1: What is ecology?
ecology is the study of life in our planet and how they interact
2: What is BBECPO? (Define each)
Biosphere: every life
Biome: Similar climate areas
Ecosystem: Biotic and Abiotic Factors
community: populations living together
Population: Group of individuals
Organism: individual
3: What is a community?
An interacting population that changes over time
4: What is species composition?
counting the different types of species and putting it in a pie chart
5: What is species diversity (biodiversity)? Where is the greatest species diversity?
The total amount of different species, rain forests have the greatest species diversity
6: Explain the example of symbiosis with Leaf Cutter Ants and the fungus and bacteria on the ant.
The ants feed the leaves to the fungus while the fungus breaks down the cellulose and produce some type of sugar that the ants can feed on. So both have symbiotic relationship with each other
7: What is an exponential growth pattern? Explain.
A growth in a double rate of the original one
8: What are the limiting factors to growth. Explain both density dependent and density independent factors.
Limiting factors are factors that limit the growth of population, Independent density doesn't depend on the size of population while dependent does.
9: What is a logistic growth pattern? Explain.
A Pattern that shows exponential growth and carrying capacity
10: What is the carrying capacity? Define.
Maximum number of population an area can hold
11: What is an age-structure diagram (population pyramid)? How it is set-up? What does it tell you?
It's set up in a pyramid and it tells the age population of a country
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 is a pyramid while the longest represents young population
