What is WEATHER?
Day-to-day conditions in Earth’s
atmosphere, such as
“sunny and humid,” describe
Row 1, Col 1
What is RESOURCE PARTITIONING?
In Madagascar, several species of
lemur eat bamboo, but each species specializes
in one part of the bamboo—
one species eats mature bamboo stalks, one
species eats bamboo
shoots, and one species eats
leaves. This is an example of

given area” best defines
a. a community.
b. an ecosystem.
c. the biosphere.
d. a population.
1,3

b.
parasitic.
In the western United States, at the southern

described as
a. predatory.
b. parasitic.
c. symbiotic.
d. mutualistic.
1,4
d.
(birth s+ immigration) – (deaths + emigration).
The equation for determining population growth is

mixing fresh water with saltwater,
brackish ecosystems occur
which are called
a. bogs.
b. flood plains.
c. estuaries.
d. limnetic zones.

structure would you expect?
a. uniform
b. random
c. clumped
d. aging

a. predation.
b. parasitism.
c. herbivory.
d. symbiosis.
3,3
a.
primary succession.
A landslide causes part of a mountainside
to fall away, leaving bare rock. In the years
immediately following the landslide,
the area will experience
a. primary succession.
b. secondary succession.
c. tertiary succession.
d. a climax community.

of year, are called
a. coniferous.
b. succulent.
c. chaparral.
d. deciduous.
4,1
b. carrying capacity of the population.

4,4
d.
to allow maximum surface for light absorption
Why do shorter trees and plants that
make up the understory in tropical
rain forests have large, flat leaves?
a.
to shade themselves from excessive sunlight
b. to create habitat for forest insects
c.
