t consumer
at the top of pyramid
energy pyramid
model used to display the consumers
Many similar ecosystems within a large area
Biomass
Tropic level
used in naming any level on the pyramid
cell resperation
occurs in non plats reactants are opposite
photosynthesis
Process of plants making energy
lots of species in small area
population high density
less species in a area
population low deensity
starvation, diseases predation
density dependent Factor
natural phenonmnas
density Independent Factor
how a population is organized or clumped
Population distribution
change in number of individuals over time
Growth rate
under ideal conditions J shaped
Experiential growth
resources shared NOT ENDLESS S shaped
limited growth
number of organisms an environment can carry or hold
Carrying capacity
