| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Carrying capacity | Amount of people, living organisms, a region supports without environmental degradation. |
| Cellular respiration | Reaction that uses energy, it uses fatty acids or amino acid to breakdown to produce ATP molecules. |
| Chemical equations | Chemical reaction using element symbols to show the amount of substance. |
| Climax community | Community when succession has come to an end. |
| Commensalism | Relation when one organisms is benefited but neither the other one is harmed. |
| Consumer | Organism that feeds on another organism in a food chain. |
| Cyclic growth | The cycle of growth. |
| Decomposer | A decomposer decomposes an organism and re create energy for other organism. |
| Density-dependent factors | Biotic factor, a disease or competition, it effects population size and population density. |
| Density-independent factors | Abiotic factors, that effects independent population size such as a fire or flood. |
| Ecological succession | Replacement of communities in an area following a disturbance, secondary succession, or the creation of new soil, primary succession. |
| Energy flow | Energy flow is the movement of energy from one organism from another by eating one and other it usually, organism receives 10% of other organism energy. |
| Exponential growth | The growth of a population, it occurs in the same way as compound interest. |
| Logistic growth | Occurs when the growth rate decreases as the population reaches carrying capacity. |
| Mutualism | Symbiotic relations in which both species benefit. |
| Parasitism | Symbiotic relationship in which one species such as parasites benefits in terms of growth and reproduction and feeds of other organisms. |
| Photosynthesis | In which a plant and algae take energy from the sun to turn it into food. |
| Pioneer species | The first species to be involved in a ecosystem, from previously disrupted ecosystems to create new colonization. |
| Population | The amount of organism in one area. |
| Producer | A producer is either a plant or grass, and consumers feed of of it for energy or food. |
| Pyramid of energy | Pyramid of energy is a the food chain for energy that follows as producer, primary consumer, then secondary consumer and so on. |
| Reactants | Substance that participates in a reaction. |
| Steady state | Condition in a physical process, especially as in the theory that the universe is eternal and maintained by constant creation of matter. |
| Symboisis | Relationship that happened when two different types of species live together in a unique way. |
