26
Symbiosis?
Living together.
27
Competition?
It occurs when two or more species or after the same resources that form part of each species niche.
28
Mutualism?
Is the most harmonious and friendly.
29
Where does the creature naturally live?
habitat
30
Parasitism?
One benefits the other is harmed
31
Ectoparasites versus endoparasites?
Endo parasites live within and feed on their hosts tissue. Ectoparasites are parasites that reside on the outside of their hosts.
32
What is an actually to find area comprised of all the living and all the nonliving factors of that environment?
Ecosystem
33
Interspecific versus intraspecific competition?
Interspecific is fighting between animals outside of species. Intraspecific is competition that occurs between individuals of the same species.
34
Caring capacity?
The maximum number of individuals that a particular environment can sustain.
35
What is it called when animals of the same species are fighting?
Intraspecific competition
38
What refers to the physical nonliving portion of the ecosystem?
Abiotic factors
40
Which parasite lives within and feeds on their hosts tissue?
Endo parasite
41
Trophic levels?
Levels in ecosystem with organisms that share the same function and save nutritional relationship to primary source. Different levels of producers and consumers.
41
What specific competition is it called when animals outside of each other species are fighting over something?
Interspecific competition
42
Food web?
The familiar concept of energy flow through a community.
43
Omnivore? Versus carnivore?
Omnivores eat consumers and producers. Carnivores eat only consumers.
44
Mats?
Large communities of microbes growing together in layers of organic slime.
45
Community?
It consists of all the populations in a given area.
46
How does geology impact biology?
Animal habitats may change. Trees my die or grow. Plants can come back to life. Temperatures can drastically change to kill bacteria. Poison can live in the water. Microbes and bacteria can grow at different temperatures.
47
Decomposers?
Fungi that consumes the dead by the process of decay.
47
What is one side that has benefited and the other side is neither benefited nor harmed?
Commensalism
48
What is the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria is very important in the nitrogen cycle to help change things so that it works.
49
Scavengers?
Animals that consume large chunks of dead plants or carrion.
50
What does it mean when it says living together?
Symbiosis
51
4 common shapes of bacteria?
Coccus: spherical Spirillium: corkscrew shaped Bacillus: rod shaped Spirochaete: tightly coiled
51
Producer?
Plants or algae because they are the original source of food production in any food chain or web. chemotropic and autotrophic
52
What is composed of all members of the same species at the same place and at the same time?
Population
53
Herbivore?
Animals that only consume .producers.
53
What is the familiar concept of energy flow through community?
Food web
54
What refers to the living portion of the ecosystem?
Biotic factors
56
What is the word that resolves the maximum number of individuals that a particular environment can sustain
Carrying capacity
57
Consumer?
It has to have something else give it energy It can't produce it on its own. Heterotrophic.
60
Which parasite resides on the outside of their hosts?

What is it when two or more species are after the same resources that form part of each species niche
Competition
64
Abiotic factors?
It refers to the physical, nonliving portion of the ecosystem.
