APES homework- watch all chapters (it's about 2 hours, so do a little each night!)

Have this done by friday: Take notes so you can use them on the quiz

Biology Window Pane Terms:

1. Photosynthesis- the process of making food (glucose) using sunlight.

2. Autotrophs- organisms that make their own food using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

3. Heterotrophs- organisms that have to consume other organisms to obtain the energy they need to survive.

4. Consumers- organisms that have to eat other organisms

5. Producers- organisms that make food for other organisms

6. Individual- one member (organism) of a particular species.

7. Population- all of the members of a particular species

8. Community- all of the different types of living organisms in a given area

9. Ecosystem- all of the living and non-living things in a given area

10. Omnivore- organism that eats plants and animals for its energy needs

11. Herbivore- organism that only eats plants for its energy needs

12. Carnivore-organism that only eats animals for its energy needs

13. Detritivore- organism that eats dead things for its energy needs

14. Decomposer- organism that breaks organic matter down into its basic elements.

15. Biomass- the weight of organic matter in a given area.

16. Abiotic factors- non-living things that exist and play a role in an organism's environment.

17. Biotic factors- living things in the environment

18. Symbiosis- a close relationship between two organisms

19. Limiting factors- anything that contributes to the survival and reproduction of an organism, therefore if there is not enough of it, the population will decrease. (water, food, habitat are examples)

20. Carrying capacity- the maximum amount of organisms that can live in an area. (note: this is usually determined by the limiting factors in an environment)
