25
One animal feeds on a producer (plants)
Herbivory
26
A population change can cause dramatic change in its environment
Keystone species
27
A close, long term interaction between. 2 species in which at least one benefits
Symbiosis
28
Both organisms benefit from the relationship
Mutualism
29
One organism benefits from the relationship the other is not affected
Commensalism
30
One organism benefits, the other is harmed
Parasitism
31
Lives and harms its host
Parasite
32
An organism that is fed on by a parasite
Host
33
Predictable changes that occur in a community over time
Ecological succession
34
Occurs on surface where no soil exists and there is no existing community (what lives that first)
Primary succession
35
Follows a disturbance that destroys the community without destroying the soil
Secondary succession
36
Uniform and stable community that is the end result of primary and secondary succession
Climax community
37
Indicates the area where a population can be found
Geographic range
38
All the members of a species that live in the same area
Population
39
Number of individuals per unit area
Population density
40
Tells us if a population is getting smaller , bigger or staying the same
Growth rate
41
Describes the number of males and females of each age in a population
Age structure
42
Factors the effect population size
Population growth
43
The movement of individuals into an area
Immigration
44
The movement of individuals out of an area
Emigration
45
Number of individuals born to a population in a year
Birth rate
46
Number of deaths in a population in a year
Death rate
47
Individuals in a population reproduced at a constant rate the larger is gets the faster it grows
Exponential growth
48
Population goes up suddenly
J shaped curve
49
Cause by logistic growth after exponential growth
S shaped curve
50
A populations growth slows or stops after a period of exponential growth
Logistic growth
51
The largest number of individuals that an environment can support
Carrying capacity
52
A factor that can cause population growth to decrease or stop
Limiting factor
53
Become limited only when the population density becomes high enough Doesn't depend on population Affects every population no matter how many organisms there are
Density dependent factor
54
One organism captures and feeds on another
Predation
55
Factors that affect all populations in the same way regardless of the population density Affects everything
Density independent factor
56
The higher the population density, the easier it is for a parasite or disease to be transferred from organism to organism
Parasite and disease
57
Fixed nitrogen
Ammonia - NH3
58
Soil converts ammonia into this (more useable by more plants)
Nitrates - NO3
59
Can be used by autotrophs to make proteins ( more useable by more plants)
Nitrites - NO2
60
Helps nitrogen fixation into ammonia
Nitrogen gas - N2
61
Converting nitrogen gas into ammonia
Nitrogen fixation
62
Atmosphere nitrogen not usable by plants | All organisms require nitrogen to make amino acids
Nitrogen cycle
63
How carbon is passed through an environment | Released into the air by cellular respiration
Carbon cycle
64
How phosphate is passed (producer, consumer) | An essential part of DNA and RNA
Phosphorus cycle
65
Shows how water is transferred through am environment
Water Cycle
66
Photosynthesis equation
NRG(light) + H2O + CO2 == O2 + CHO
67
Cellular respiration equation
CHO + O2 == CO2 + H2O + ATP(light)
68
Ocean sediment
Phosphates - PO4 3-
