Which is not a type of symbiosis?

Competition

This contraction refers to the great variety present in all forms of life.

Biodiversity

These are parasites living inside the bodies of their host.

Endoparasites

This is also known as biomagnification

Bioaccumulation

The word given to describe the effects of when a water body becomes so rich in nutrients that the natural
wildlife is unable to survive

Eutrophication

An organism’s specialized role in the environment is called __________.

Niche

These are organisms that eat plants, extracting energy and chemical building blocks to make more complex
substances; they are also the primary consumers

(Herbivores)

It is the passage of energy from one level to another as a result of one organism consuming another.

(Trophy) (Energy Flow)

A naturally occurring oil that consists chiefly of hydrocarbons with some other elements such as sulfur,
oxygen and nitrogen.

Petroleum

Which of the following nutrients contribute to eutrophication?

(Sulfur)

This is the term often used to describe engineered solar or photovoltaic cell systems designed to capture
light energy and convert it into electrical energy.

Artificial Photosynthesis

The following are the processes that remove materials from the atmosphere except __________.

(Oxidation)

Terrestrial climax communities with wide geographic distribution.

Biomes

This is the nonliving component of ecosystem.

Abiotic

These cycles are closely linked through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.

Oxygen and Carbon

A brown or black carbon deposit derived from the accumulation and alteration of ancient vegetation.
Coal

The equation CO2 + H2O + ∆ → C(H2O) + O2 is the representation of

percentage of consumption.

Crude Oil

Anything that affects an organism during its lifetime

Environment

Which of these is not one of the “great spheres” of the Earth?

(Litosphere) (Hydrosphere) (Atmosphere)

This is the greenhouse gas that has the largest contribution to anthropogenic greenhouse effect.

Facultative

Carbon is deposited into the lithosphere as carbonates in the process called ___________.

(Diffusion) (Percolation)

In the Ecosystem, the material flow is

Cyclical

Water level where algal photosynthesis is reduced to the point that it only just matches respiration

Compensation Point

What genus of bacteria transforms ammonia to nitrite in the Nitrogen cycle?

Nitrosomonas

The strong interactions among living organisms and the various spheres of the abiotic environment
described through cycles of matter that involve biological, chemical, and geological processes and
phenomena.

Biogeochemical Cycle

A commensalism that is for transportation

(Inquilism)

This is the process by which the chemical energy stored through photosynthesis is ultimately released to do
work in plants and other organisms.

Respiration

The science that deals with the relationships between living organisms with their physical environment and
with each other.

Ecology
