Question | Answer |
Carrying Capacity | The limit of organisms that an ecosystem can support. |
Cellular Respiration | The process that uses energy from sugars to create ATP (energy used by cells) |
Chemical Equations | A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction |
Climax Community | The apex stage of succession |
Commensalism | A relationship between organisms that benefits one and doesn't harm or benefit the other |
Consumer | An organism that cannot produce its own food and therefore eats other organisms |
Cyclic Growth | Growth occurs when there is a low amount of population, food is very high, so the population explodes. |
Decomposer | An organism that feeds and gains energy by breaking down dead matter |
Density dependant Factors | Biotic factors that affects population according to population density |
Density independent Factors | Abiotic factors that affect population regardless of population density |
Ecological Succession | Gradual replacement of communities over time |
Energy Flow | How energy transfers through a food web or chain |
Exponential Growth | Growth of a population that increases in a similar way to compound interest |
Logistic Growth | The point where a population reaches the carrying capacity of the ecosystem |
Mutualism | A relationship between two organisms that benefits both |
Parasitism | A relationship between two organism that benefits one and harms the other |
Photosynthesis | The process that plants use to convert light energy, carbon dioxide and water to make sugars and oxygen |
Pioneer Species | The first organisms in primary succession to settle in an ecosystem |
Population | A group of a single species in a ecosystem |
Producer | An organism capable of making its own food and energy |
Products | A substance that forms after a reaction |
Pyramid of Energy | A model used to describe the way energy is lost as heat when a creature gains energy |
Reactants | Substances used to make a reaction |
Steady State | An equilibrium of populations |
Symbiosis | Relationships had between organisms |
