1: What is ecology?
Ecology is the study of life
2: What is BBECPO? (Define each)
Biosphere-Wherever life is on our planet
Biome- Areas with similar climate
Ecosystem- Adding abiotic factors.
Community- Populations interacting
Population-Groups of individuals
Organism- One individual
3: What is a community?
Community is where different species interact with each other
4: What is species composition?
It is counting the amount of organisms in an area
5: What is species diversity (biodiversity)? Where is the greatest species diversity?
Species diversity is different species in one place the greatest species diversity is at the rainforest
6: Explain the example of symbiosis with Leaf Cutter Ants and the fungus and bacteria on the ant.
The ants feed plants to the fungus it then breaks down sugar and the ants use that
7: What is an exponential growth pattern? Explain.
It is when growth becomes exponential
8: What are the limiting factors to growth. Explain both density dependent and density independent factors.
Limiting factors on growth is when it limits the growth of stuff density dependent is based on size population and density independent is relates to chance.
9: What is a logistic growth pattern? Explain.
Logistic growth is when a population reaches it's carrying capacity.
10: What is the carrying capacity? Define.
Carrying capacity is when it reaches the maximum amount of organisms and it's a stable amount
11: What is an age-structure diagram (population pyramid)? How it is set-up? What does it tell you?
An age-structure diagram groups it by age It is set up by age and gender it tells us the individual growth in Angola
12: What is the shape of a population pyramid of a young population (exponential growth)?
What is the shape of a population of a stable population (logistic growth)?
The shape of a the exponential growth is a pyramid the shape of a logistic growth is a pentagon
