The separation of an
organism’s habitat such that
the species or population is
kept separate
What is
Habitat Fragmentation?
It is an example of a “natural
cause” of habitat
fragmentation
What is
a Volcanic Eruption, a Flood,
or
a Fire caused by
a Lightning Strike?
The term to describe too
many organisms becoming
overcrowded in small patches
of territory
What is
Crowding of the Arc?
3,000
What is
the number of invasive
species in Canada?
A non-native species whose
intentional or accidental
introduction negatively
impacts the natural
environment
What is
an Invasive Species?
Abiotic conditions within
which a species can survive
What is
Tolerance Range?
Non-living factors in the
ecosystem such as
temperature, pH, sunlight
availability and wind direction
What is
an Abiotic Factor?
Damming rivers and draining
wetlands can change the
availability of this abiotic
factor
What is Water?
An organism living in a
desert would likely have to be
adapted to this hot abiotic
factor
What is Temperature?
The needle on a cactus help
reduce water loss from the
plant. This evolutionary
adaptation offsets this
abiotic factor present in
deserts that would increase
water loss.
What is Wind?
Canada’s largest terrestrial
biome
What is
the Boreal Forest?
Large geographical region
defined by climate (e.g.,
precipitation, temperature)
with a specific set of biotic
and abiotic features
What is a Biome?
Canada’s biome with little
precipitation, extreme cold
temperatures and small
plants.
What is Tundra?
Canada has this type of
rainforest biome on the
west coast
What is
Temperate Rainforest?
Biome characterized by low
precipitation, large range of
temperatures (hot and cold)
and few trees
What is Grasslands?
Frogs require a wet habitat to
survive. If conditions are too
wet or too dry, frog
populations decrease.
What is
Tolerance Range?
The zone of the atmosphere
where life occurs
What is Troposphere?
A healthy savannah contains
a mix of zebra, giraffe,
wildebeest, hyena, lion,
gazelle and other animals.
What is Biodiversity?
A complex biotic
community characterized by
distinctive plant and animal
species and maintained under
the climatic conditions of the
region
What is a Biome?
Pigs happily eat worms
or apples.
What is an Omnivore?
Ingestion, inhalation and
diffusion are the
processes that
contaminants enter your
body
What is Bioaccumulation?
A process in which chemical
substances become more
concentrated at each
higher trophic level. Such
chemical substances tend
to be difficult to be
removed from animal and
plant tissues.
What is Biomagnification?
What is
Biomagnification?
Excessive aquatic plant
growth
What is
Hyper-eutrophication?
The accumulation of a
chemical in the tissues of
an organism as a result of
direct exposure to the
surrounding medium.
NOTE: it does not include
food web transfer.
What is
Bioconcentration?
