Levels of Organization
This level of organization includes all the members of one species living in the same area.
Population.
This term describes the largest number of individuals an ecosystem can support.
Carrying capacity
A relationship in which members of the same species work together is this kind of relationship.
cooperative
What are the three types of succession?
Primary, secondary, and aquatic
TRUE OR FALSE: Water is a living thing.
FALSE
This level includes all the different populations living together in one area.
Community
This happens to a population when limiting factors become stronger.
The population decreases or stops growing
A relationship where one organism hunts and eats another is this kind of relationship.
Example: an eagle and a snake
predator-prey
What does secondary succession start with?
A damaged or destroyed ecosystem, soil.
Aquatic succession begins with this.
body of water
This includes living and nonliving things in an area.
ecosystem
Food supply, shelter, and the existence of predators are all examples of this.
Limiting factors
Two organisms that need the same resources at the same time have this kind of relationship.
EX: a lion and a hyena both need the meat from a dead animal
competitive
Primary and secondary succession continue until it reaches a _______ _______.
Climax community
This type of relationship is characterized by two organisms who benefit from a relationship.
mutualism
The key difference between a population and a community.
A population consists of only one species, a community includes different species.
Disease is an example of this kind of limiting factor.
(biotic/abiotic)
biotic
A tick on a dog is an example of this type of relationship.
parasitism
What type of succession can begin with a volcano (no soil)?
primary succession
(biotic/abiotic)
Abiotic
The key difference between an ecosystem and a community.
Community is all living things, ecosystem is all living and non-living things
The disappearance of a competing species has this impact on the carrying capacity of a species.
(increases/decreases/remains the same)
increases
This type of relationship is characterized by one organism that benefits :) and one that remains neutral :|.
commensalism
Eutrophication increases the rate of this type of succession.
aquatic succession
A new species moves into an ecosystem and uses the same resources as another species. This kind of relationship forms.
Competitive
