AP BIO: Ecology Review; Questions & Answers Latest
Update 100% Solved
Population Correct answer-a group of organisms of the same species populating a given
area
Community Correct answer-(ecology) a group of interdependent organisms inhabiting
the same region and interacting with each other
ecosystem Correct answer-a system formed by the interaction of a community of
organisms with their physical environment
biosphere Correct answer-the regions of the surface and atmosphere of the Earth (or
other planet) where living organisms exist
habitat Correct answer-the type of environment in which an organism or group normally
lives or occurs
niche Correct answer-(ecology) the status of an organism within its environment and
community (affecting its survival as a species)
size Correct answer-the property resulting from being one of a series of graduated
measurements (as of clothing)
population density Correct answer-number of individuals per unit area

dispersion Correct answer-The pattern of distribution of organisms in a population
age structure Correct answer-proportion of people in different age groups in a population
survivorship curves Correct answer-They show the likelihood of survival at different ages
throughout the lifetime of the organism.
type I Correct answer-Survivorship curve in which the likelihood of dying is small until
late in life, when mortality increases rapidly (such as Humans or elephants).
type II Correct answer-Survivorship curve in which there is an equal likelihood of dying
throughout life (such as birds or small mammals).
type III Correct answer-Survivorship curve in which organisms are most likely to die when
young; the few survivors tend to live until old age (such as oysters, salmon, or insects).
biotic potential Correct answer-the maximum reproductive rate of an organism, given
unlimited resources and ideal environmental conditions
carrying capacity Correct answer-largest number of individuals of a population that a
environment can support
