Competition: Gause's principle of competitive exclusion

Only one species can occupy any niche within an ecosystem

Interspecific Competition

competition between different species

Trapping heat under the blanket of greenhouse gases after heat radiates

Which of the following is an example of intraspecific competition?

Male zebras fight each other for female mates

Pioneer species are...

the first living things to move into a barren environment

Warmer temps can spread disease from animals to people, Loss of biodiversity, Salt water contamination of aquifers from rising sea levels, Low-lying populated coastal areas may flood

Global sea level rise is caused by:

Global warming and melting of land-based ice.

What is climate change?

A change in global or regional climate patterns

Which can be caused by climate change?

Heat Waves, Flooding, Wildlife Endangerment, Wildfire

The climax community is

a long lasting and apparently stable plant community

What would happen to the stability of an ecosystem if plant species began to die off.

more unstable: not enough energy to support food web

What is the primary cause of climate change?

Burning of fossil fuels for electricity

Explain Ocean Acidification?

Lowering of the ocean’s PH level due to increased levels of carbon dioxide.

In an ecosystem, you would expect to find interspecific competition between

populations of two species that occupy the same niche

When analyzing this graph what can you say about the relationship between predator and prey?

As the predator increase the prey decrease

How do predator and prey relationships help the environment?

They keep balance in the ecosystem, which prevents overpopulation

What are the two primarily driven factors for sea level rise?

Thermal expansion, increased melting of the glaciers & ice

Competitive Exclusion

one species will become extinct or pushed into another niche, one species will the better suited, When two species compete for the same resources

An interaction between two species in which both benefit

is at the top of the food chain

Interspecific Competition

competition between different species

Agriculture, natural terrestrial ecosystems, and water resources
All of the above
Energy and human health
3
Is extreme weather an impact of climate change?
No.
Yes.
4
Interspecific Competition
competition between different species
competition between same species
competition based on specific problems
competition caused by something specific inbetween something
5
Explain the process of the Greenhouse Effect
The Earth is getting colder after releasing carbon into the atmosphere
Releasing heat into the atmosphere after the sun sents solar radiation
Trapping heat under the blanket of greenhouse gases after heat radiates
Everything gettting hotter
6

mutualism
communism
parasitism
competition
7
Which community interaction is shown?

grass and weeds compete for nutrients and water on your lawn
All of the above
Male zebras fight each other for female mates
Snakes hunt and eat mice
9
Is this interspecific or intraspecific competition?
intraspecific
interspecific
10
Pioneer species are...
what limits the growth of a population
the first living things to move into a barren environment
what feed off all other organisms in an ecosystem
are the first to leave an ecosystem after a natural disaster
11
What is the future impact on people due to climate change?
Warmer temps can spread disease from animals to people
Loss of biodiversity
Salt water contamination of aquifers from rising sea levels
Low-lying populated coastal areas may flood
12
Global sea level rise is caused by:
More rainfall and snow.
Global warming and more rain.
Global warming and melting of land-based ice.
More rivers and lakes.
13
Type of succession that already HAS soil:
Tertiary succession
Secondary succession
Primary succession
All of the above
14
What is climate change?
A sudden change in conditions like temperature or rainfall
Increase in the overall temp of the earth's atmosphere
A change in global or regional climate patterns
A seasonal weather change
15
What type of community interaction is shown?

Flooding
Wildlife Endangerment
Wildfire
17
The climax community is
a long lasting and apparently stable plant community
the limiting factor for the community
always changing
the animal species at the top of the food chain
18
What would happen to the stability of an ecosystem if plant species began to die off.
more stable: predators can easily find prey
more unstable: animals would run out of oxygen
more unstable: not enough energy to support food web
19
What is the primary cause of climate change?
Deforestation
Burning of fossil fuels for electricity
Methane emissions from animals and agriculture
Natural gas production
20
Explain Ocean Acidification?
Ocean acidification reduces the amount of carbonate in the seawater.
Caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas for human industry.
Lowering of the ocean’s PH level due to increased levels of carbon dioxide.
21
