|---|
| succession | gradual proccess were one community replaces another. |
| biotic | with life |
| abiotic | without life |
| niche | natural job, role to play in the ecosystem |
| habitat | place organism lives |
| what makes up biomes? | plants,altitudes,climate,wether,predators,animals,everything effects everything |
| adaptations | adjusting to climate,using camaflage and so on. |
| behavior | conduct of the organism |
| biomes | regions in the world w/ similar physical enviroments, similar to vegitation |
| succulents | other plants, or shrubs |
| interidal or littoral zones | shallow zone where land meets water |
| neritic zone | 2nd zone beyond the littoral zone |
| oceanic zone | past shelf-3rd zone-open ocean |
| pelagic zone | open water not associated with sea floor |
| benthic zone | sea floor |
| abyssal zone | area of benthic zone where light does not penitrate. |
| trophic structure | energy pyramid-determimned by the method in which organisms in the ecosystem obtain their energy. |
| predator | predator/prey-can't both be benifited |
| symbiosis | each benifit-winwin situation-2 organisms work together. |
| paratism | 1 benifit/1 dosen't (parasite/host)-take off one but doesen't kill. |
| animal societies | presence in population of leaders, followers, workers and so on)-evidence of organized and usually cooperative. |
| caste system | idividual doing it's job |
| dominance hierarchies | levels in society where individuals fit |
| pheromone | chemical substance, responce to attract animals to their mate. |
| succesful | when reaction to enviroment helps it to survive. |
| innate | in born-not dependent on experience |
| fixed action patterns | innate charectoristics of species |
| instinct | complex-innate behavior |
| learned behavior | needs experience |
| habituation | organism exposed to astimulus over and over again-gets used to blocks out |
| conditioning | patterns of innate behavior change |
| imprinting | has a sensitive period...predetermined, requires lil or no practice(fly away home) |
| pavlov | russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov-investgated conditioning (dog+meat powder) |
| la monte system | dissolved oxygen kit |
| population | organisms of a single species that live at the same time in the same area. |
| commensalisms | 1 benifited 1 neither hamed nor benifited. |
| climax community | stable self-perpetuating community established by succession and concidered semipermanent:til destroyed. |
| food chain | the transfer of food from one trophic level to another, begining with producers |
| food web | in an ecosystem taken collectively, showing partial overlapping and competiton for many food organisms. |
| mutilism | together neither get harmed or effected |
| never's park biome? | many biomes under logs, rock, leaves, so on |
| what are chemicl cycles? | nitrogen-amino acids (buliding blocks of protein), carbon-photosynthesis and cellular respiration, oxygen-water |
