What is the term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a biological community?

What is not a form of symbiosis?

Study of interactions between organisms and their environment

Members of a species in a defined area

Where an organism lives

Non-living factor that affects an ecosystem

Living factor that affects an ecosystem

Organisms that breaks down and absorbs nutrients from dead organisms

Consumer that eats plants

In the energy pyramid here, how much of the energy in the producers gets passed to the herbivores?

In the food web shown, the snail would be considered...

An organism that eats both animals and plants

symbiotic relationship in which one organisms benefits and the other organism is not affected

a relationship between two in which one species, the predator, feeds on the other species, the prey

What form of symbiosis is this?

What's the greatest benefit to having strong biodiversity?

Competition is when two organisms need the same ...

Spider monkeys live in a biome with many trees. They move around by swinging from tree to tree. Spider monkeys do not build a nest or take shelter in a cave. Instead, they sleep high up in a tree on a wide branch. Spider monkeys mostly eat fruits and nuts. What type of biome do spider monkeys most likely live in?

A biologist is studying a biome that has very cold temperatures. A layer of this biome's soil stays frozen year-round. What biome is the biologist most likely studying?

Process of water seeping into the ground.

An error in the coding if an allele

This biome has high temperatures more than 450 cm of precipitation a year

All the individuals of a species that live in the same place at the same time

When water falls to the ground as snow or rain

In this symbiotic relationship, both organisms benefit

When carbon is released into the air or water by burning

The variety of living things in a community or ecosystem

The movement of alleles into and out of a population

The comparison of the number of organisms entering a population to those exiting the population

Bogs, swamps and marshes are examples of this freshwater community

Type of evaporation that happens when water is evaporated from plant leaves

What we call a biological community that occurs over a large area of land

Type of consumer that takes waste and dead animals and turns them into nutrients

Hypothetical population that attempts to exhibit the characteristics of a real one

When allele frequency changes quickly due to a chance event

Path of energy through the trophic levels

When an organism chooses a mate based on certain characteristics

Refers to the dominant weather conditions of a specific area

Biome with warm weather, low precipitation, that is mostly open land and scattered trees

The way individuals of a population are arranged geographically

known as the frozen desert, this biome exists between the taiga and the permanent ice around the North Pole

The first species to live in a new habitat where soil is present

The entire range of resource opportunities that an organism is potentially able to occupy.

The elimination of a competing species is called

Traits that are influenced by several alleles are called

The ______________________________ are small in area and contains most of the ocean’s species, including the intertidal zone, and is home to many marine invertebrates and coral

An organism’s _____________________________ is the part of its fundamental niche that it actually occupies.

An __________________________ is made up of a community and all the physical aspects of its habitat.

Biome that is full of conifer trees, located below the tundra

deepest part of a freshwater body

Biome where very little rainfall and mostly warm temperatures. Temperature can fluctuate drastically over the course of a day.
