Question
Answer
show The scientific study of how organisms interact with their environment and all the other organisms that live in that environment  
🗑
show Environment can be organized into what six levels of hierarchy  
🗑
show Consists of all living and non living things with which organisms may interact ( abiotic-biotic)  
🗑
Biosphere   show
🗑
Biome   show
🗑
show A particular environment and all living things that are supported by it. Includes living and no living parts. Can be small as a pond or as large as a dessert  
🗑
show Is made up the living components of the ecosystem. A group of population that live in a particular area and interact with one another  
🗑
Population   show
🗑
Organism   show
🗑
show How does energy enter into the living parts of ecosystem?  
🗑
Habitats   show
🗑
Niche   show
🗑
show Is an organism that captures energy and stores it in food as chemical energy. Plants, photosynthesis bacteria  
🗑
show First order of consumer. Consumers. Eats only plants. Ex. Caterpillars, deer  
🗑
show Consumers eat only animals. Ex lions, spiders, snake  
🗑
show Consumers that eat both plants and animals. Ex raccoons, coyotes, most humans  
🗑
Scavengers   show
🗑
show Four types. Are organisms that get their energy by eating, or consuming other organisms.  
🗑
show Producers transform the suns energy into sugars. Consumers take in this stored energy when they set the producers.  
🗑
show Organisms that break down dead plant and animals matter into simpler compounds  
🗑
show What are the 2 major groups of deco posers  
🗑
show Eat dead matter like plant and animal remains ex worms and snails  
🗑
show Is a model of the feeding relationship between many different consumers and producers in an ecosystem It is overlapping and interconnected  
🗑
show Describes the feeding relationship between producer and a single chain of consumers in an ecosystem  
🗑
Both show how organism receive their energy. How different organisms depend on each other. Food chain is a single chain of feeding relationships in an ecosystem. A food web show many different feeding relationships   show
🗑
show What ways do the arrows point on a food web  
🗑
Energy pyramid   show
🗑
Producers   show
🗑
Tertiary consumers   show
🗑
show How is energy is transferred through out the energy pyramid  
🗑
What is the 10% law?   show
🗑
Producers1000 kg, primary herbivores 100 kg, second consumers 10 kg, top carnivores tertiary 1 kg   show
🗑
At each level in the pyramid there is less available energy than the level before   show
🗑
Producer ( autotrophs) primary consumer ( herbivores) secondary consumer (omnivores/ small carnivores) tertiary consumer ( carnivores)   show
🗑
show Explain the mice, snake, and hawk relationship what happened if removed  
🗑
show What is the order of consumers of snake, hawk, mice and why?  
🗑
show What are the interaction of species  
🗑
Parasite   show
🗑
Host   show
🗑
show Is an animal that kills and eats other animals Hunts and eats another animal  
🗑
show Is an animal eaten by a predator. In food chain. An organism can be both  
🗑
Predator eat and leave and parasites stay and consumer on the host parasite is usually smaller   show
🗑
show Autotrophs Plants that capture the sunlight  
🗑
show Herbivores , deer  
🗑
show Small carnivores, omnivores . Wolves , coyotes  
🗑
show Large carnivores. Lions  
🗑
show Change in ecological communities over a long period of time  
🗑
Primary succession and secondary succession   show
🗑
Primary succession   show
🗑
Pioneer species   show
🗑
show Series of changes that occur after a disturbance in a disturbance in an existing ecosystem. Ex fire, flood, abandon field  
🗑
Bare rock, Lichens and Mosses, Grasses and Shrubs, softwood, Mixed Hardwood   show
🗑
show No soil, no available nutrients, no active life... Not a community  
🗑
show Pioneer species, first to colonize rocks, secrete acid onto rocks which liberates nutrients, catches wind blown dirt, can take 100 to 1000 years. Least diverse, least stable  
🗑
show Early succession plants, do not need deep roots. Like full sun. Shrubs that move in causes shade and kills them  
🗑
Softwood   show
🗑
Mixed Harwood   show
🗑
show Living together Close relationship between two organism lives near, on, or inside another organism  
🗑
Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism   show
🗑
show An interaction between two species that benefits both. Ex bee and flowers. Bee need the food from nectar, but the help flowers by pollinating  
🗑
Commensalism symbiosis (+,0)   show
🗑
Parasitism symbiosis (+,0)   show
🗑
show The final stable plant community. The community may reach a point of stability that can last for hundreds or thousand years  
🗑
show What is the difference between primary and secondary succession  
🗑
Intraspecific competition   show
🗑
Interspecific competition   show
🗑
Intraspecific occurs with same species and interspecific completion occurs among different species competing for same resources that are limited   show
🗑
Predation (+,-)   show
🗑
1. Everything is connected to everything else. 2. Everything must go somewhere. 3. Nature knows best. 4 there is no such thing as a free lunch   show
🗑
Fundamental niche and Realized niche   show
🗑
show All the resources opportunities an organism can occupy. Potential  
🗑
show The resources opportunities an organism DOES occupy. Actual  
🗑
show What are each level of the food chain called  
🗑
Heat of organism   show
🗑
