| 11524636070 | Population | A group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area | 0 | |
| 11524639679 | Community | All the different populations that live together in an area | 1 | |
| 11524647934 | Ecosystem | A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. | 2 | |
| 11524667895 | Predation | An interaction in which one organism kills another for food. | 3 | |
| 11524667896 | Parasitism | A relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed | 4 | |
| 11524674432 | Comensalism | Relationship where one organisms benefits, the other isn't effected | 5 | |
| 11524676982 | Mutualism | A relationship between two species in which both species benefit | 6 | |
| 11524694015 | Symbiosis | A close relationship between two species that benefits at least one of the species. | 7 | |
| 11524708330 | density dependent factors | limiting factor that depends on population size | 8 | |
| 11524715454 | density-independent factors | limiting factor that affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of population size | 9 | |
| 11524723946 | Limiting factor | Any biotic or abiotic factor that restricts the existence, numbers, reproduction, or distribution of organisms. | 10 | |
| 11524727385 | carrying capacity | Largest number of individuals of a population that a environment can support | 11 | |
| 11524730935 | exponential growth | Growth pattern in which the individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate | 12 | |
| 11524734583 | logistic growth | Growth pattern in which a population's growth rate slows or stops following a period of exponential growth | 13 | |
| 11524751027 | r-selected species | a species that has a high intrinsic growth rate, which often leads to population overshoots and die-offs | 14 | |
| 11524754255 | K-selected species | a species with a low intrinsic growth rate that causes the population to increase slowly until it reaches carrying capacity | 15 | |
| 11609072284 | Overshoot | when a population becomes larger than the environment's carrying capacity | 16 | |
| 11609076288 | die-off | a rapid decline in a population due to death | 17 | |
| 11609086664 | Type 1 survivorship curve | a pattern of survival over time in which there is high survival throughout most of the life span, but then individuals start to die in large numbers as they approach old age | 18 | |
| 11609086665 | type 2 survivorship curve | fairly constant death rate at all ages (small mammals and large birds) | 19 | |
| 11609089624 | type 3 survivorship curve | a pattern of survival over time in which there is low survivorship early in life with few individuals reaching adulthood | 20 | |
| 11609097644 | corridor | strips of natural habitat that connect populations | 21 |
