200 What is groups of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area? What is population?	200 What is Since foxes, coyotes, weasels and owls hunt snowshoe hares, these animals would most likely be classified as -- • decomposers • parasites • predators • producers Predator	200 What is it when population growth levels off, this is the horizontal line through this region of the graph; the largest number of individuals a given environment can support? carrying capacity	200 What is when all of the populations in an ecosystem make up a ___________? habitat	200 What is an environmental factor that is associated with or results from the activities of living organisms ("bio-" meaning "life") (examples: competition, cooperation among organisms)? biotic factor
300 What is process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water - condensation is responsible for the formation of clouds? What is evaporation.	300 Which of the following is an example of a population? All of the raccoons in a forest All of the mammals in a forest All of the raccoons in North America All of the trees in a forest All of the raccoons in a forest	300 What cause a population to grow? birthrate higher than death rate, immigration higher than emigration	300 Which Of the following, which is a nonliving feature of the environment? • fungi • bacteria • cow • sun sun	300 biome What is a large region characterized by a specific type of climate and certain types of plant and animal communities?
400 What is process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water - condensation is responsible for the formation of clouds? What is condensation.	400 What is Examples of symbiotic relationships include? cannabalism mutualism parasitism commensalism mutualism parasitism commensalism	400 What graph curve shows a J-curve population growth curve? Exponential Growth	400 What is Organisms belonging to the same species living together in the same place at the same time are a _____________. • niche • population • community • ecosystem population	400 food, water, shelter, and space What components makeup a habitat?
500 Symbiosis is a close and permanent relationship between two (2) organisms of different species. What are the 3 examples of symbiotic relationships that we discussed and define them? mutualism - both species benefit from the relationship commensalism - one organism benefits and the other is unharmed parasitism - one organism benefits and the other is harmed	500 What is an organism that feeds only on heterotrophs is a(n) carnivore autotroph omnivore primary consumer herbivore carnivore	500 What can cause a population to show this type of curve? J-curve population growth curve happens when a population experiences exponential growth and has unlimited food, water, space, and resources.	500 What is The most likely cause of an increase in Earth's temperature is • a decrease in the amount of energy from the Sun • an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases • a decrease in the atomospheric gases an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases	500 false What is true or false? A chameleon changing its colors to blend in with its surroundings is an example of habitat.
