QuestionAnswer
Ecology How living organisms help each other in different surroundings.
Biotic Factors Are living things that affect its biological community.
Abiotic Factors A non-living community that builds its habitat.
Species Are communities that make copies with each other that are differently layered.
Population All of one certain type of organism that lives in the same place.
Community Dissimilar organisms that join as one in the same environment.
Ecosystem Organisms that are in non-living communities that build its habitats.
Biome A community of organisms that share pretty close environments and close weather conditions.
Biosphere Every biome on our planet.
Niche The part of how an organism affects its environment.
Habitat Where an organism lives.
Niche Partitioning How dissimilar organisms fight or use the territories to live.
Food Chain How the energy moves throughout the biological community.
Food Web Having parts that are connected to nourishment bonds.
Trophic Levels Parts of a nourishment bond.
Producer (Autotroph) Make their own food.
Consumer (Heterotroph) Are living things that can’t make their own nourishment.
Herbivore Animals that eat only plants.
Omnivore Animals that eat meat and plants.
Carnivore Animals that eat only meat.
Decomposer Eats the smaller particles of dead bodies from scavengers.
Scavenger An animal that eats garbage and dead animals, breaks it down into small particles.
Biodiversity The amount of difference existence has.
Decomposition To make smaller into easier materials for living things.
Fossil Fuel A normal kind found underground that is used as a source of energy. Produces greenhouse gasses.
Nitrogen Fixation The operation when it’s converted into dead compounds.
Denitrification Taking away nitrogen mixtures.
Symbiosis The friendship with two dissimilar types of living things.
Mutualism When a pair of different organisms help each other to benefit each other in their connection.
Commensalism When one species benefits in a pair of different organisms and none are hurting each other.
Parasitism When one species benefits in a pair and the other is being harmed, can die.
Succession The expected repeating sequence of increasings of living things in an environment.
Primary Succession A place that is established for opening day by a class of living things in a population.
Secondary Succession When living things re-grow into an ecosystem over time after a destructive thing hits them.
Climax Community Firm living things in a place after they increase in population.
Pioneer Organisms First living things that are remade.
Logistical Growth The species decreases from less food. Which soon straightens out.
Exponential Growth When a species increases at a large rate.
Carrying Capacity Any organism’s medians community size.
Limiting Factors Reduces speed of a species from expanding its occupants.
Density Dependent Limiting Factors Closely packed populations are increasingly affected compared to smaller species.
Density Independent Limiting Factors Anything that can disrupt any organism's population size.
Predator Animals that eliminate and digest other living animals.
Prey The animal that are being searched and eliminated by dissimilar animals for nourishment.
Deforestation The removal of trees on our earth.
Ozone The normal part of Earth’s higher atmosphere.
Global Warming When the earth heats up from greenhouse gasses and animals die.
Greenhouse Effect Is when earth warms from fossil fuels that get stuck in the atmosphere and that’s from the sun.
Invasive Species Are animals that expand diseases and enlarge in population that can cause a person to have health issues.
Biological Magnification Toxins in pesticides in a group of cells of communities that use elevated levels in the food chain as nourishment.
Habitat Fragmentation When these places split to become tinier ones. The split of different types of living things that lived in the same place, relied on each other.
Overhunting When you search for too many animals and kill them.
