interdependence

• Interdependence is shown in coral reefs
  because all of the organisms and fish rely on
  each other to live. Because of the food chain
  and the environment.

abiotic

• Abiotic features mean, in the winter season,
  most animals, plants and other organisms are dead
  or in hibernation. What is shown here would be an
  example of abiotic factors such as snow and
  extremely low temperatures, which causes many
  things to dissipate.

5
biotic

• Biotic features occur when spring and summer
  seasons are at their peak. Most animals plants
  and organisms are alive at this time. A few of
  the factors of the biotic time are lush
  vegetation and budding flowers which are obvious
  signs of new life.

6
Acclimation

• Acclimation is when different kinds of animals
  such as the angelfish which is shown here has to
  have its body become accustomed to different
  temperatures slowly so it can survive in the
  environment it has been moved to.

7
adaptation

• Adaptation is when different species adjust over
  time from generation to generation. Such as the
  chipmunk, over time it has had to adjust to
  different environments. Its color, its routines,
  where it lives and other important factors.

8
conformer

• Conformers are organisms or animals and plants
  that cant control their conditions outside their
  body when the environment changes. Such as the
  jellyfish. When the water temperature changes so
  does their body temperature and other
  characterists within their body.

9
regulator

• Regulators are organisms, plants or animals that
  control their body conditions and have internal
  conditions that change with the environment.
  Such as the white Siberian tiger. When the
  environment changes from hot to cold its body
  conditions change as well.

10
dormancy

• Dormancy mostly called hibernation is when the
  seasons change and particular animals undergo
  heavy sleeping for many months at a time. Such as
  the black bear that undergoes hibernation during
  the winter months.

11
migration

• Migration is when some animals that dont adjust
  to the cold go to other climates that they are
  used to. Such as the sea turtle, instead of
  adapting to the cold water they migrate to other
  waters.

12
generalist

• Generalists are animals that eat a wide variety
  of foods, such as giraffes. Who eat many
  different leaves from many different plants, and
  many different insects.

13
specialist

• Specialists are animals that eat only particular
  foods, such as the cheetah who only eats meats.
  A wide variety but mostly only meats.

14
Producers

• Aquatic ecosystems
• Photosynthetic protists
• Bacteria

15
Consumers.

• Herbivores
• Carnivores
• Omnivores
• Detritivores
