| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| List 5 types of community interactions. | Competition, Predation, Mutualism, Ammensalism, Commensalism, Parasitism |
| What is a renewable resource? | A resource that can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time |
| What is a non-renewable resource? | A resource that cannot be replaced in a reasonable time |
| What is population? | A group of individuals of the same species living together in a place |
| When does primary succession occur? | Occurs on surfaces where no soil exists |
| When does secondary succession occur? | Occurs on surfaces where soil does exists |
| What is a density-dependent limiting factor? | Affects population differently depending on size |
| Give an example of a density-dependent limiting factor. | An example is food, habitat, disease, and water |
| Define population density. | A measurement of population per unit area |
| What is global warming? | A gradual increase in the overall temperature |
| What are some threats to biodiversity? | Humans, hunting, pollution, exotic species introduction |
| What makes acid rain? | Sewage, wastes, fertilizers, pesticides, and hot water from power plants |
| What are some problems that arise from deforestation? | Some problems are loss in animal vegetation and habitat |
| What world-wide events in our history have led to rapid population growth? | Reproducing, immigration, birth |
| What is emigration? | The moving out |
| In what biome may an alligator be found? | Estuary biome |
| What are some factors of the photic zone? | Rich diverse organisms, region where light reaches |
| Which biome is under the water, has no light, and has high pressures? | The aquatic biomes |
| Which biome have very low temperatures? | The tundra biomes |
| What is permafrost? | Thick subsurface layer of soil that remains frozen |
| Which biome gets the most rainfall? | Tropical Rainforest |
| Which biome gets the least amount of rainfall? | Desert |
| What two things determine the three climate zones found on earth? | Latitude, and the angle |
| What is parasitism? | One organism lives in or on another and harms it |
| What is a habitat? | The place an organism lives |
| What is a niche? | A range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and how it uses the environment |
| What is competition? | When organisms compete for the same resources |
| What is predation? | One organism capture's and feeds on another |
| What is symbiosis? | Two species live closely together |
| What is mutualism? | Both species living together benefit |
| What is ammensalism? | Where one member is harmed, the other is unaffected |
| What is commensalism? | Where one member benefits, the other is unaffected |
| What type of aquatic biomes are there? | Marine, Estuary, and Freshwater biomes |
| What is the difference between photic zone, and aphotic zone? | Photic zones are places where light reaches in water, and aphotic is where it is completely dark in the water |
| What type of terrestrial biomes are there? | Arctic Tundra, Taiga, Desert, Grasslands, Savanna, Temperate Forest, Tropical Rainforest. |
