NAME: _________________________________________ Mrs. Holdcroft ECOLOGY: Vocabulary Questions: Please type answers and hand in to BE GRADED AS A TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. For Abiotic and Biotic: List possible Abiotic and Biotic factors that you may find in a fish tank. 2. For Population, community, ecosystems, biomes, and biosphere: Use a Frog in explaining each example. 3. For Limiting factors and carrying capacity: How do Limiting factors affect Carrying Capacity? 4. Biodiversity: Why is having more Biodiversity in an Ecosystem more beneficial to the stability of that Ecosystem? 5. For Consumers, decomposers, producers, food chains, food webs, and energy flow through a community: Why are decomposers necessary? What is the difference between consumers and producers? What is the difference between food chains and webs? What do the arrows in a food chain or food web represent? 6. For Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, and symbiosis: Give example of each relationship using organisms and tell which benefits and which if any are harmed or unaffected. 7. For Material cycles: Oxygen/ Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, and Water cycle: Tell how each plays a role in Ecosystem stability. 8. For Foreign species introduction, habitat, and niche: How would introduction of foreign species affect an organisms habitat and niche? 9. For Primary Succession and Secondary Succession: Explain Re-growth of a forest using appropriate term. 10. For Competition, Herbivores, omnivores, carnivores: Are these Autotrophs or Heterotrophs? Explain competition using one kind of organism. 11. For Pioneer organisms, climax community, ecological succession, tundra, taiga, temperate-deciduous forest, tropical rain forest, grasslands, desert: Pick a Biome and Explain terms using that Biome as an example. 12. For overhunting, exploitation of wildlife, and importation of exotic organisms: Explain how each decreases biodiversity and why this would be detrimental to an ecosystem. 13. Biological Magnification: Explain using DDT as an example. 14. For Pollutants, heat pollution, sewage pollution, PCB’s, air pollution, Biocide use: Explain how each affects an Ecosystem and state one way to help stop/ reduce each.
