Ecology
The regrowth of a community after a disturbance has occurred is called Secondary Succession
Symbiosis in which both organisms benefit Mutualism
Organism that breaks down the remains of organisms and recycles the nutrients back into the soil decomposer
Diagram that shows a single pathway of energy flow in an ecosystem Food chain
Diagram that shows how energy is lost as you move up a food chain Energy pyramid
An organism that a predator hunts prey
Heterotroph that consumes other animals carnivore
This process used by autotrophs that uses energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water, and releases oxygen to make glucose photosynthesis
Most abundant producer in the ocean phytoplankton
Biome with 4 seasons and trees which leaves change colors Temperate deciduous forest
Biome that is characterized by having permanently frozen soil Tundra
A role an organism plays in its environment is called niche
Biome characterized by having little rainfall, being hot during the day, and cold at night. desert
Symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed parasitism
Organisms that are at the base of all food chains producer
A group of the same species is called a population
A region of the earth that is characterized by the climate and the organisms that live there biome
This is the ultimate source of energy on earth and is needed for the process of photosynthesis sunlight
The gradual development of a community over time that occurs in predictable stages. Begins with a pioneer species such as lichen and the creation of soil. Succession
