Levels of Ecology
One organism
What is an individual?
Smallest functional unit of life.
What is the cell?
This type of cell lacks a nucleus.
What is a prokaryorte?
Touching a hot stove and immediately pulling your hand away.
What is an example of a negative response to stimuli?
The study of animals.
What is zoology?
Earth
What is a Biosphere?
The smallest unit that can still be considered whole.
What is the atom?
This type of cell has a true nucleus.
What is an Eukaryote?
What is asexual reproduction?
A cell without a true nucleus.
Examples of this include grasslands, tundras, deserts, and rain forests.
What are biomes?
This level includes things like groups of oxygen, sodium, carbon, and/or hydrogen.
What are compounds/molecules?
Prokaryotic cell domains.
What are the Archaea and Bacteria domains?
The ability of an organism to maintain its internal conditions despite external stresses.
What is homeostasis?
A cell that has a nuclear membrane and other membrane-bound organelles.
What is an eukaryote?
All living things that exist in a specific area.
What is a community?
Groups of the same or similar molecules or compounds that carry out a specific funciton.
What are the organelles?
Cells with a cell wall.
What are fungus, plant, some protists, and all prokaryotes?
An example of this would be how an organism has set levels organization within its cells, from individual cell to organ system.
What is order?
The study of living things.
What is biology?
This level includes biotic and abiotic factors in a given area.
What is an ecosystem?
Groups of organs that work together for the organism as a whole.
What is the organ system?
These cells are similar to Animal cells.
This characteristic is the explanation for why living things get larger and more mature over time.
What is growth and development?
The study of how living things interact with the abiotic factors around them.
