Study Notes
Genetic Control
- Hereditary or genetic factors control general species characteristics of an individual and limit size and rate of growth.
Environmental Factors
- Abiotic environmental factors include radiation, temperature, water, daylength, wind, and gases.
Soil Factors
- Edaphic factors include soil texture, structure, organic matter, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, base saturation, and nutrient availability.
Hormonal Regulation
- Hormones regulate protein synthesis, cell division, cell enlargement, incorporation of substances into cell walls, and hormone production and activity.
Insect Characteristics
- The hard exoskeleton in insects provides protection, support, and maintenance of body shape.
Insect Success
- The small size of insects contributes to their success due to advantages in reproduction, survival, and adaptation to environments.
Insect Reproduction
- The high rate of reproduction in insects is contributed by their ability to produce many offspring and adapt to changing environments.
Exoskeleton Protection
- The exoskeleton protects insects from poisonous substances by preventing them from penetrating the body.
Water-proof Exoskeleton
- The water-proofed exoskeleton provides an advantage to insects by preventing water loss and maintaining internal humidity.
