100
This is the lowest trophic level on a food chain.
What is producer?
100
This is a group of individuals from one species in an area.
What is population?
100
This type of species is at immediate risk of extinction.
What is endangered?
100
This is the name of a graph of exponential growth.
What is J curve?
100
Short lifespan is an example of this type of strategist
What is R Strategist?
200
This is the percentage of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10%
200
This is a group of different species in one area.
What is community?
200
A highway is built, dividing a forest into two halves. This could cause this type of isolation.
What is geographic isolation?
200
This is the name of a graph that shows logistic growth.
What is an S curve?
200
Long parental care is an example of this type of strategist
What is K Strategist?
300
This is the type of energy that is transferred across trophic levels.
What is chemical energy?
300
A tick consuming the blood of a moose is an example of this type of symbiotic relationship.
What is parasitism?
300
One rodent is active during the day, while the other is only active at night. They could experience this type of isolation.
What is temporal isolation?
300
This is the type of limiting factor that will have an increased effect as population size increases.
What is density-dependent limiting factor?
300
This population pyramid shows __________ growth:
What is stable growth?
(Natality = Mortality)
400
This is the main type of energy that is lost from a food web.
What is heat energy?
400
This is the habitat and the niche of an owl.
Habitat - forest
Niche - apex predator, carnivore
400
Provide the term for this definition:
If the gene pool of two populations are separated and cannot be shared through reproduction, the populations may develop into a new species.
What is speciation?
400
This type of limiting factor has the same effect on a population regardless of how large the population is.
What is density-independent factor?
400
This is what "K" represents on the following graph:
What is carrying capacity?
500
This is an interconnection of food chains, showing how different trophic levels interact.
What is a food web?
500
This is the difference between fundamental and realized niche.
Fundamental niche - all of the possible roles an organism could play/conditions it could tolerate
Realized niche - the actual, more limited role an organism plays in an ecosystem when it is competing with another species
500
This is the term describing the ability of two organisms to reproduce.
What is fecundity?
500
This is the term to describe the actual number of offspring an organism produces.
What is fertility?

The orange line represents this survivorship curve.
