Across
- 1. group of organisms that can mate and produce viable offspring (the offspring can make and reproduce grandbabies). Horse + donkey = mule and mules cannot reproduce, so horse and donkey are separate species
- 4. one organism eats an organism of a different species
- 6. between 2 species or among 1 species for resources or limiting factors
- 8. all the members of one species in a particular area (remember the definition of a species) (all the giraffes at a watering hole)
- 9. factor any biotic or abiotic factor that can limit the number of organisms or what type of organisms an environment can support (food, shelter, mates, water, temperature)
- 13. Ecosystems - community and their nonliving surroundings (includes water, sun…)
- 14. where an organism lives-provide all it need to live, grow, and reproduce (food,shelter, mates, etc.)
- 15. capacity maximum number of organisms an environment can support
Down
- 2. density # of individuals in a given area OR # organisms/area
- 3. the study of the environment and how all living thing in it interacts with each other and with abiotic factors
- 5. any nonliving thing in the environment that could affect a biotic factor (sunlight, oxygen, water, soil)
- 7. 1 giraffe (any living thing)
- 10. all the different populations that live together in an area (giraffes, birds, lions, grass, bugs)
- 11. any living thing in the environment
- 12. an organism’s job in its environment (worms add 02 to the soil)
