Population I Population II Ecological Succession Ecological Relationships Misc. 100 100 100 100 100 200 200 200 200 200 300 300 300 300 300 400 400 400 400 400 500 500 500 500 500 Population I Name one way a population can grow. More births than deaths; immigration Population I: 200 Provide two examples of a limiting factor Predation, disease, natural disaster, deforestation, etc. Population I: 300 Which of the following letters would most likely represent exponential growth? J or S “J” Population I: 400 What is meant by carrying capacity? The maximum number of individuals that an environment can support Population I: 500 Explain exponential growth. Exponential growth refers to growth of a population at a constant rate; only under ideal conditions Population II: 100 Name and spell the term used to describe the movement of individuals into an area. Immigration Population II: 200 The number of organisms per unit area is referred to as the ___________ ____________. Population Density Population II: 300 Can a population have a negative growth rate? Why or why not? yes…a population can have more deaths than births Population II: 400 List and describe two of the three three types of geographic distribution 1. Random- no order 2. Clumped- grouped 3. Uniform- orderly; a pattern; evenly dispersed Population II: 500 Is disease density-dependent or independent? Why? Density-dependent; disease will only become limiting when the population is large and dense Succession: 100 Would you expect primary or secondary succession to begin following the event in the above image? Primary Succession: 200 Secondary succession differs from primary succession in that ______ is still present following a disturbance. SOIL Succession: 300 The end product of ecological succession in which a stable group of plants and animals are present is called the ________ _______________. Climax Community Succession: 400 Name an event that may mark the beginning of the process of secondary succession. Natural Disaster; deforestation Succession: 500 What is a pioneer species? A pioneer species is the first species to move into or populate an area. For example: lichen or algae Pioneer species are responsible for beginning the process of soil creation. Ecological Relationships: 100 A lion capturing and feeding on a gazelle is an example of this type of ecological relationship. Predator/Prey Ecol. Relationships: 200 _______________ is used to describe the relationship between two organisms fighting over the same resources (e.g. food or shelter) Competition Eco. Relationships: 300 This photo of a tick attached to and surviving off of the blood of a dog is an example of this type of ecological relationship. Parasitism Ecol. Relationships: 400 Category 4 – 40 Points This is the type of relationship in which both organisms benefit from one another. Mutualism Ecological Relationships: 500 The type of relationship in which one organism is benefitted while the other organism is neither helped nor harmed. Commensalism Miscellaneous: 100 Do limiting factors cause an increase or decrease in population size? Decrease Miscellaneous: 200 Does the following population curve show exponential or logistic growth? Logistic Miscellaneous: 300 Name two events that would expose bare rock marking the beginning of primary succession. Volcanic eruption; Glacial melting Miscellaneous: 400 Describe what is meant by a density-independent limiting factor. Provide an example. These factors are limiting to the population regardless of its size; weather cycles, natural disasters, human interference Miscellaneous: 500 Provide an example of a symbiotic relationship. Describe the role of each organism in the relationship and tell whether it is an example of mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism. Mutualism: Both organisms benefit Commensalism: One benefits, one unaffected Parasitism: One helped, one harmed Final Jeopardy “The Lonliest Animals” What was the significance of the gate (within the pond) that separated the male and female rafetus turtles?
