What is divergent evolution?

Front

Related species adapted to different environments

Back

What is community?

Front

What is keystone species?

Front

A species that is critical to an ecosystem survival

Back

What is biosphere?

Front

Regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere or the earth occupied by living things

Back

Why is it important to study the levels of organization?

Front

Because each level exhibits properties that may not exist at lower levels

Back

What is the main difference between primary and secondary succession?

Front

Soil formation: primary succession doesn't have pre existing soil and nutrients

Back

What is natural selection?

Front

Characteristics (traits) that enhance survival and reproduction of an organism

Front

Filters, flood control, and habitats for organisms

Back

What is population?

Front

All of the inhabitants of a particular town or town at a given time

Back

What is adaptation?

Front

Over time characteristics that lead to better reproductive success becomes more prevalent in population

Back

What is coevolution?

Front

2 different species evolve at the same time

Back

What is pesticide resistance and what role does it play in natural selection

Front

Organism change over time to resist a pesticide. They select the gene that can help the organism survive

Back

What is ecosystem?

Front

A biological community of a interacting organisms and their physical environment (abiotic factors)

Back

What are the ecological levels in order?

Front

Species(organism), population, community, ecosystem, biosphere

Back

What is the definition of succession?

Front

The process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time

Back

What is the littoral zone?

Front

The top layer of an aquatic system that receives the sun

Back

What two factors that causes variation in Biomes and vegetation?

Front

Latitude and altitude

Back

What is a niche?

Front

The role or position of an organism in an ecosystem

Back

What is the benthic zone?

Front

The bottom layer of an aquatic system that receives no sun

Back
