1. ecology study of interactions between organisms and their environments
2. quantitative vs qualitative quantitative: measurements/population numbers
qualitative: observations of organisms
3. what type of science is ecol- multidisciplinary (need knowledge from various science feilds)
ogy
4. biotic vs abiotic factors biotic: living organisms
abiotic: non-living organisms
5. smallest to largest groups organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere
6. organism (smallest) one living thing
7. population group of organisms (same species) in one place
8. community interacting populations in an area (many species)
9. ecosystem biotic + abiotic factors in an area
10. biome all the ecosystems in a portion of the world with a specific climate
11. biosphere (biggest) portion of the earth where life is found
12. 4 spheres atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere/cryosphere,
