What are the 3 types of Symbiotic Relationships? 1-100
Click Anywhere to Continue Commensalism Mutualism Parasitism Click Anywhere to Continue
What is Mutualism? Give an example… 1-200
Click Anywhere to Continue A relationship between two species where both benefit Ex: bird & cow Click Anywhere to Continue
What is a symbiotic relationship? 1-300
Click Anywhere to Continue A relationship between two organisms Click Anywhere to Continue
What is Parasitism? Give an example… 1-400
Click Anywhere to Continue A relationship between two organisms, where one benefits and one is harmed. Ex: a tick and you Click Anywhere to Continue
What is Commensalism? Give an example… 1-500
Click Anywhere to Continue A relationship where one organisms benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefits. Ex: A bug hitching a ride on you Click Anywhere to Continue
What is Succession? 2-100
Click Anywhere to Continue A change in an ecosystem over time Click Anywhere to Continue
What is Primary Succession? 2-200
Click Anywhere to Continue An ecosystem beginning (pioneer species) where there previously was no life Click Anywhere to Continue
What is secondary succession? 2-300
Click Anywhere to Continue An ecosystem starting where there was once life before. Click Anywhere to Continue
Why does Primary Succession take longer than Secondary Succession? 2-400
Click Anywhere to Continue Because there is no soil available Click Anywhere to Continue
What is the difference between a Pioneer Species and a Climax Community? 2-500
Click Anywhere to Continue Pioneer Species – first species in an ecosystem Climax Community – the highest point in succession Click Anywhere to Continue
What are Limiting Factors? 3-100
Click Anywhere to Continue Biotic or Abiotic factors that restricts the existence of an organism. Click Anywhere to Continue
Biotic Factors in the environment that have an increasing effect as population size increases are called… 3-200
Click Anywhere to Continue Density-Dependent Factors Click Anywhere to Continue
What are Density-Independent factors? 3-300
Click Anywhere to Continue Abiotic factors in the environment that affect populations regardless of their density Click Anywhere to Continue
What factors affect density? 3-400
Click Anywhere to Continue Immigration Emigration Birth Death Click Anywhere to Continue
What is the formula for density? 3-500
Click Anywhere to Continue Dp = N / S Click Anywhere to Continue
What is a Boom and Bust curve? 4-100
Click Anywhere to Continue A rapid increase, then rapid decrease Click Anywhere to Continue
What does a J-curve show? 4-200
Click Anywhere to Continue An exponential growth in a population Click Anywhere to Continue
What is a Carrying Capacity? How do we show it? 4-300
Click Anywhere to Continue The maximum amount of organisms that an environment can hold. It is shown as an S-curve. Click Anywhere to Continue
What type of curve does our world currently have? 4-400
Click Anywhere to Continue J-curve Click Anywhere to Continue
What are the x & y axis for a growth curve graph? 4-500
Click Anywhere to Continue Number of Species & Time Click Anywhere to Continue
What is Immigration? 5-100
Click Anywhere to Continue Movement of individuals into a populations Click Anywhere to Continue
What are the 3 key features of a Population? 5-200
Click Anywhere to Continue Size Density Dispersion Click Anywhere to Continue
Disease, starvation, competition, and parasites are examples of… 5-300
Click Anywhere to Continue Density-Dependent Factors Click Anywhere to Continue
What is the Rate of Natural Increase? 5-400
Click Anywhere to Continue Birth Rate – Death Rate Click Anywhere to Continue
What is Dispersion? 5-500
Click Anywhere to Continue How the population is spread out (clumped, even/uniform, or random) Click Anywhere to Continue
