| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Plant Community | collection of species, same time and space |
| Ecosystem | Abiotic and Biotic |
| Food Chain | Linear straight line down |
| Food web | Spread out like a spiders web |
| Primary succession | Starts from nothing and builds soil and life |
| Secondary succession | there is already soil and fire, then new life comes through |
| Symbyosis | Two species depending on each other |
| Parasitism | One wins and the other looses |
| Mutualism | Work together |
| Commensalism | One benefits the other doesnt really care |
| Producer | Generally plants, Photosynthetically active |
| Consumer | 1st order consumer eats plants, 2nd eats the creatures that ate the plants and 3rd eat those creatures |
| herbivore | eats plants |
| carnivore | eats creatures |
| trophic levels | how things are nourished |
| Nutrient cycles | calcium, carbon, water can be passed on |
| energy flows | from the sun |
| biomes | include: tundra, taiga, temperate deciduous forrest, grassland, desert, mountain and coastal forest, tropical forest, oak woodlands , coniferous forests |
| tundra | coldest (permafrost) always frost |
| taiga | boreal forest, forest of the north |
| temperate deciduous forest | warm/productive summer, wet |
| mountain and coastal forest | micro climates |
| tropical rain forest | highest productivity, rain and lots of species |
| oak woodlands | evergreen and desiduous, moterate to low productivity, foothill forest |
| coniferous forests | pines |
| is fire good or bad | both (it depends) |
| Fire dependent species | Chapparal species and pines, the fire releases the seeds |
| Climate change | getting hotter and colder, carbon from humans is main contributor |
| Niche partitioning | where you live & what you do |
| what do animals need to survive | water, food, oxygen and shelter |
| desert associations | limited conditions - limited water and shelter, hot Producers and food - Spiney, low productivity Habitat diversity - low species number - low solutions - nocturnal animals, underground during day common animals - birds, reptiles, rodents (lots of sn |
| valley grassland associations | limiting conditions - hot and dry producers and food - grass habitat diversity - fairly low species number - fairly low solutions - burrow underground, birds transition with the seasons common animals - mice, rats, birds, reptiles |
| Foothill woodland associations | limiting conditions - hot and dry, trees for birds producers and food - oaks, grasses, conifers habitat diversity - fairly diverse species number - fairly high solutions - burrow, transition with seasons common animals - gray squirel, birds, deer, co |
| Chaparral associations | limiting conditions - hot and dry, rains in winter producers and food - shrubs, perenial, evergreen, grasses and cacti habitat diversity - moderate species number - moderate solutions - spines on everything and poison common animals - |
| Yellow pine forest associations | limiting conditions - can be dry, cold, producers and food - Pines, oaks, berries habitat diversity - high species number - high solutions - hibernation, migration down slope, burrowing common animals - squirels |
| Other coniferous forest associations | limiting conditions - cold producers and food - pine trees habitat diversity - moderate species number - moderate solutions - hibernation common animals - |
| igneous rock | once lava and then cooled |
| igneous rocks include | basalt, vesicular basalt, obsidian, granite |
| basalt | black and can be red, heavy |
| vesicular basalt | holes in it |
| obsidian | shiney basically glass |
| granite | large crystals in rocks |
| pummis | light and full of air |
| sedimentary rock | pieces that come together |
| sedimentary rock include | sandstone, shale, limestone |
| sandstone | sand |
| shale | made of clay |
| limestone | bubbles with acid |
| metamorphic rock | has changed |
| metamorphic rock includes | quartzite, slate, marble, gneiss |
| quartzite | from sandstone |
| slate | from shale |
| marble | from limestone |
| gneiss | has black and white layers |
| playa lake | dry and flat lake (salt lake we saw) |
| alluvial fan | water has moved the materials to a place |
