The first species to arrive to an area without life, usually lichen.
Pioneer species
This is the measure or land that is required to support your activities.
Ecological footprint
This term describes a community of living and non-living things that interact with each other in a specific environment.
Ecosystem
This term describes organisms that feed on the remains of dead animals.
Scavengers
When life appears again in destroyed or disturbed areas that previously had life.
Secondary succession
What caused a drop in peregrine falcon populations?
Pesticides causing eggs to thin and crack
These non-living factors, such as water, temperature, and sunlight, influence an ecosystem's environment.
Abiotic factors
This is the source of energy that all living things depend on.
The Sun
(POPSICLE)
When different species or organisms require the same space, food, or water.
Competition
