Abiotic Factor

• NON-LIVING environmental factors such as wind, heat, light and soil, sunlight, temperature, water

Biotic Factor

• LIVING ORGANISMS that interact with other living organisms in an ecosystem (e.g., organisms compete for resources, predators and prey)

Page 6: Ecology Monday March 27, 2011. Website to help you study biology term

Biodiversity

• The VARIETY of different species in an area

Page 7: Ecology Monday March 27, 2011. Website to help you study biology term

Biogeography

• Study of the distribution of plants and animals

Carnivore

• Organisms that eats MEAT

Community

• All the populations of DIFFERENT organisms in an area

Ecosystems

• A term used to describe the relationship between many species living together in an environment

• Simply, straight-line chain that shows the flow of energy from the primary producers to the top predator

Food Web

• All food chains connected to show all relationships between organisms

• Organism that cannot make its own food; rather it consumes the Producer.

Page 20: Ecology Monday March 27, 2011. Website to help you study biology term

• Is capable of making its own energy (e.g., tree, grass)
