a group of organisms in danger of extinction

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from

area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Which is a biotic factor that affects the size of a population in a specific ecosystem?

number and kinds of predators in the ecosystem

The cells of multicellular organisms are

specialized to perform different tasks

Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree ONLY because they

occupy different niches within the tree.

A biome is identified by its particular set of abiotic factors and its

characteristic ecological community

A disease resulting in the deaths of 1/3 of a dense population of bats in a cave would be a

density-dependent limiting factor

What must occur in a population for it to grow?

The birthrate becomes higher than the death rate

A predator can increase the numbers of certain species in its habitat by

killing and eating the competitors of other species

Why are fossil fuels nonrenewable?

They require hundreds of millions of years to form
