What is a symbiotic relationship?
A close relationship between one or more organisms.
100
There are two types of limiting factors- name them.
Density Dependent and Density Independent
100
What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors?
Biotic- Living or ONCE living Abiotic - non-living and never has been living
100

What is it called when a group of the same organisms living together in the same place at the same time?

Population 

100

Define Carrying capacity

The maximum population size of a species that a specific environment can sustainably support over time without degrading its natural resources.

Tapeworms are segmented flatworms that attach themselves to the insides of the intestines of animals such as cows, pigs, and humans. They get food by eating the host's partly digested food, depriving the host of nutrients. What type of symbiosis is being described?
Parasitism
200

What happens when a population nears carrying capacity?

Resources become limited 

200
Is a decaying carcass biotic or abiotic? Explain.
Biotic because it was once living.
200

Define Community 

A group of interacting populations of different species that coexist in the same geographic area at the same time

200

Give the equation for photosynthesis 

H2O+CO2+Light Energy-------->Gluecose+O2

300
Oxpeckers land on rhinos or zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on their skin. The oxpeckers get food and the zebra/rhino get pest control. Also, when there is danger, the oxpeckers fly upward and scream a warning. What type of symbiotic relationship is being described?
Mutualism
300
A new neighborhood was built around an existing pond. The owners of the neighborhood decided to add 30 new species to the pre-existing ecosystem. Identify 2 limiting factors that could affect the populations found in this ecosystem. Explain each.
Competition for food with new species Stress- due to lack of food and possibly space ETC.
300
An environment's biotic and abiotic factors interact to make a/an __________.
Ecosystem
300

The largest level of all biological organizations. Includes all life on Earth as well as all of the nonliving elements that affect it

Biosphere 

300

Daily DOUBLE!!!! How old is Mr. Black?

🤷‍♂️

400
A mother lion hunts against another mother lion for a deer to supply food for its cubs. What type of symbiotic relationship is being described?
None- this is an example of competition
400
A population of fish living in a pond about 30 feet deep are accustomed to 40 degrees water. A severe drought occurred over the summer and now there is only 10 feet of water. How could this limit this specific population of fish?
Due to more sunlight and warmth, the fish population would most likely die out because they would not be able to adapt to the conditions.
400
Identify one characteristic of all biotic factors.
Needs oxygen, reproduces, growth/development, etc.
400

How does an Ecosystem differ from a community?

The ecosystem includes the living things plus the nonliving, where as community is only referring to the different living species within the same area.

400

What gas makes up the majority of the air? How much does it make up?

Nitrogen, 78%

500
Imperial shrimp utilizes the sea cucumber for its locomotive purposes, hanging tight through waters filled with the shrimp's food source, only disembarking to have a bite, and then climbs aboard to further its travel to the next feeding ground. What type of symbiosis is being described? Explain
Commensalism - The shrimp gets a ride on the sea cucumber to find food while the sea cucumber is unaffected.
500
What is the true purpose of limiting factors?
To keep the ecosystem balanced/stabilized so that the ecosystem doesn't grow out of control.
500
List 7 abiotic factors
Water, temperature, soil, sunlight, wind, Oxygen, Rocks,
500

Name all 6 Levels of Organization from smallest to largest.

Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere

500

Would a lake or a pond have a larger carrying capacity? Explain

The lake would have the larger carrying capacity because it has more available resources.
