What is Ecology?
It is the study of the interactions among organisms and their environment.

What is Taxonomy?
It is the study of classifying or organizing living things into categories based on common characteristics.
What is symbiosis?
It is any close relationship between different species.
Energy Pyramid (from the top to the bottom)

The biome we live in...
Temperate Deciduous Forest
The study of the early stages of life and development.
Embryology
What is the oldest Kingdom?
Archaebacteria
What is commensalism?
A relationship in which one species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
How much energy is passed on to the next level in this energy pyramid?
10%
You can find lakes, ponds, rivers, streams & wetlands in the biome. Which biome is it?
Fresh Water
Similar structure with different function due to common ancestry
Which Kingdom is my home?? I am prokaryotic, I am unicellular, I have cell walls. I can be both autotroph or heterotroph. I can be both helpful and harmful to you.
Kingdom Eubacteria
What is Parasitism? How is the Parasite and the Host affected?
Involves one organism living on or inside another organism and harming it. (+/-)
Parasite - the organism that benefits
Host - the organism that is harmed
Which level has the least amount of energy in the pyramid?
Apex Preditor
Lots of sunlight penetrates the shallow water, allowing producers such as marsh grass & algae to thrive in this biome. Which biome?
Estuary
More closely related species have more identical DNA sequences and amino acids compared to less related species. What is this called?
Genetic Evidence of Evolution
Desciber the type of cell/cell structures of the Protista Kingdom. (Mostly Uni or Multicellular, Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic, yes or no cell wall)
Eukaryotic
Mostly Unicellular
Some have cell wall
Others do not have cell wall
What is mutualism?
A relationship in which both species benefit from the relationship. (+/+)
What is the main source of the Energy Pyramid?
The Sun
Little Rain. Lots of grass. (ex of animals: Lions, Zebras, Elephants, Giraffe, Wildebeest and etc..)
Savanna
