| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A place where an organism lives and that provides the things the organism needs such as water, food, and shelter. | Habitat |
| The living parts of an ecosystem such as plants and animals. | Biotic |
| The non-living parts of an ecosystem such as water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, and soil. | Abiotic |
| Smallest functional and strucural unit of living organisms. | Cell |
| A group of similar cells that perform a common function. | Tissue |
| A group of similar tissues that perform a common funtion. | Organ |
| A group of organs that perform a common function. | Organ system |
| One living thing. | Organism |
| One species. | Population |
| Two or more species. | Community |
| All the living and non-living. | Ecosystem |
| A large region characterized by a similar type of climate and certain types of plant and animal communities. | Biome |
| The part of earth where life exists. | Biosphere |
| The study of how living things interact with one another and with their enviorment. | Ecology |
| adds to a population. | Birth rate |
| Leave a population | Death rate |
| Moving into a population | Immigration |
| Moving out of a population | Emigration |
| Enviromental factor that prevents a population from increasing such as food, space, and weather. | Limiting factors |
| Autotorphs, organisms that can make their own food. For example plants, algae, and some bacteria. Each food chain must start with a producer. | Producer |
| Heterotrophs, cannot make their own food. Classified by what they eat. | Consumers |
| Eat plants | Herbivores |
| Eat meat | Carnivores |
| Eat plants and meat | Omnivores |
| A carnivores that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms. | Scavengers |
| Organisms break down dead waste and dead organisms. Examples fungi, worms, and bacteria. | Decomposers |
| a seris of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy. The first organism in a food chain is ALWAYS a producer. | Food chain |
| Many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem. | Food web |
| Show the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web. The most energy is avaliable at the producer level. At each level, there is less avaliable energy than at the level below. | Energy pyramid |
| The position that an organism occupies in a food web. | Trophic level |
| An organisms particular role, or how it makes its living in an ecosystem. It includes the type of food the organism eats, how it obtains food, and which other species use the organisms for their food. | Niche |
| The struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources. | Competition |
| Interaction in which one organism hunts and kills another for food. The hunter is the predator and the hunted is the prey the one eaten. | Predation |
| A close relationship between two species where at least one benifits. | Symbiosis |
| A close relationship between two species where one benifits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. + 0 relationship. | Commensalism |
| A close relationship between two species where both benifit. ++ relationship. | Mutualism |
| A close relationship between two species where one is helped and the other is harmed. +- relationship. | Parasitism |
| The evolution of two species that is due to mutual influence, often in a way that makes the relationship beneficial to both species. | Coevolution |
| The largest population that an enviroment can support at a given time. | Carrying Capacity |
| Recycled in an ecosystem. Energy, on the other hand is not recycled. | Matter |
| Process by molecules of liquid water absorb energy and change into the gas state. | Evaporation |
| Process by which a gas changes into a liquid. | Condesation |
| Water vapor condenses and drops back to earth in the form of rain, snow, hail, and sleet. | Precipitation |
| The by which plants release water vapor into the air through stomata. | Transpiration |
| Process of changing free nitrogen into a usable form. Bacteria that live on nodules on the plant's roots change free nitrogen into usable form in the process called nitrogen fixtion. | Nitrogen cycle |
