Ecology
This term refers to the nonliving parts of an environment.
What is abiotic?
This trophic level is usually at the bottom of an ecological pyramid.
What is a primary producer?
This 3 word phrase is our most basic definition of evolution.
What is "change over time"?
This is the byproduct, or waste product, of cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide?
This is the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This level of organization includes several populations of different species living in a defined area.
What is a community?
Autotrophs get their food by harnessing energy from this.
What is the sun?
This British naturalist coined the phrase "natural selection."
Who is Charles Darwin?
This series of chemical reactions creates glucose out of chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
These are the three types of symbiotic relationships.
What are parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism?
This type of consumer can eat both plants and animals.
This term refers to the maximum number of individuals an environment can realistically support.
What is carrying capacity?
This mechanism of evolution happens when one version of a trait is more advantageous than another version in a given environment.
What is natural selection?
This is the process that models how carbon moves through an ecosystem.
What is the carbon cycle?
This messy diagram is a way to model which organisms are eaten by other organisms in a given ecosystem, often organized by trophic level.
What is a food web?
This type of ecological pyramid models the total amount of living tissue in a given ecosystem.
What is a biomass pyramid?
In an ecological relationship, if one individual is harmed while the other is benefitted, it is known as this term.
What is parasitism?
When a natural disaster or random event changes the allele frequency of a population, this category of evolution has happened.
What is genetic drift?
Write the formula for cellular respiration.
O2 + C6H12O6 = ATP + H2O + CO2
These are the ECOLOGICAL levels of organization in order from smallest to largest.
What are: individual, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere?
TRUE OR FALSE: Primary producers are always plants.
Draw an ecological pyramid with the four trophic levels in order.
Primary producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer.
A change in THIS, the percentage of the population showing different versions of traits, means evolution has happened.
What is the allele frequency?
Write the formula for photosynthesis.
sunlight + H2O + CO2 = O2 + C6H12O6
These are the levels of organization IN AN ORGANISM from smallest to largest.
What are: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems?
