Food chain: a diagram with arrows showing one route of energy flow through an ecosystem. Food web: a diagram with arrows showing all the routes of energy flow. Ecological pyramid: a schematic illustrating either the biomass or energy content of the trophic levels in an ecosystem.
Autotrophs: produce their own nourishment Producers: plants Heterotrophs: must eat other organisms for nourishment Primary consumers: herbivores (animals that eat plants) Secondary, tertiary, etc. consumers: carnivores: animals that eat animals omnivores: eat both plants and animals scavengers: eat already dead things Decomposers: bacteria and fungi that break down dead organic matter
Niche: a way of life of a population and how it relates to the environment. a populations "role" in an environment
Relationships in Ecosystems: Predator-prey: one kills and eats the other Competition: they use the same resource Symbiosis: they "live together" mutualism: both benefit parasitism: one benefits, one is harmed commensulism: one benefits, the other is unaffected.

Population Regulation What are some factors that affect population size?
Population Regulation In Nature:
Population Regulation In Nature: Density dependent:
Population Regulation In Nature: Density dependent: affect large populations more than small populations.

Succession: the replacement of one population or community with another Primary succession: the first organisms (pioneer species) move into a vacant habitat. Secondary succession: the replacement of an established population or community Climax community: a community that can perpetuate itself for a long time.
