Community Interactions
Ecological Niche |
role and position a species has in its environment |
Commensalism |
One is member of the association benefeits, the other is neither helped or harmed. |
Competition |
Occurs when organisms of the same or different species attempt to use an ecological resource at the same place and time |
Mutualism |
Both species benefeit from the relationship. |
Parasitism |
One organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it. |
Predation |
An interaction in which one organism captures and feeds on another organism. |
Symbiosis |
Any relationship in which two species live close together. |
Brain
Left Hemisphere |
Sequential Analysis: systematic, logical interpretation of information. Interpretation and production of symbolic information:language, mathematics, abstraction and reasoning. Memory stored in a language format. |
Right Hemisphere |
Holistic Functioning: processing multi-sensory input simultaneously to provide "holistic" picture of one's environment. Visual spatial skills. Holistic functions such as dancing and gymnastics are coordinated by the right hemisphere. Memory is stored in auditory, visual and spatial modalities. |
Amygdala |
Neural centers in the limbic system linked to emotion |
Cerebellum |
Coordinates voluntary movement and balance |
Corpus Collosum |
communication between the two hemispheres |
Hippocampus |
A structure in the limbic system linked to memory |
Medulla |
Controls heartbeat and breathing |
Pons |
relays information between the cerebrum and the cerebellum, controls arousal and regulates respiration |
Ocean Life Forms
Plankton |
Organisms that float or drift on the water surface |
Nekton |
Organisms that swim |
Benthos |
Organisms on the seabed |

Biological Classification
Taxonomy |
the practise of identifying different organisms, classifying them into categories and naming them |
Animalia |
A kingdom which includes heterotropic consumers such as herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and detritivores |
Binomial Nomenclature |
A standard way to refer to the scientific name of an organism by using the genus and species |
Phylogeny |
the process of classifying and organizing organisms based on evolutionary relationships |
Kingdom |
The highest level of classification (Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista and Monera) |
Phylum |
The next level of classification where along a number of Classes are clubbed up to form one Phylum |
Class |
A group of Orders which share a few similarities |
Order |
A group of families showing somewhat few similarities (The classification starting from order has less similarities as a result, they are categories based on aggregates of characteristics)
|
Family |
It comprises of a number of genus which share some similarity among themselves |
Genus/ Genera |
It composes of multiple species which have similar characteristics but different from that of species from other genus |
Species |
It is the lowest level of classification and shows the high level of similarities among the organisms |
Tropism
Tropism |
slow and permanent reaction by plants |
Phototropism |
Reaction to light |
Geotropism |
Reaction to gravity |
Thigmotropism |
Reaction to light |
Positive tropism |
towards the stimulus |
Negative tropism |
away from the stimulus |
Cell Theory
Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life |
All living things are made up of cells |
All cells come from pre existing cells |
|

Organ Systems of Human Body
Muscular System |
locomotion, support, heat production |
Urinary System |
elimination of excess water, salts, and waste productions, control of PH |
Respiratory System |
delivery of air to sites where gas exchange can occur between the air and circulating blood |
Digestive System |
processing of food and absorption of organic nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and water |
Endocrine System |
directing long-term changes in the activities of other organs |
Repoductive System |
production of sex cells and hormones |
Skeletal System |
Support, protection of soft tissue, mineral storage, blood formation |
Lymphatic (immune)
System |
defense against infection and disease |
Integumentary (skin)
System |
Protection from environmental hazards, temperature control |
Nervous System |
directing immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems |
Circulatory System |
internal transport of cells and dissolved materials, including nutrients, wastes, and gases |
