What is a community?
All of the populations of different species
A group of organisms of the same species.
All of the ecosystems that are found on Earth
A group of people living in the same general area
What is the biosphere?
An eco-friendly sphere
Earth
Mars
The community and all the abiotic factors such as the environment
What is population density?
How the organisms in a population are spread out
The number of organisms in an entire population
The change in population over a certain period of time
The number of organisms in a given area
How are different communities compared? (choose all that apply)

What is secondary succession?
A previously uninhabited environment is colonized by organisms for the first time.
An environment that was previously inhabited is disrupted by a disaster, and then recolonized.
Land is colonized by people
Pirates arrive at an island that has never been lived on before
What are autotrophs?
Organisms that gain energy from consuming other organisms
Organisms that are on the top of the food chain
Organisms which can create their own energy
Organisms that eat plants
What is an abiotic factor?
Any non-living component that shapes its environment
Trees
Any living organism that shapes its environment
Organisms
What is an ecological niche?
A hole in the wall
All of the abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem
A hole in the ground
The ecological role of a species and all the biotic and abiotic factors that affect it
What is an example of a biotic factor?
The sunlight that will blind you if you look at its source (please don't look at the sun)
The soil which you could stand on if you go outside
The turtle by the lake that doesn't really do much

What is interspecies competition?
When two or more species compete for the same resources
A commensalistic relationship between two species
When two species compete to see who is the fastest

What is the difference between interspecific and intraspecific competition?
Intraspecific is between different species, interspecific is between the same species
Interspecific is for autotrophs, intraspecific is for heterotrophs
Interspecific is between different species, intraspecific is between the same species
Intraspecific is for biotic factors, interspecific is for abiotic factors
What is the competitive exclusion principle?
Predators will always exclude prey from any competitions
No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time
Two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time
Geese will destroy anything and everything in their path
What is a food chain?
A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains
ur mom
A triangular model that shows the loss of energy from one trophic level to another
A simple series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy.
What is a food web?
A simple series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy.
A triangular model that shows the loss of energy from one trophic level to another
A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains
A spiderweb full of flies
What is an energy pyramid?
A pyramid that you climb to reach the sandwich at the top
A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains
A triangular model that shows the loss of energy from one trophic level to another
A simple series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy.
What is a behavioral adaptation?
Physical features of an organism that help it survive.
Processes inside an organism's body that increases its chance of survival.
A change in the mood of an organism
The way an organism acts or behaves to stay alive.
What is a physiological adaptation?
The way an organism acts or behaves to stay alive.
Processes inside an organism's body that increases its chance of survival.

Physical features of an organism that help it survive.
What is a structural adaptation?
The way an organism acts or behaves to stay alive.
Physical features of an organism that help it survive.
A structure that organisms create for shelter.
Processes inside an organism's body that increases its chance of survival.
What is mutualism?
When two organisms provide benefits to each other.
When one organism benefits from another, while the other is harmed or suffers a consequence.
When one organism benefits from another, while the other is unaffected.
When two organisms are emotionally manipulating each other
What is commensalism?
When one organism benefits from another, while the other is harmed or suffers a consequence
When two organisms provide benefits to each other.
When two organisms share something in common
When one organism benefits from another, while the other is unaffected
What is parasitism?
The long-term interactions between two organisms
When one organism benefits from another, while the other is harmed or suffers a consequence
When two organisms provide benefits to each other.
When one organism benefits from another, while the other is unaffected
What is homeostasis?
When an organism’s surrounding environment is able to maintain a state of equilibrium
When an organism’s surrounding environment changes based on the organism internal environment
When an organism's internal environment is able to maintain a state of equilibrium
When an organism’s internal environment changes based on the surrounding environment
How is carbon dioxide released back into the atmosphere?
