COMBINATION FOR BIO 151 COMPLETE STUDY
GUIDE WITH SOLVED PROBLEM SETS
◉ evolutionary adaptation.
Answer: what is the central concept in autecology
genetically determined characteristic that improves an organism's
ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment
◉ acclimatize.
Answer: to get used to a new environment, may it be through
morphological and physiological means
◉ habitat.
Answer: where the organism lives
◉ population ecology.
Answer: second scope of ecology
examines interactions that occur between a population and its
environment
,◉ population.
Answer: group of individuals belonging to one species inhabiting a
particular place at the same time.
◉ K or carrying capacity.
Answer: an equilibrium in the population level due to limitations of
resources
◉ birth and death rates.
Answer: through what changes of what rates (environmental
factors) is population growth slowed down
◉ extinction.
Answer: When populations reach extremely low size for natural or
anthropogenic reasons, they may be at risk for what
◉ life history.
Answer: last concept of population ecology
refers to any aspect of the development pattern and mode of
reproduction of a species
,e.g. body size, developmental pattern, senescence, and reproductive
pattern
◉ community ecology.
Answer: third scope of ecology
studies interactions among the populations of all species living in an
area at a given time
◉ competition
predation.
Answer: what are the two most important interactions that shape
communities
◉ Competition.
Answer: what is a result of niche overlap among species.
◉ Niche.
Answer: this represents the totality of species resource utilization.
◉ species diversity.
Answer: Competition has been regarded as a major force
determining the structure of communities like ______________
, ◉ Predation.
Answer: consumption of one organism by another that attacks its
prey while the prey is still alive.
◉ Disturbance.
Answer: other than competition and predation, what also organizes
communities?
◉ succession.
Answer: what concept postulates that a community develops after a
disturbance like a typhoon, fire, and volcanic eruption
◉ ecosystem ecology.
Answer: the last scope of ecology
involves the common unit study of ecology. It includes both the
community and its physical environment integrated as one through
fundamental processes such as energy and material flows.
◉ T.
Answer: T/F: Energy flow is linear and unidirectional
