| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| carrying capacity | is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water and other necessities available in the environment. |
| cellular respiration | is therefore a process in which the energy in glucose is transferred to ATP. |
| chemical equations | s the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction wherein the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities on the right-hand side. |
| climax community | An ecological community remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment. A climax community is the final stage of succession, remaining relatively unchanged until destroyed by an event such as fire or human interference. |
| commensalism | is a class of relationships between two organisms where one organism benefits from the other without affecting it. |
| consumer | Consumers are organisms that receive all their energy by consuming other types of organisms or organic matter. |
| cyclic growth | is a pattern of vegetation change in which in a small number of species tend to replace each other over time in the absence of large-scale disturbance. |
| decomposer | are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so carry out the natural process of decomposition. |
| density-dependent factors | A limiting factor that depends on population size is called a density-dependent limiting factor. |
| density-independent factors | such as weather and climate, exert their influences on population size regardless of the population's density. |
| ecological succession | s the observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. |
| energy flow | the flow of energy through a biological food chain. |
| exponential growth | occurs when the growth rate of the value of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value. |
| logistic growth | P(t) = P0 ert, |
| mutualism | is the way two organisms of different species exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits from the activity of the other. |
| parasitism | is a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host. |
| photosynthesis | s a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, |
| pioneer species | are hardy species which are the first to colonize previously disrupted or damaged ecosystems, beginning a chain of ecological succession |
| population | the dynamics of species populations and how these populations interact with the environment. |
| producer, | Primary producers are organisms in an ecosystem that produce biomass from inorganic compounds (autotrophs) |
| pyramid of energy | show how the energy flows through a food chain |
| reactants | A substance that participates in a chemical reaction and becomes changed by that reaction. |
| steady state | any matter entering the system is equivalent to the matter exiting the system. |
| symbiosis | is close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species. |
