25
levels of classification
DKPCOFGS
26
Binomial Nomenclature
twi word naming system where genus appears first and species second
27
Dichotomous key
Identifies organisms by makingbintjvsmaller groups
28
Climate
avrage weather conditions in particular region over period of time usually 39 ys ir more determined by precipitation and temperature
29
Biomes
Large ecosystems plotted based on annual temp and precipitation
30
Terrestrial biomes
On land
31
Aquatic biomes
lakes rivers
32
Habitats
within biomes where vegetation zones are different
33
Niche
The role that members of a species play in a community and the total range of abiotic and biotic factors basically job in ecosystem
34
Aquatic ecosystems classify as
Littoral, Benthic, Profundal, Limnetic
35
Littoral
close to shore
36
Benthic
lower levels of a body of water
37
Profundal
deep zones ni light penetration
38
Limnetic
open well lit surface waters
39
where’s most life found in ehat aquatic zone
limnetic
40
Limmiting factors
things thatcstop populations from growing unlimited fashion
41
Limiting factirs competition is split into
infraspecific and interspecific
42
biotic limiting factirs
competitors predation and parasitism
43
Intra specific competition
within populations
44
interspecific competiton
between population
45
how are species bamed in ecology test
Genus then species ex lupus americanus
46
what does a niche describe
a organisms job in environment their food predators pray and life
