  1. What is ecology?

  2. The study of how organisms interact with each other and how they interact with their environment.

  3. What is a group of communities with similar abiotic and biotic conditions?

  4. Habitat

  5. A group of a same species that may/may not interact with each other?

  6. Populations

  7. What is the order of ecology?

  8. Organism | Species | Populations  | Community | Habitat | Ecosystem | Biomes | Biosphere

  9. What is called when we encounter non- living things?

  10. Abiotic Factors

  11. What is a species?

  12. A group of the same type of organism that lives in the same place/ time • It’s capable of reproducing and producing fertile young

  13. What is the smallest unit of study that ecologists concern themselves with?

  14. Individual organisms

  15. What is ecosystem?

  16. It is many habitats in a generalized area.

  17. What is it called when all the places on Earth are the survival of living things?

  18. Biosphere

  19. What are communities?

  20. Groups of populations that interact with each other at any given day or time • Also interact with abiotic (non-living) parts of the community.

  21. What are Saprobes?

  22. Decomposers • Microscopic organisms • Helps get rid of all remaining materials when things die

  23. Similar to Saprobes?

  24. Decomposers

  25. An organism that makes it own food?

  26. Autotroph (photosynthesis)

  27. An organism that only eat plants?

  28. Herbivore

  29. An organism that eats both plants and meat?

  30. Omnivore

  31. Organism that eat other dead organisms?

  32. Scavenger

  33. An organism that only eat meat?

  34. Carnivore

  35. An organism that obtains its nutrients from other organisms?

  36. Heterotroph

  37. Food Pyramid Vs. Food Web

  38. Food pyramid: much like a chain with a specific order •  Food web: much more complicated with different paths being followed

  39. Producers: First Tropic Level?

  40. Autotrophs • Get their energy from the sun

  41. Primary Consumers: Second Tropic Level?

  42. First Consumers • 90% of energy is lost per level as you move up the pyramid

  43. Secondary Consumers: Third Tropic Level?

  44. Second level consumers • 10% of energy is left over for those organism to use

  45. Tertiary Consumers: Fourth Tropic Level?

  46. Third level consumers • 1% of energy is left for those organism to use

  47. Quandary Consumer: Fifth Tropic Level?

  48. Very little energy at this level • Usually its rare to be at this level

  49. The flow of energy in a tropic level?

  50. Moves from the lowest level to the highest level • 90% of the energy is used up at each level in order for the organism to properly function • The original energy comes from the sun.
