CHONPS
All other elements found in small elements are called “trace elements”
Asexual reproduction-performed without the input of two parents
sexual reproduction- requires dna input from two parents
The process by which cells make ATP from food is called cellular respiration and takes place in the mitochondria.
the process by which food is made in plants is photosynthesis
The process in which living things grow in mitosis.
Living things reproduce sexually by meiosis.
Living things trying to maintain a biological balance is homeostasis.
There are 6 kingdoms
Keystone species: a species on which other species depend on
Interspecific interactions:
Niche: an animal's place in the world
interspecific competition- will always result in a winner and loser ( these requirements are called limiting factors)
5 adaptations of tough prey:
producing chemical toxins Adaptations for good predators:
Batesian mimicry: harmless prey species mimics a prey species w/ defense mechanism
Mullerian mimicry: various species, all with defense mechanisms, mimic each other
Interspecific Interactions:
Energy flows in one direction
nutrients flow in a cycle
energy is passed in 10%
Food chain: shows how matter and energy flows from producers to consumers to decomposers
Food web: overlapping food chains result in a more complex diagram
Producers
5 types of consumers on earth:
herbivores: feed on plants
carnivores: consumers that eat other consumers
omnivores: eat both plants and animals
decomposers: bacteria or fungus, that breaks down cells of dead plants
scavengers: organisms that seek out dead animals and feed on them
Trophic levels
Ecosystem: All living things are impacted by the living and nonliving components of their environment
Biomagnification: just as energy flows through a community of organisms, so can toxins
Abiotic factors: Non living chemical and physical factors
biotic factors: living factors, all other organisms in an environment
Biomes:
temperate deciduous forests Two Graph Types:
logistic ( has a carrying capacity) Density independent factors:
Density dependent limiting factors:
Primary succession: when a new patch of land is exposed for the first time and organisms start growing
Secondary succession: when an area that was inhabited had a disaster happen and now new growth happens
