AP Biology - Unit 8 Ecology; Questions & Answers 100%
Solved
ecology Correct answer-study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and their
interactions with other organisms and with their physical environment
population Correct answer-group of individuals of the same species living in the same
area
community Correct answer-group of populations of different species living in the same
area
ecosystem Correct answer-interrelationships between organisms in a community and
their physical environment
biosphere Correct answer-composed of all the regions of the earth that contain living
things (hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere)
habitat Correct answer-type of place where an organism usually lives; descriptions
typically include the organisms and the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment
niche Correct answer-all biotic and abiotic resources in the environment used by an

, AP Biology - Unit 8 Ecology; Questions & Answers 100%
Solved
abiotic factor Correct answer-physical, or nonliving, factor that shapes an ecosystem
climate Correct answer-long-term prevailing weather conditions in a given area; major
components include temperature, precipitation, sunlight, and wind
biome Correct answer-large region of the earth whose distribution depends on the
amount of precipitation and temperature in an area; characterized by dominant vegetation and
animal life
population growth is described by... Correct answer-biotic potential, carrying capacity,
and limiting factors
