Ecology how organisms affect each other
how nonliving factors affect organisms how organisms affect nonliving factors
4
Spheres celestial sphere atmosphere lithosphere hydrosphere
5
biosphere bio sphere life circle
6
ecosystem a limited area in which living and nonliving things interact
7
Ecosystem physical environment (nonliving) biotic community (living)
8
Artificial Ecosystem manmade
9
Habitat where an organism lives provides the right living conditions
10
niche the role or function of an organism in its environment
11
biome a large geographical area that contains a particular group of plants and animals and has a specific abiotic (nonliving) environment
12
abiotic nonliving
13
abiotic abiotic abiotic non or not life
14
Abiotic Environment light
15
intensity amount of light at a particular time
16
duration amount of time that light is available
17
Abiotic Environment light temperature water
18
Abiotic Environment light temperature water substrate and soil
wind and water currents
19
Fire selective destruction of some species to benefit others
destruction of insects scarification of seeds opening of forest canopy
20
water cycle the continual movement of water from the atmosphere to the earth and back to the air again
21
Water Cycle evaporation precipitation
22
Evaporation the movement of water into the atmosphere by changing from a liquid into a vapor temperature wind amount of water in the air
23
Precipitation rain snow hail sleet
24
precipitation that enters the soil
transpiration runoff water table groundwater precipitation that enters the soil
25
succession a predictable series of changes that a community goes through
26
biotic bio life
27
population all the members of one species that live in a particular ecosystem
28
Population Types producers consumers
29
Producers manufacture their own food
30
Consumers cannot manufacture their own food eat other organisms
31
Limiting Factors wind temperature water heat food
32
Carbon-Oxygen Cycle photosynthesis—oxygen
cellular respiration—carbon dioxide photosynthesis cellular respiration
34
Nitrogen Cycle lightning bolts special soil or root bacteria
35
rhythms changes that occur on a regular basis
36
Rhythms daily rhythms seasonal rhythms
37
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
38
daily rhythm a change that takes place during a twenty-four hour period
39
diurnal nocturnal day night
40
circadian daily rhythm
41
Purpose of Daily Rhythms
protect organisms reduce competition
42
seasonal rhythm a change in the ecosystem that occurs with the change of season
43
Seasonal Changes temperature water
44
Seasonal Changes adjust activities estivate hibernate
sleep for a long time
45
Seasonal Changes use heating system move away migration die
46
Birds summer residents winter residents permanent residents
