Across
- 3. (2.11) The range of environmental conditions where an organism is able to survive and thrive such as temperature, salinity, pH, and light.
- 6. (2.1)A group of the same species living in a given area
- 8. (2.6) A mode of nutrition for fungi and some bacteria where they feed on dead and decaying organic matter by secreting digestive enzymes and absorbing the molecules
- 11. (2.4) Shallow, warm (20-29 degrees celsius), clear saltwater (32-42 ppm salinity), sunlight, minimal pollution
- 12. (2.7) A nutrition type where an organism can obtain nutrients from both autotrophy (photosynthesis)and heterotrophy (consuming organic matter)
Down
- 1. factors (2.9) Environmental influences that impact population size regardless of density, often physical or chemical events such as natural disasters, pollution, and climate conditions
- 2. factors (2.8) Factors that limit a population size based on the population density such as resources, predation, and disease
- 4. (2.12) Non-living environmental factors that impact an ecosystems ability to sustain living organisms (such as water, temperature, soil, and wind)
- 5. (2.5) Heterotrophic nutrition where organisms ingest organic materials and digest internally to obtain nutrients
- 7. relationships (2.3)Exist between species of the same kind in order to fulfill needs to survive including food, shelter, and caring for offspring.
- 9. (2.10) Non-native organisms that cause harm to an environment by reproducing quickly and outcompeting native species
- 10. capacity (2.2)The maximum size of a population that an environment can support.
