only found in one area
migrates throughout the U.S.
found worldwide
found only in Florida
9

ecological demand and ecological supply cannot be measured
ecological demand is proportional to ecological supply
ecological demand equals ecological supply
10

16
A gopher tortoise is considered a keystone species because
it scares away predators
it provides homes for other animals
it lives a long time

17
A tornado has caused the canopy of a habitat to change, allowing new growth in the understory. This is an example of
primary succession
secondary succession
an unfortunate event
a bad day
18

an educated guess
a prediction
a testable statment
a way to prove science
19
