Chapter 1 Vocabulary Review
The behavioral and physical characteristics of a species that allow them to live successfully in their environment.
Adaptation
An interaction in which one organism kills and eats another organism
Predation
A close relationship between two species that benefits at least one of the species.
Symbiosis
The organism that benefits in parasitism
Parasite
Moving into a population
Immigration
A relationship in which both species benefit
Mutualism
The process in which organism make their own food using water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis
The organism that is harmed in parasitism
Host
An approximation of a number, based on reasonable assumptions.
Estimate
The organism that does the killing
Predator
The series of changes that occur in an area where the ecosystem has been disturbed, but where soil and organisms still exist.
Secondary Succession
Living parts of an ecosystem
Biotic factors
The series of predictable changes that occur in a community over time
Succession
The number of births in a population in a certain amount of time.
Birth rate
A group of organisms that are physically similar and can mate with each other and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce.
Species
The first species to populate the area
Pioneer species
Moving out of a population
Emigration
A relationship in which one species benefits and the other is unaffected.
Commensalism
The number of individuals in a specific area
Population density
Series of changes that occur in an area where no soil or organisms exist
Primary Succession
The struggle between organisms to survive as they attempt to use the same limited resource.
Competition
A relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed.
Parasitism
All the different populations living together in an area
Community
An organism’s particular role in its habitat, or how it makes a living
Niche
A method used to determine population size using the following formula:Total population =
(number of total individuals captured X number of originally marked ) Total number of individuals recaptured with mark
Mark and Recapture
An environmental factor that prevents a population from increasing
Limiting factor
The organism that is killed
Prey
Counting every organism that you see to determine population size
Direct observation
The process by which characteristics that make an organism better suited for their environment become more common in that species.
Natural Selection
The place where an organism lives and that provides the things the organism needs to survive.
Habitat
Counting signs of an organism to determine population size
Indirect observation
Counting the number of individuals in a small area and then multiplying to find the number ina larger area
Sampling
All living things
Organisms
The study of how living things interact with each other and with their environment.
Ecology
The largest population that an environment can support
Carrying capacity
All the members of one species in a particular area
Population
Nonliving parts of an ecosystem
Abiotic factors
The levels of ecological organization from smallest to largest.
Organism, population, community, ecosystem
100 meters wide X 50 meters = ??
Pretend Oyster Bed……..
There are 20 oysters per square meter, so how many oysters would be in an area this size?
The Great Oyster Sampling….
•First find the area of the PRETEND OYSTER bed….
•100 meters X 50 meters = 5,000 meters squared
•Then multiply your SAMPLE SIZE by your AREA SIZE….
•5,000 meters squared X 20 oysters per square meter = 100,000 oysters!!
