  1. Ecology Relationship Study Guide Answers

  2. Limiting Factor- a factor that keeps a population from growing • Symbiosis- a relationship where at least one benefits • Community- a group of different populations • Mutualism- both benefit • Biosphere- all ecosystems in the world • Competition- fighting over resources • Commensalism- one benefits, one neutral • Species- a group of closely related living things

  3. Population- a group of the same organism • Carrying Capacity- the largest number of species an area can hold • Ecology- study of the interactions of organisms • Habitat- the place where an organism lives • Niche- an organism’s role in the ecosystem • Predation- predator and prey relationship • Parasitism- one benefits, one harmed • Ecosystem- all the abiotic and biotic factors in an area.

  4. Organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere • Population • Abiotic- nonliving biotic- living • Sun, water, oxygen, soil • Food, water, space, weather • Predator- hunter (lion) Prey- eaten (zebra) • Mimicry- copies another organism (milk snake copies the coral snake). Camouflage- blends in with the environment (praying mantis looks like the leaf)

  5. Parasite- the one getting benefits (tick), host- the one being harmed (dog) • Human-host, tapeworm-parasite • Competition • Food, water, space, mates • Commensalism • Mutualism • Parasitism

  6. Habitat- where it lives, niche- its role (where it lives, when it eats, what it eats) • Parasitism • Mutualism • Commensalism • Camouflage • Mimicry • Predation

  7. Wolves decrease • Fox and wolf • Toad • Mice • Skunks will increase
