Q

test bio

  1. Explain the difference between niche and habitat.
A

Habitat, environment where an organism lives. Niche, how an organism lives

18
Q

test bio

  1. What does the competitive exclusion principle state?
A

if the two organisms compete for the same limited resources one will be pushed out made extinct.

19
Q

test bio

  1. What are ecological equivalents?
A

to organisms that live in similar habitats far away from each other.

20
Q

test bio

  1. Define competition.
A

Two organisms fight for a limited resource.

21
Q

test bio

  1. Explain the difference between intraspecific competition and interspecific competition.
A

Intraspecific, two of the same species compete. Interspecific, to use different species compete.

22
Q

test bio

  1. Define predation.
A

An organism captures or eats another organism.

23
Q

test bio

  1. Define symbiosis.
A

A close relationship between two or more different organisms.

24
Q

test bio

  1. What are the 3 types of symbiosis? Explain each.
25
Q

test bio

  1. How do you calculate population density?
A

number of individuals/area square

26
# test bio 25. Describe the 3 dispersion patterns and what causes each.
uniform, evenly distributed. Clumped,? Of animals. Random, no order, no specific place.
27
# test bio 26. What is this survivorship curve? ![]() | (Humans/large mamals)
Type 1
28
# test bio 27. Explain the difference between immigration and emigration.
Immigration, movement into an environment. Emigration, out of an environment.
29
# test bio 28. Explain the difference between logistic growth and exponential growth. Draw a graph for each.
?
30
# test bio 29. What is carrying capacity?
Number of individuals environment can support.
31
# test bio 30. What is a limiting factor?
Factor that limits population growth.
32
# test bio 31. Explain the difference between density-dependent limiting factors and density-independent limiting factors. Give 2 examples of each.
Density dependent.A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size.
33
# test bio 32. What is succession?
Sequence of biotic changes that regenerate a damaged community in a previously uninhabited area.
34
# test bio 33. Explain the difference between primary and secondary succession.
Primary succession begins in areas where no soil is present. Secondary succession occurs in areas where there is soil already present.
