| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Biology | bio - life ology - study of the study of living things |
| Organism | the scientific word for living thing Ex: a dog, a human, a plant |
| Habitat | an environment that provides the things specific organism needs to live, grow, and reproduce Ex: a forest, a mountain range,a beach |
| Biotic Factors | the parts of a habitat that are living, or once living, and interact with an organism Ex: a tree, animals, alge, moss, fungi |
| Abiotic Factor | the nonliving parts of an organism's habitat Ex: the sun, water, soil, temperature |

| Species | a group of organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce Ex:lions, humans, hamsters |
| Population | all the members of one species living in a particular area Ex: |
| Community | all the different populations that live together in an area |
| Ecosystem | the community of organisms that live in a particular area, along with their nonliving environment |
| Ecology | eco-land the study of how organisms interact with each other and environment |
| Birth Rate | the number of births per 1,000 individuals for a given time period |
