Carrying capacity: The ________ an environment can support.

The movement of individuals out of an area.

The movement of individuals into an area.

The state where populations of plants or animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment.

________ dependent: Limiting factors that depend on population size.

Two species with identical niches can not coexist for prolonged periods of time.

The state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions- Equilibrium.

Organisms that feed on specific things and have a narrower niche.

Organisms that capture energy from sunlight through photosynthesis and provide food from inorganic compounds.

Organisms that obtain energy by feeding on both primary and secondary consumers.

One individual benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped.

One individual lives on /in another individual and causes harm.

Limiting Factors: Factors that cause ________ to decrease.

Set by the investigator; represented on the x- axis.

Organisms that feed on producers.

A role an organism plays in a community.

An organism that populates a region after a natural disaster, mass extinction, or any other event that kills off most life in the area.

Both species benefit from the relationship.

The trend that occurs when population growth increases with population size.

Both species benefit from the relationship

One individual benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped

Frogs use plants as protection and the plants are not helped or harmed

One individual lives on/in another individual and causes harm

An observation/Inference

Observation, Ask a Question, Research or use prior knowledge, hypothesis, experiment, analyze data, conclusion, report

To collect Data

Data collected that is NOT numbers (color/shape patterns, words, etc.)

Data represented by numbers and statistics
