Population, Enviorment Etc

Front 1

What is an organism?

Back 1

A living thing

Front 2

What does a organism do?

Back 2

A orgsnism obtains food, water, shelter, and other things it needs to live, grow, and reproduce from its enviorment.

Front 3

What is an enviorment the provides the things the organism need to live, grow, and reproduce?

Back 3

Habitat

Front 4

What are the living parts of its habitat?

Back 4

Biotic Factors

Front 5

What are the non-living parts of an organisms habitat?

Back 5

Abiotic Factors

Front 6

What do all living things need?

Back 6

Food, shelterWater, Sunlight, Oxygen, temperature and soil.

Front 7

What is photosynthesis?

Back 7

The process in which oraganisms use water along with sunlight and carbon dioxide to make their own food.

Front 8

The temperatures that are typical of an area determine the types of ________ that can live there

Back 8

Organisms

Front 9

What is soil?

Back 9

A mixture of rock fragments, nutrients, air, water, and the decaying remains of living things

Front 10

What is a species?

Back 10

A group of organisms that are physically similar and can mate with eachother and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce

Front 11

What is a population?

Back 11

All the members of one speciesw is a paticular area

Front 12

What is a community?

Back 12

All the different populations that live together in an area

Front 13

What is a ecosystem?

Back 13

The community of oraganism that live in a paticular area, along with nonliving surroundings

Front 14

What are the levels of organization?

Back 14

the single oraganism which belongs to a population that includes other members of its species. The population belongs to a community of different species. The community and abiotic factors together form a ecosystem.

Front 15

What is ecology?

Back 15

The study of how living things interact with eachother and with their enviorment.

Front 16

What are the methods of determining the size of a population? and what does each one do?

Back 16

Direct Observation-
Count all of its members
Indirect Observation-
Observing signs of oraganisms
Sampling-
Count the numver of organisms in a small area then multiply by the bigger area
Mark and Recapture-
Catching them and marking them, releasing them. Catch them again later and count how many still have the mark they later use a mathematic formula to determine the population

Front 17

What is an estimate?

Back 17

An approxmation of a number based on reasonable assumptions.

Front 18

What is birthrate?

Back 18

The number of births in a population in a certain amount of time

Front 19

What is death rate?

Back 19

The number of deaths in a population in a certain amount of time.

Front 20

What is immigration?

Back 20

Moving into a population.

Front 21

What is emmigration?

Back 21

Leaving a population

Front 22

Population Density?

Back 22

The number of indivuidals in a specific area

Front 23

Limiting factor?

Back 23

An enviormental factor that causes a population to decrease

Front 24

Carring capasity?

Back 24

The largest population an area can support.

Front 25

Natural Selection?

Back 25

A process by which characteristics that make a indivual better suited to its enviorment become more commin in a species.

Front 26

Adaptation?

Back 26

A behavior or physical characteristic that allows an oragnism to live successfully in its enviorment.

Front 27

Niche

Back 27

The role of an organism or how it makes its living.

Front 28

Compition?

Back 28

A struggle between organisms to survive as they attempt to use the same limited resource.

Front 29

Predation?

Back 29

A interaction in which one organism kills another for food.

Front 30

Preditor?

Back 30

The organism that does the killing in a predation interaction.

Front 31

Pray

Back 31

The organism that is killed and eaten by another organism.

Front 32

Symboisis

Back 32

A close relationship between two species that benifits atleast one of the species

Front 33

Mutalism

Back 33

A relationshop that both of the species benifit from

Front 34

Commensalism

Back 34

The relationship between two species that benifit in which one benifits and the other is neither helped or harmed

Front 35

Parasitism

Back 35

A relationshiip in which one organism lived on or in a host and harms it

Front 36

Parasite

Back 36

The organism that benifits by living on or in a host

Front 37

Host

Back 37

The organism that which a parasite lives in or on in a parastism interaction

Front 38

How do biologist determine the size of a population?

Back 38

There are 4 ways of doing this:
Direct observation
Indirect observation
Sampling
Mark and recapture

Front 39

How can a population decrease?

Back 39

Lack of food, shelter, water, and hunting

Front 40

What are the limiting factors?

Back 40

Food, water, space, and weather conditions

Front 41

What is the connection betweem adaptations and natural selections?

Back 41

Natural selection results in adaptation.

Front 42

Relationships between animals
1) Compeition
2) Predation
3) Symbiois

Back 42

1) The struggle between organism to survive as they use the same limited space
2) One organism kills another for food
3) A close relationship between two species that benifits atleast one of them

Front 43

What specific adaptations do predators have to help them survive?

Back 43

Some have adaptions to help them hunt(example bigs eyes of an owl lets it see at night)
Some have adaptations that help the catching the prey(exa. cheetahs run fast)
