abiotic components - Nonliving chemical and physical factors in the environment (temp, light, nutrients, water) aerobis - needs oxygen to take place Alcoholic Fermentation - plants, anaerobic, Produces ethyl alcohol and a little bit of ATP Altruistic - ___ behavior -individuals put themselves at risk for the benefit of their species -Enhances another individuals reproductive success at the altruist's expense -Makes sense for the survival of kin or the overall group anabolism - Constructive metabolism; the process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones. Anaerobic - Process that does not require oxygen Angiosperms - flowering plants -90% of all plants that use a flower as a reproductive shoot -Flower structure can be male and/or female part Autotroph - An organism that makes its own food Behavior - -the observable response of organisms to external or internal stimuli -Are adaptive -natural selection can act on these -Controlled by genetics and the environmentBehavioral plasticity - expression of behaviors will be expressed differently depending on the environment better - Acoustic sounds (alarm, sexual, social) travel ______ through water than air biotic components - living organisms of ecosystem (organisms, competition, predation, herbivory) carrying capacity - maximum population size that an environment can support Catabolism - destructive metabolism; the breaking down in living organisms of more complex substances into simpler ones, with the release of energy Cellular Respiration - -process of converting potential chemical energy (stored in carbohydrates) into usable biochemical energy (ATP) -produces; CO2 + H2O + ATP + heat E chlorophyll a - -green pigments that absorb red, violet and orange light to reflect green light -cause green plant color Chloroplast - Site of photosynthesis, green body, 2 outer membranes Citric Acid Cycle - (aka Krebs Cycle) -Occurs in mitochondria -Produces; 8 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP Coevolution - joint evolution of two closely interactive species, each species selects for traits in the other, shifting the range of adaptationsCommunication - -The use of specialized signals to modify behaviors of other organisms -Integration of chemical, visual and acoustic adaptations -For social, sexual, and defensive interaction community - 2+ populations living in the same geographical area
