Ecology Study Guide (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 4-2, Biodiversity)

  1. What is biodiversity?
  1. How does biodiversity affect the stability of an organism?
  1. Name 2 things that can unexpectedly decrease the biodiversity of an ecosystem.
  1. What are 2 factors affect changes in population size?
  1. Which resource is important for the health of soil (think of cycles)?
  1. What is the difference between abiotic and biotic factors?
  1. Cycles are primarily caused by natural processes, describe why?
  1. How does Oxygen move through abiotic and biotic factors?
  1. Changes in climate (seasons) will not affect an ecosystem because they move slowly and in a predictable pattern, describe why.
