Ecosystem
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an ecosystem? | An ecosystem can be described as a place for animals or plants. But the word means all the biotic and abiotic factors that interact in an area. |
| How can the word population be shown and what is it? | A population is all of the same species in an ecosystem, and it can be shown by looking at a forest or city. The amount of squirrels in that forest or the amount of a certain race in that city. |
| How is competition affecting the growth of populations? | The competition in a area can limit a population from growing because it means the living things that compete for food and space. This effects population growth because this means that the space for a population to grow may be unavailable. |
| What are the limiting factors in an ecosystem? | The limiting factors are anything that restricts or limits population growth.This means that the number of individuals in a population may stay the same or drop. |
| How can the carrying capacity affect the number of species an ecosystem can hold. | It affects the numbers because the carrying capacity is the maxium amount of species a certain area can hold. |
| What is symbiosis and is there any different types? | There are three different types,one of them is commensalism this is when one species benefits from the other without harming it,the second one is mutalism this is when both of the species benefit,the third one is parasitism when one is harmed and isnt. |
| What is symbiosis? | The word symbiosis means any close relationship between species. |
| Where is commensalism found in nature? | An example of this can be with a herd of cattle grazing and another set of cattle eating the stirred up insects. |
| How is mutalism found in nature? | It can be found when you see a cleaner fish in the sea. It is a fish that removes dead skin from other fish feeding it and cleaning the other fish. |
| What is an example of parasitism? | An example of parasitism is the wasp laying eggs on a hornworm,and by the time they hatch the hornworm is dead. |
| What are decomposers? | The decomposers are animals and insects that break down dead animals or was living material. |
| What are savengers? | Savengers are animals or insects that look for dead animals or insects and leave the rest for the decomposers. |
| Why cant we see many decomposers? | We cant see many of them because they are mostly microscopic. |
| How can cooperation in nature? | It helps organisms work together toward a common purpose. |
