The study of the interaction of
living organisms with eachother
and with their physical
environment
ECOLOGY
The physical location in which a
given species lives
HABITAT
These organisms eat both
producers and consumers
OMNIVORES
A group of organisms of different
species living together in a
particular place
COMMUNITY
The percentage of energy moving
from one trophic level to the next
10%
Precipitation, evaporation &
transpiration are all processes in
this cycle
WATER
Nitrogen fixation is primarily
carried out by these types of
organisms
BACTERIA
A symbiotic relationship where
one member benefits and the
other is harmed
PARASITISM
Something that controls the
growth or size of a population
LIMITING FACTOR
Draw an exponential growth
curve
See picture
The measure of the human impact on
the biosphere
ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
The number of different species
in the biosphere or in a particular
area
SPECIES DIVERSITY
Overgrazing, climate change,
drought can cause this in
farmlands
DESERTIFICATION
An natural phenomenon that
helps to regulate the Earth’s
temperature.
GREENHOUSE EFFECT
The release of these into the
atmosphere contribute to holes in
the ozone layer
CFC’S
Universal system of naming living
things
BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
Three domains of living things
BACTERIA, ARCHAEA,
EUKARYA
Correct order of hierarchy from
most inclusive to least inclusive
KINGDOM  PHYLUM 
CLASS  ORDER  FAMILY
 GENUS  SPECIES
In the scientific name Felis
domesticus, which word signifies
the genus of the cat?
Felis
The two domains of only
unicellular prokaryotes are
ARCHAEA & BACTERIA
Fungi have cell walls made of
this
CHITIN
What do animals, plants, protists
& fungi have in common?
ALL EUKARYOTES
Give one example of a renewable
resource
WATER, FEW TREES, WIND
When we burn fossil fuels and
destroy vegetation, we are
affecting which cycle?
CARBON CYCLE
All organisms in an ecosystem
are linked together in a network
of interactions. This quality is
called
INTERDEPENDENCE
