1ST EXAM

• RENEWABLE RESOURCES


  resources that can be used repeatedly and does not run out because it is naturally replaced
• CLIMATIC FACTOR - Sunlight is abiotic factor
• WIND - carrier of seeds
• ECOSYSTEM - living and non-living object
• NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES - water, fossil fuels, and natural gases.
• FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY - ecosystem operates and functions
• GREENHOUSE GAS - trap the heat
• AIR POLLUTION - divided into solid and liquid
• SEDIMENT - transported water bodies through surface
• PERTOLUEM/OIL POLLUTION - oil from roads, parking lots runoff into water bodies
• DEFORESTATION - removal of plants and trees
• GENETIC DIVERSITY - different inherited traits
• DECOMPOSERS - dead or breakdown dead organic material
• LAND POLLUTION - deposition of waste underground
• HUMAN ECOLOGY - interaction of human and non-human nature
• FOLIAGE - leafy canopy of many trees or plants
• IMPROPER WASTE DISPOSAL - waste ends up on soil and other land
• OZONE LAYER - ultra violate rays
• BIOTIC FACTOR - living components
• AUTOTROPHS - plants generate their own energy
• SULFUR DIOXIDE - product of electricity generation
• POLLUTANTS - harmful materials
• ABIOTIC FACTORS - non-living components
• SPECIES RICHNESS - number of species in an area
• SPECIES DIVERSITY - abundance of species
• BIODIVERSITY - living variations of organisms in the world
• THREE (3) BASIC CATEGORIES OF ABIOTIC FACTORS: 1. CLIMATIC FACTOR 2. EDAPHIC FACTOR 3. SOCIAL FACTOR
• EDAPHIC FACTOR - soil conditions and geography of the land
• SOCIAL FACTOR - how human activity can impact the land and resources in the area
• TWO COMPONENTS OF ECOSYSTEM: 1. ABIOTIC FACTOR 2. BIOTIC FACTOR
• FIVE COMMON ABIOTIC FACTORS: 1. ATMOSPHERE 2. CHEMICAL ELEMENTS 3. SUNLIGHT/TEMPERATURE 4. WIND 5. WATER
• THREE COMMON BIOTIC FACTORS: 1. PRODUCERS(AUTOTROPHS)-can generate their own energy 2. CONSUMERS(HETEROTRPOHS)- herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores 3. DECOMPOSERS(DETRITIVORES)- fungi and bacteria called the saprophytes
