Term
3 symbotic relationships
Definition
mutualism,commensalism,and parasitism
Term
discribe mutualism:examples!
Definition
reationship in witch both speices benifit
examples: acaciatree and ants
Term
commensalism: examples!
Definition
one speices benifit other is uneffected
example: orchid
Term
describe parasitism:examples!
Definition
one species benifits other is harmed
example : tick
Term
why doesnt parasites kill there host?
Definition
cause its there home, and where they eat
Term

food chain
Definition
pathway of energy through ecosystem
Term
energry pyramid
Definition
shows energy loss in food chain
90% of heat is lost
# of organisms at each level decreases
5 levels
Term
kingdom archebacteria & eubacteria: list:
cellular makeup
how they acquire food
examples
diffrence bettween them
domain there in
Definition
single cellular
producers and consumers
example = bacteria
archaebacteria lives in harsh climates

archebateria - archa domain
eubacteria - bacteria domain
Term
kingdom protist:
cellular make up
how they get food
examples
domain
Definition
single cellular producer and consumer
ex- paramecium eugiena and slime mold
domain:eukaryotic
Term
kingdoms- fungi and animal
cellular make up
how they get food
examples of each
domain
Definition
multicellular, consumers
domain :eukaryotic
examples of fugi- mold mushrooms yeast
examples of animals-insects worms fish
Term
kingdom plant:
cellular makeup
how they get food
examples
domain
Definition
multicellular, producers
example- mosses flowers ferns
domain: eukaryotic
Term
numatic for 6 kingdoms
Definition
are elephants proud for plants around?
Term
explain numeric response graphs
Definition
prey density increases as predater dendity increases

prey density decreases when predater density decreases
Term
explain fuctional response graphs
Definition
as prey density increases the # of prey taken per predator will increase to a satiotionpoint

examples- fliter feeder
whale shark spondes
Term
show 3 types of graphs on a peice of paper that explain fuctional responds
Definition
