Study of interactions of living
organisms with one another and
with their physical environment
1
Ecology
2
place where a particular
population of a species lives
3
Habitat
4
all the members of one species
in a particular area.
5
population
6
the community of organisms
that live in an area along with
their non-living surroundings.
7
ecosystem
8
the number of species in a
specific area
9
population density
10
a factor in the environment
that causes the population to
decrease or go down. i.e. food
and water, living space,
weather
11
limiting factor
12
the many different species that
live together in a habitat
13
Community
14
major biological community
that occurs over a large area of
land
15
Biome
16
the physical aspects of a
habitat
17
Abiotic
18
the living organisms of a
habitat
19
Biotic
20
number of species living
within an ecosystem
21
Biodiversity
22
two or more species
live together
in a close, long-term relationship
23
Symbiosis
24
one organism feeds on and
usually lives on or in another,
does not usually kill the host
(ticks)
25
Parasitism
26
a symbiotic relationship in which
both species benefit (ants and
aphids)
27
Mutualism
28
one species benefits and the
other is neither harmed nor
helped
29
Commensalism
30
the act of one organism
feeding on another
31
Predation
32
the struggle for survival
between living things for the
limited resources.
33
competition
34
an animal that hunts and eats
other animals; i.e. lions are the
predators of zebras
35
predator
36
an animal that is hunted or
eaten by other animals; i.e.
mice are the prey of cats
37
prey
38
a change in the body or
behavior of a species making
it easier to survive. i.e.
poisonous jellyfish,
camouflage bugs, protective
shell, etc.)
39
adaptation
