ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT

QUIZZZZZZZZZ
Pay Attention
What is the distribution area of a species?

Geographic
al space
Ecological where a
interactions species is
present

Ecological niche
It is called this way to the element of the
environment that acts directly on organisms such as
rain or sun, and whose interaction affects their
development.

Environment
Ecological al factor
interactions

Ecological niche
is the space defined by the sum of environmental
factors necessary for the survival and reproduction of
a species (the species' role in the ecosystem

Ecological Habitat
interactions

Ecological niche
It is the interaction that occurs when bees feed
on the nectar of a flower and, in turn, the flower
manages to spread its pollen

Amensalism
Mutualism

Neutralism
Way in which species coexist and interact with
each other

Ecological niche
Some wasps of the Chalcididae family lay their eggs on some
insects, when they hatch they feed on the insect until it dies and
continue their life cycle. What type of predator-prey interaction do
they have?

Parasitoidism
Parasitism

True predator
The "tongue-eating louse" is an organism that enters the mouth of
some fish and sucks the blood from the artery of the fish's tongue,
even taking the place of the tongue to feed for the rest of its life.
What type of predator-prey interaction do they have?

Parasitoidism
Parasitism

Herbivory
The jaguar and the puma cannot coexist locally, unless they occupy
different ecological niches, otherwise, a species will become
extinct. This is known as:

Population
exotic growth
species

Competitive
exclusion
Type of interaction that two male deer have when they fight to
reproduce with a female

interspecific
Intraspecific competition
competition

Competitive
exclusion
It is the interaction that occurs between populations of different
species where a resource is used by one, which limits access to it
for the other species. For example, lions and hyenas competing for
the same food.

interspecific
Intraspecific competition
competition

Competitive
exclusion
Interaction that remora fish have when they follow sharks
to feed on the waste they leave behind when attacking and
devouring their prey (the shark is indifferent to their
presence).

Amensalism
Mutualism

commensalism
is the number of individuals in a population in a given area
and time

Population
Population growth
size

Diversity
refers to the entry and exit of new individuals that come
from a different population than the one being studied.

Population
migration growth

Emigration
24 European rabbits were introduced to Australia in the late 18th
century, they quickly adapted because they had plenty of
resources available and no predators. They became a plague that is
fought today. What type of population growth describes this
event?

Population
Exponential growth
growth

Logistic Growth
Between 1977 and 1978, a drought on Daphne Major island caused a drastic reduction in
seed production, which in turn led to a decline in the population of the Geospiza fortis
finch due to lack of food. By 1983, rainfall had increased, leading to high growth rates in
the populations of the same bird. What type of population growth describes this event?

Population
Exponential growth
growth

Logistic Growth
What is the characteristic of communities that includes two components: number of
species and abundance

Environment
Richness

Diversity
This is the concept that tries to describe the form of organization of the
communities

Composition
Richness

Diversity
Ecological succession process that starts on a surface where there has not
been any vegetation before or where there was vegetation but it did not
have any effect on subsequent changes.

Primary
Secondary succession
succession

Restoration
Ecological succession process that occurs where vegetation has been
removed but not all organisms have disappeared, the original vegetation has
some influence on the vegetation that will occupy that site.

Primary
Secondary succession
succession

Restoration
This is the process of degradation of arid lands, often irreparable, where the
productive functions of the soil are lost and the biological and hydrological
cycles are altered, reducing the production of environmental services:

soil Desertification
degradation

Deforestation
Partial recovery of the ecosystem

Restoration
Rehabilitation

Replacement
Total recovery of an ecosystem different from the
original

The Argentine parrots that inhabit areas such as Costa de Oro in
Veracruz cause environmental problems because they do not
belong to the ecosystem, dry up trees and represent competition
for local birds. How is this environmental problem known?

Invasive exotic species

species

endemic species
El Ambystoma mexicanum, also known as the "Mexican Axolotl," is
an amphibian species that was found exclusively in the Valley of
Mexico, in the Xochimilco canal system in Mexico City. Now it only
lives in captivity and is a clear example of:

Invasive exotic species

species

endemic species
Deforestation, urbanization and land use change causes species to
lose their home or die, as a consequence the problem that arises
is:

Climate
Soil change
degradation

Species
extinction and
biodiversity loss
Mosses and lichens have a great colonization capacity and are
pioneers in the construction of ecosystems. This phenomenon is
known as:

Inhibition
Facilitation

Tolerance
Environmental problems based on poor rationing and use of water

overfishing
Lack of water

Deforestation
Environmental problem based on fishing more organisms than
those that can reproduce and not respecting fishing ban periods,
which affects the entire ecosystem in a chain.

overfishing
Lack of water

Deforestation
The high amount of waste produced and its poor processing cause
us problems of the following type:

overfishing
Lack of water

Waste
contamination
It is known as the process by which water regulates climate,
recharges lakes, lagoons, and different bodies of water on earth,
and mobilizes nutrients.

Nitrogen cycle
Water cycle

Carbon cycle
This is the name given to groups of organisms of different species
that live in a given area
