PICTIONARY

Habitat: the place where an organism lives. physical factor: non-living part of an
environment (e.g. wind).

The Aye-woes are well adapted to different types of

habitat.

Resource: anything that is needed or used by an organism.

It is the natural resource that generates thousands of other resources.

Ecosystem: all the organisms and the physical factors in an area.

Este frágil ecosistema se constituye

como protección contra eventos
climáticos.
Environment: the other organisms and physical factors around a certain organism.

We must try to protect the environment.

Decomposer: microorganism that causes decay.

he

greater humidity allows fungi and

other decomposers to flourish.

Pitfall trap: jar buried in the ground to

collect small animals that walk on the

ground.

There are also various traps to make

this game more addicting.

Quadrat: square frame used to take samples in a habitat.

Not all of each site, however, lay within the

survey quadrat.

Sample: small portion of something, used to

discover what the whole of the thing is like.
We anticipate a small sample of these
illustrations .
Frequency: the number of times something occurs.

Hand lens: another term for magnifying glass.

Oil dots seen with a hand lens

Pooter: device to suck small animals into a collecting jar without harming them.

As the wheel turned, the potter shaped the clay.

Population: the total number of individual organisms of

one species living in a certain area.

In 2007, the Territory had a population of

29,257.

Carnivore: animal that eats other animals.

Salmon
is a
carnivore, it has no way to digest soy.
Consumer: animal that eats other living things.

If you are a consumer, you can buy with confidence.

Food chain: diagram showing feeding relationships in a

habitat - each species is a food source for the species at the
next level up.

The next animal on the food chain is the sparrow.

Herbivore: animal that eats plants.

Plants and their specialist herbivores are a
good example.

Omnivore: animal that eats both plants

and animals.

Cohen is actually an omnivore, eating both meat and dairy products.

Primary consumer: animal that eats

plants (producers). These are the second
trophic level in an ecosystem. For
example, an antelope eats grass.

That's the primary consumer.

Producer: organism that makes its own food, such

as a plant.

In
1910, Bolivia was the world's
second producer of tin.
Secondary consumer: animal that eats a primary consumer. These are the third trophic
level in an ecosystem. For example, a hyena eats an antelope.

Omnivores, who feed on both plants and animals,

can also be considered a secondary consumer.

Trophic level: level in an ecosystem. All

producers are in the first trophic level. Energy
passes from the lower to the higher trophic levels.

On feeding on more than one trophic level.

Bioaccumulation: build-up of a substance in

an organism because the substance cannot be
broken down and is not excreted.

Morikawa et al. (2005) showed a high

bioaccumulation in turtles.

Competition: a strugale between some organisms for the same resources.

These reasons are numerous
and distinguish us from the
competition.

Food web: diagram to show

how food chains interconnect
in a habitat.

The entire food web of nature is based on these fungal filaments.

Extinction: when a species dies out completely.

That fall may be the extinction of the human race.
Invasive species: a non-native species that damages an ecosystem

This biomass is an invasive species that abounds in

the region.

Native species: a specs that naturally lives in an

area.
There are token projects in the programme
involving native species.

Non-native species: a species that does not

naturally live in a certain area.

Protection of coastal areas from the

introduction of non-native species.
