8 Describe each of the following terms: Organism Population Community
9 Describe each of the following terms: Organism one of any living thing Population - all the organisms that belong to the same species living in a community Community - all the populations of different species that live in an ecosystem
10
11 Describe each of the following terms: Ecosystem Habitat Niche
12 Describe each of the following terms: Ecosystem - all the living organisms that live in an area and the nonliving features of their environment Habitat - place where an organism lives and that provides the types of food, shelter, moisture, and temperature needed for survival Niche - in an ecosystem, refers to the unique ways an organism survives, obtains food and shelter, and avoids danger
13 Describe each of the following terms: Limiting factor Carrying capacity
14 Describe each of the following terms: Limiting factor - anything that can restrict the size of a population, including living and nonliving features of an ecosystem, such as predators or drought Carrying capacity - largest number of individuals of a particular species that an ecosystem can support over time
15 Describe each of the following terms: Producer Consumer Decomposer
16 Describe each of the following terms: Producer - organism, such as a green plant or alga, that uses an outside source of energy like the Sun to create energyrich food molecules Consumer - organism that cannot create energy-rich molecules but obtains its food by eating other organisms Decomposer consume wastes and dead organisms
17 Describe each of the following terms: Predator Prey
18 Describe each of the following terms: Predator an animal that hunts and kills other animals for food. A predator is a consumer [carnivore or omnivore] Prey an animal that is hunted and caught for food. Prey is a consumer; it may be a herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore.
19 Describe each of the following terms: Species Carnivore Herbivore Omnivore
20 Describe each of the following terms: Species- a class of individuals having some common characteristics or qualities; related individuals that resemble one another, are able to breed among themselves, but are not able to breed with members of another species. Carnivore eat omnivores or other carnivores [other consumers] Herbivore eat producers Omnivore eat producers and consumers
21 Describe each of the following terms: Adaptations of consumers: Carnivore - meat-eating animal with sharp canine teeth specialized to rip and tear flesh Herbivore - plant-eating mammal with incisors specialized to cut vegetation and large, flat molars to grind it Omnivore - plant- and meat-eating animal with incisors specialized to cut vegetables, premolars to chew meat, and molars to grind food

23 Describe each of the following terms: Energy flow through an ecosystem
24 Describe each of the following terms: Energy flow through an ecosystem - the movement of energy through an ecosystem through food webs. The transfer of energy from one organism to another.
25 Review the flow of energy through plants and animals here: me2.html
26 Describe each of the following terms: Food chain Food web
27 Describe each of the following terms: Food chain - chain of organisms along which energy, in the form of food passes. An organism feeds on the link before it and is in turn prey for the link after it. Food web - Complex network of many interconnected food chains and feeding relationships; a group of interconnecting food chains
28 Review food chains here: foodchains.htm
29 Describe each of the following Energy pyramid terms:
30 Describe each of the following terms: Energy pyramid a way of showing energy flow. As the amount of available energy decreases, the pyramid gets smaller. Each layer on a pyramid is called a trophic level.
31 Describe each of the following terms:
32 Review energy pyramids here: pyramid.html
33 Describe each of the following terms: Mutualism Commensalism Symbiosis Parasitism
34 Describe each of the following terms: Mutualism - a type of symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit Commensalism - a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism is not affected Symbiosis - any close relationship between species, including mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism Parasitism -a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism is harmed
35 Describe each of the following terms: Succession Primary succession Secondary succession
36 Describe each of the following terms: Succession - natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary Primary succession takes where no soil exists Secondary succession takes place where soil is already present
37 Describe each of the following terms: Pioneer species Climax community
38 Describe each of the following terms: Pioneer species - a group of hardy organisms, such as lichens, found in the primary stage of succession and that begin an area's soil-building process Climax community - stable, end stage of ecological succession in which the plants and animals of a community use resources efficiently and balance is maintained by disturbances such as fire.
