Term
Definition
carrying capacity   the amount of organisms a specific area can hold without leading to the decline of organism population  
🗑
Cellular respiration   the process that takes part hand in hand with photosynthesis, using its products to give fuel for other organisms  
🗑
Chemical Equations   the written process in which chemicals interact and go through.  
🗑
climax community   the point where an area can hold two or more species allowing them to live there indefinitely  
🗑
commensalism   a biotic relationship where one of the organisms involves where the other organism is neither harmed or helped  
🗑
Consumer   an organisms that relies off of producers and their products  
🗑
cyclic growth   a pattern population numbers take on when two species depend on each others population to grow and fall  
🗑
decomposer   an organism that lives to break down dead matter in order to return their nutrients back into the soil  
🗑
density dependent factors   a variable that effects the growth of population numbers  
🗑
density independent factors   a variable that has no effect on the rise and fall of population numbers  
🗑
ecological succession   the process an area goes through to evolve by the means of the organisms inhabiting there.  
🗑
energy flow   the amount of energy that gets passed on thorough trophic levels  
🗑
exponential growth   for population numbers to grow extremely quickly and vigorously  
🗑
logistic growth   population pattern that at first resembles exponential growth until it is paralyzed and forced to stop/level out  
🗑
mutualism   a biotic relationship where both the organisms involved benefit from their doings.  
🗑
parasitism   a biotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is harmed from the actions taken on by one of the organisms  
🗑
photosynthesis   the process which plants/consumers take in sunlight and CO2 to produce oxygen, H2O, and glucose the reactants in cellular respiration.  
🗑
pioneer species   the first species to take inhabitance in a primary succeeded environment Ex.Lichen  
🗑
population   the number of specific species living in a specific area  
🗑
producer   an organism that takes energy from the sun, most basic level of energy flow most commonly found as plants  
🗑
products   matter that comes out of reactions chemical and biotic  
🗑
pyramid of energy flow   the hierarchical flow of energy from producers to all types of consumers  
🗑
reactants   matter that combine and take on different changes to produce products chemical and biotic  
🗑
steady state   the action of an area to be stable in resources, population, and size  
🗑
sysmbiosis   broader way to look at mutualism and the action of mutually benefit organisms in a relationship  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
