Taxonomy
This is the third level of taxonomic organization starting from the largest group.
What is phylum?
This characteristic of life stipulates that organisms are composed of at least one these smallest living units of life.
What are cells?
This level of ecological organization includes all the members of a species.
What is population?
This relationship between organisms results in one organism killing another organism.
What is predation?
This biogeochemical cycle is driven by the sun.
What is the water cycle?
This kingdom's organisms are all autotrophs.
What is Plants/Plantae?
This characteristic of life asserts that all organisms contain this material which serves as their instructions for making proteins.
What is DNA/RNA or genetic material?
This level of ecological organization is defined as the zone of life on earth.
What is biosphere?
This relationship between organisms occurs when two members of the same species compete for resources.
What is intraspecific competition?
This biogeochemical cycle requires living organisms at each and every step.
What is the nitrogen cycle?
Although this Domain's organisms are prokaryotes, they have ribosomes similar to eukaryotes.
Who is Archaea (Archaebacteria)?
This characteristic of life can be categorized as either asexual or sexual.
What is reproduction or being capable of reproduction?
This level of ecological organization includes all the living organisms of any species in an area.
This type of symbiosis results in one organism benefiting while the other organism neither benefits nor is harmed.
What is commensalism?
This biogeochemical cycle returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through a process called combustion.
What is the carbon cycle?
The koala, whose scientific name is Phascolarctos cinereus, is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia and belongs to this genus.
What is Phascolarctos?
This characteristic of life encompasses the biochemical pathways by which organisms consume energy and produce waste.
What is metabolism?
This term refers to factors that are included at the level of ecosystem that are nonliving.
What are abiotic factors?
This type of symbiosis results in both organisms benefiting and often occurs in the process of coevolution.
What is mutualism?
This component of the nitrogen cycle is the process by which ammonia is made.
What is ammoniafication?
This Kingdom is mostly multicellular, but does contain single-celled yeast.
This characteristic of life is necessary for living organisms when they encounter stimuli.
What is responding or being capable of a response?
This level of ecological organization encompasses similar ecosystems located in different places on earth.
This is the name of the organism that is harmed by a parasite.
What is the host?
This component of both the carbon and nitrogen cycles returns carbon and nitrogen to the Earth after living organisms die.
What is decomposition?
