| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| study of the ineractions of living organisms with 1 another and their physical environment. | ecology |
| place where a paticular population of a species lives. | habitat |
| many different species that live together in a habitat. | community |
| consists of a community and all the physical aspects of a habitat. | ecosystem |
| physical aspects of a habitat. | abiotic factors |
| organism in a habitat. | biotic factors |
| variety of organisms , their genetic differences and the communities and ecosystems in which they occur. | biodiversity |
| the 1st organism to live in a new habitat where soil is present tend to be small , fast-growing plants. | pioneer species |
| somewhat regular progressionof species replacement. | succession |
| occures where life has not existed before. | primary succession |
| occurs in areas where there has been previous growth. | secondary succession |
| rate at which organic material is produced by photosynthetic organisms in an ecosystem. | primary productivity |
| organisms that 1st capture energy. | producers |
| organisms that consume plants or other organisms to obtain the energy necessary to build their molecules. | consumers |
| ecologist study how energy moves through an ecosystem by assigning organisms in that ecosystem to a specific level. | tropic level |
| path of energy through the trophic levels of an ecosystem. | food chain |
| 2nd trophic level ; animals that eat plants or other primary producers. | herbivores |
| 3rd trophic level ; animals that eat other animals. | carnivores |
| both herbivores and carnivores. | omnivores |
| obatain their energy from the organic wastes and dead bodies that are produced at all trophic levels. | detrivtivores |
| bacteria and fungi. | decomposers |
| creats a complicated , interconnected group of food chains. | food web |
| diagram in which each trophic level is represented by a block and blocks are stacked on top of one another. | energy pyramid |
| dry weight of tissue and other organis matter found in a specific ecosystem. | biomass |
| paths that form closed circles or cycle. | biogeochemical cycle |
| water retained beneath the surface of the eart. | ground water |
| sun-driven process ; water moves into the atmosphere by evaporating from leaves. | transpiration |
| process of combining nirtogen with hydrogen to form ammonia. | nitrogen fixation |
