Environmental Biology Quiz

Environment = The complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors that act upon an organism or an ecological community Environmental Biology = A scientific study of the origins, functions, relationships, interactions, and natural history of living populations, communities, species, and ecosystems in relation to dynamic environmental processes Biotic Components = Living organisms in the environment Abiotic Components = Non-living factors in the environment

Understand the environment = By learning environmental biology, students will be able to understand the structure and the functions of the environment they live in Linking and interaction = To understand how biotic and abiotic components of the environment are linked and interact with each other Recognize organizational levels = To recognize the different levels of organization in the environment Understand dynamic environmental processes = To understand the impact of dynamic environmental processes on living populations, communities, species, and ecosystems

G.C.E.(A/L) = General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) Biology Resource Book 08 = A resource book for the study of biology at the 8th level Environmental Biology = A specific field of biology that focuses on the study of the environment and its relationship with living organisms Dynamic Environmental Processes = Processes in the environment that are constantly changing or in motion

<p>Living Populations = Groups of individuals of the same species that live in the same area Communities = Groups of different species that live in the same area and interact with each other Species = A group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring Ecosystems = A community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system</p> Signup and view all the answers
