LESSON 6 (Biotic and Abiotic Components) Flashcards
(28 cards)
Factors that is non-living
ABIOTIC
Factors are living and can be categorize within a ecosystem structure
BIOTIC
What is the ecosystem stucture
SPECIES>POPULATION>COMMUNITY>ECOSYSTEM
It is the actual place where an organism lives
HABITAT
It is the organisms role in the ecosystem
NICHE
What is the types of role in the ecosystem?
PRODUCERS, CONSUMERS, DECOMPOSERS AND SCAVENGERS
It is a role that are autotrophic organims that make their own food
PRODUCERS
Organisms that use photosynthesis and contain chlorophy II
PHOTOTROPHIC
Organisms use chemical
CHEMOTROPHIC
It is a role that are heterophic organisms that cannot make their own food.They must ingest other organisms
CONSUMERS
Feed on vegetation
HERBIVORS
Feed on herbivores or carnivors
CARNIVORES
Feed on herbivores
SECONDARY CARNIVORES
Feed on other carnivors
TERTIARY CONSUMERS
Feed on both producers and consumers
OMNIVORES
Feed on dead or decaying organisms
SCAVENGERS
It is a role that are heterotropes that recycle small, often microscopic bits of dead organic matter into inorganic nutrients available for plants to take up from the soil.
DECOMPOSERS
These are the different feeding levels of organisms in an ecosystem
TROPHIC LEVELS
The total amount of organic matter present in a trophic level
BIOMASS
When all of the energy losses are added together, only about 10% of the energy entering one trophic level forms biomass in the next trophic level.
10 PERSENT LAW
It can show energy, biomass, or the number of organisms in a food web.
ECOLOGICAL PYRAMID
It is a series of organisms that transfer food between the trophic levels of an ecosystem using only one species at each level…a simple chain
FOOD CHAIN
show the network of food chains representing the feeding relationships among organisms in an ecosystem.
FOOD WEBS
One organism (predator) will actively hunt and consume another (prey)
PREDATION
