leach on your skin
lion hunts gazelle
19
Parasitism
one benefits, one dies
One benefits, one does not
One dies
One benefits, one is harmed
20

mining in strips
placing TNT and blowing certain areas up
blasting off tops of mountians
cutting land to see dirt
23
What is fracking and why do people oppose it
the use of technology on farming
use of hydroelectricity
using pestisides for forming and it harms food supply
the use of preservatives
24

30
Example of parasitism
lion hunts gazelle
a bear sleeps
leach on skin

largest # of organisms an ecosystem ignores
largest # of organisms a parasite can hold
largest # of organisms an ecosystem can hold
largest # of organisms an ecosystem rejects
32
What is sustainable farming and why is it better than traditional farming
sustainable farm uses pestisides - tradition uses organic
uses technology to harvest food, better becasue reliable
sustainable - uses fossil fuels - healthy
sustainable uses preservatives and pestisides
33
Renewable

oil, coal, gas
mining
hydroelectricity
34
What is invasive species
a species that chases natural species
a species that kills natural species
a species that eats natural species
a species that grows natural species
35
exponential growth
A population that stalls
A population that doesn't grow
A population that grows exponentially - up and rapid
A population that grows slowly
36
difference between physical and chemical
physical can be altered, chemical can't be altered
physical can be fixed, chemical can't
physical can be fixed, chemical can be fixed also
physical can't fixed, chemical can
37
strip mining
using TNT to blow things up
blasting tops of mountains
mining in strips
cutting land to see dirt
38
Why do developed countries have great ecological footprint
they have better technology
they rely on hydroelectricity
they rely on fossil fuels
They use pestisides on their food supply
39
Difference between J Curve and S Curve
