| Density-dependent factor | a variable affected by the number of organisms in given area: Food and Water |
| Producer/Consumer | P-can make own food C- relies on others for food |
| Genetic Drift | the random change in allele frequency in a population Ex; Natural disasters, disease |
| Gene Flow | the movement of individuals to or from a population |
| Immigrants | add alleles to the population |
| Emmigrants | take alleles away |
| Carrying Capacity | the largest population that an environment can support |
| Speciation | formation of a new and distinct species in the course of evolution |
| Reproductive Isolation | the condition in which two populations of the same species do not breed with one another because of their geographic separation |
| Vestigial Structure | an anatomical feature or structure that no longer has a purpose in a modern organism Ex; appendix |
| Natural Selection | survival of the fittest, organisms with the best genes/traits live the longest |
| Chemosynthesis | Occurs in deep ocean environments, a process to obtain food using chemical energy |
| Photosynthesis | Plants make glucose/sugar using sunlight, oxygen is released |
| Cellular Respiration | breaking down glucose- oxygen is required for this |
| Cyanobacteria | responsible for oxygen on land |
| Endosymbiosis | Relationship where one organism lives within another |
