Q

do parasites want their hosts to die

A

Host can get killed but this isn’t the true intent; because you will need to find a new host.

Q

if a member of a species is in a different area from the other members of the same species are they all in the same population

25
how does energy leave most ecosystems
heat
26
what are the different types of ecosystems
land and aquatic
27
what are the different types of aquatic ecosystems
marine and freshwater
28
biome
a geographic region of land or water and is characterized by similar climates and the organisms adapted to it
29
biome vs ecosystem
biome is bigger than ecosystem because a biome is determined by similar climate so there are multiple ecosystems in a biome -- ecosystems are the biotic and abiotic factors in a group of populations that interacts with their environment
30
is there more variation in ecosystems or biomes and why
biomes bc the same type can look super different
31
Terrestrial means
land
32
Terrestrial Biomes
land biomes that are differentiated by temperature and precipitation
33
Are temperature and precipitation the only factors that differentiate terrestrial biomes?
no they are the major factors; terrestrial biomes are also differentiated by latitude, altitude, etc.
34
How many types of terrestrial biomes are there
8
35
What are the 9 types of terrestrial biomes?
1) Tropical Forest 2) Desert 3) Chaparral 4) Grassland 5) Temperate Forest 6) Coniferous Forests 7) Tundra
36
How many types of tropical forests are there
2
37
What are the 2 types of tropical forests
Tropical Dry Forests and Tropical Rain Forests
38
Do tropical forests have high levels of precipitation?
yes they have the highest amount of precipitation compared to any other TERRESTRIAL bioe
39
What is the temperature of a Tropical Forest
WARMEST TERRESTRIAL biome
40
What level of diversity do Tropical Forests have
HIGHEST DIVERSITY of any TERRESTRIAL biome
41
Tropical forests contain ______ of trees
canopies
42
canopy
cover of trees (very top level)
43
Tropical Dry Forest
have seasons of rain; rain is intermittent
44
Tropical Rain Forest
rains (basically) continuously throughout the year
45
Savanna
warmer grassland with scattered trees
46
What is the temperature of Savannas
very hot
47
What is the precipitation of Savannas
moderate precipitation
48
What are the seasons of Savannas
seasonal fires and droughts in dry season
49
What organisms live in Savannas
many grazing herbivores and many carnivores
50
What is the Savanna aka
LIoN kInG bIoMe
51
What is the temperature of Deserts
2nd HOTTEST biome of any TERRESTRIAL BIOME
52
What is the precipitation of Deserts
LOWEST precipitation of any TERRESTRIAL biome
53
why are deserts not the hottest terrestrial biome
bc the nights are super duper cold
54
how do organisms who need water live in the dester
long extensive roots
55
What is the temperature of Chaparrals
Warm Temperature
56
What are Chaparral's environment like
rocky and mountainous GOATS
57
What organisms live in Chaparrals
low laying plant life (NO TREES) so small shrubs and stuff and GOATS GOATS GOATS GOATS
58
What is the temperature of Temperate Grasslands
moderate to warm
59
What is the precipitation of Temperate Grasslands
low to moderate
60
What organisms live in Temperate Grasslands
herbivores
61
Temperate Grasslands have no _____
trees
62
What is the temperature of northern Coniferous Forests
cold
63
What is the precipitation of Temperate Broadleaf Forests
good
64
Deciduous trees
trees that turn different colors and have no leaves in the winter
65
Temperate Broadleaf Forests have _______ __ ______
canopies of trees
66
Coniferous Forests are aka (but like fr tho)
Taiga or boreal forest
67
What is the precipitation of northern Coniferous Forests
lots of precipitation
68
what are the seasons of coniferous Forests

70
what is the coldest terrestrial biome
tundra
71
What is the precipitation of Tundras
super low
72
Tundra has ____ and ____
permafrost; lichens
73
Permafrost
low layer of ice in soil, which remains all year long
74
lichens
two organisms that are often mistaken as one because of their strong symbiotic relationship

a photosynthetic organisms and fungus
76
Are there many different types of lichens
yes
77
symbiotic relationship
relationship between organisms where one organism benefits from the association while not harming the other
78
organisms in tundra
grasses and shrubs
79
ecology
the study of how organisms interact with their physical environment and with each other
80
biotic factors
living factors
81
abiotic factor
not living factors
82
biomes are determined by their what
climax community
83
climax community
a stable community of plants, animals, and fungi that has reached a steady state in a given climate and geography that the other organisms also rely on
84
climate
average meteorigal conditions in a given environment
85
weather
time specific meteorigical condition
86
examples of things that are included in climate
precipitation and temperature
87
Ecotone
the blend of Bio,es in a biome map before the biome changes to a different biome --> its there bc there isn't a sudden change between biomes
88
disturbance
natural or man made diststers hat change the makeup of an ecosystem
89
disturbances are always bad true or false
false bc they can be good or bad depending on how they effect the environment and the organisms in them
90
way to remember tropical forest
they're the warmest and the wettest ;)
91
way to remember deserts
they're lava cake with ice cream
92
way to remember savanna
kion lives there
93
way to remember chaparral
goat gopping
94
way to remember northern coniferous
Christmas tree in NJ! .....
95
way to remember Temperate grassland
BRO IS THE MIDDEST BIOME YOU WILL EVER SEE
96
what types of temperate forest are there
Temperate deciduous forests and Temperate rainforests
97
temperate deciduous forests aka
temperate seasonal forestst
98
temperate deciduous forests
think NJ seasons
99
Temperate rainforests
mild winters and rain ALLLL the time
100
why do deciduous trees shed their leaves in the winter
to conserve energy bc they gonna die anyway so why try making them live
101
Desert
warm without really any rain so they're super dry
