| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| All the living and non-living things that surround an organism is the organisms | environment |
| All the living and non-living things in an environment and the ways they affect one another is an | ecosystem |
| The nonliving things that affect the organism that are not caused by other organisms are | Abiotic Environmental Factors |
| The living things that affect the organism that are caused by other organisms are | Biotic Environmental Factors |
| Organisms that live together and often depend on one another for food and other requirements make up a | community |
| An enclosed area where plants and animals are kept for research or observation is a | terrarium |
| A group of the same kind of organism living in the same area is a | population |
| The maximum population size in an area that the resources can support is the | carrying capacity |
| Any living plant or animal is an | organism |
| Any condition that influences the growth or survival of an organism or species is a | limiting factor |
| When one organism in its community is the organism's | niche |
| The number of individuals per unit of living space is an ecosystem is the | population density |
| The place where a population lives is the population's | habitat |
| A specific interaction between two species over a long time is known as | symbiosis |
| The transfer of food energy as organisms feed on other organisms is known as a | food chain |
| The way an organism acts towards its ecosystem is its | behavior |
| Anything in the ecosystem that causes an organism to react is a | stimulous |
| The action of an organism as a result of the stimulous is the organism's | response |
| Would the sun shining bright be a stimulous or a response | stimulous |
| Would shielding your eyes from the bright sun be a stimulous or a response | response |
| Behaviors an animal is born with and is passed on from generation to generation are called | innate behavior |
| A behavior that is taught is a | learned behavior |
| A trait that helps an organism to survive in a particular ecosystem is an | adaptation |
| A cactus having spikes is an example of a structural or behavioral adaptation | structural |
| Something that can be changed in an experiment is a | variable |
| The set of environmental conditions that an organism appears to choose over other conditions is the organism's | preferred environment |
| The ability of an organism to survive under a given set of conditions is the organism's | tolerance |
| The varying conditions of one environmental factor in which an organism can survive is the organism's | range of tolerance |
| Environmental conditions that are the best conditions for an organism are known as what kind of conditions | optimum |
| An aquatic environment is on that has to do with | water |
| A terrestrial environment is one that has to do with the | soil |
| Phototropism is when a plant grows | towards the sun |
| Geotropism is when a plant's roots grow down into the soil because of | gravity |
| The most energy in an energy pyramid is found at the | bottom |
| Where does energy for an ecosystem come from | sun |
| A herbivore is an animal that only eats | plants |
| A carnivore is an animal that eats other | animals |
| An omnivore is an animal that eats | plants and animals |
| Is a carnivore a primary or secondary consumer | secondary |
| Are a scavenger and a decomposer the same thing | No |
| Do both scavengers and decomposers eat living things | No |
| Does a scavenger eat dead animals | Yes |
| Does a decomposer break down what the scavenger leaves behind | Yes |
| What two things do living things need in order to survive | Energy and Matter |
| Is a herbivore a primary or secondary consumer | primary |
| Is weather an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Are plants an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Biotic |
| Is climate an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Is temperature an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Is light an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Is water an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Is soil an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Is pollution an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Are chemicals an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Are minerals an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Abiotic |
| Are plants an Abiotic or Biotic environmental factor | Biotic |
