Primer Pheromones
Population?
Organisms same species living together
Community
Different populations (plant, animal) interacting in given environment.
Ecosystem
Includes communities and environment (abiotic, biotic)
Biosphere
portions of planet that support life (atmosphere, litho-, hydro-)
Factors of Substratum (in soil)
PH, Loams (mixed soil), Minerals, Humus (amount of decay), texture
Niche
Functional role of organism, no two species can ever have same niche
Symbiosis Types?
obligatory, commensalism, Mutualism, Parasitism
One or both organisms cannot survive without the other.
Obligatory Symbiosis
Benefit and Not affected? (Remora & Shark)
Commensalism (barnacle, whale)
Both organisms derive benefit (Rino Bird)
Mutualism
One organism benefits at expense of other
Parasitism
Carnivores and Herbivores (feed on other living)
Predators
Decompose (Fungi, Protists)
Saprophytes
Relations between species (Competitive, cohesive forces)
