(Going to type out the answers, instead of filling out the sheet. Hope that's alright.)1.) Ecology is the study of organisms and their relationship to the environment around them.2.) Abiotic factors are non-living, whereas biotic factors are living components. 3.) Abiotic factors: wind, rain, latitude, temperature, elevation, etcBiotic factors: animals, plants, fungi, etc4.) Physiological: - goosebumpsAnatomical:- Changing fur color seasonallyBehavioral:- Migration5.) A biome is an expansive area defined by its general flora and fauna. 6.) FRESHWATERLakes and Ponds: Open body of water formed by a hole, or depression, in the groundRivers and Streams: Body of water that retains constant motion and runs until it finds a body of water to drain in toWetlands: Generally have soggy, nutrient soil, rich in flora and fauna. MARINEOceans: Salty, mineral-rich waters home to many species of fauna, experiences extreme temperatures Coral Reefs: Warm waters, lacking in nutrients, generally shallowEstuaries: Diluted salt water, semi-enclosed 7.) Tropical Forest: High (70-85), High (80-400 in), rare but possible, lush and denseSavanna: Warm (68-86), Low (20-50), High rates of fire, Tall grasses/few treesDesert: Varies (25 at night - 100 during the day), Low (roughly 10 in), infrequent, sparse but diverse plantlifeChaparral: Cool (Avg. of 18), Rainy winters (100cm), Frequent, Lush (shrubs, bushes, and small trees)Temperate Grassland: Varies (hot summers, cold winters), Low (20-35 in), Common, grass and shrubsTemperate Broadleaf Forest: Fair/Warm (37-73), (30-60in), Common, Dense and luscious flora Coniferous Forest: Warm (Avg. 40-68), (12-35in), Abundant, Abundant in trees (conifers)Tundra: Cold (-30 - 20), Little (6-10), Very few, Mosses/lichens Polar Ice: Cold (Avg. 32), ~10in, not common, Algae/lichens/moss8.) Greenhouse gasses are gasses that absorb outgoing heat energy and retain it in the atmosphere. Because these gasses are trapped, they slowly heat up the earth as more and more collect. 9.) An abundance of Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by the ocean where it forms carbonic acid, thus raising the acidity of the water.10.) A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gasses any one person makes. Recycling is a great way to reduce the footprint.

Define “ecology.”
  What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors in an environment? 
  List and describe the mentioned abiotic factors of the biosphere.
  Give an example for each of the following responses to environmental variability: 
  What is a biome? 
   Fill out the following table regarding aquatic biomes. 
  
Answer: Ecology is a branch of biology. It studies the interactions or relations between and among organisms and how they react to their physical surroundings or environment.
  
Answer:  The living things and the non living things in an environment are called biotic factors and abiotic factors respectively. Producers, consumers, decomposers etc. of an ecosystem are examples of biotic factors.Chemical agents and physical conditions are example for abiotic factors.
  
Answer: Examples of abiotic factors are: air, water, soil etc.
  
Air: an invisible mixture of gases surrounding the earth.
  
Water: a transparent liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain. It is colourless and shapeless.
  
Soil: the upper layer of earth formed by the weathering of rocks. Soil is required by the plants to grow.
  
 
  
a. Physiological response: sweating when people are stressed.
  
b. Anatomical response: ducks having webbed feet to swim.
  
 c. Behavioral response : dogs salivating when food is being served.
  
 
  
Answer: Biome is a large naturally formed, ecological area, characterized by its flora and fauna or vegetation. Example: Forest, Tundra etc.
  
lakes and ponds 
  
still or standing waters
  snails, amphibians, fish etc are part of the biodiversity
  flowing water
  Water is used for drinking and crop irrigation
  prevent flooding by acting as a reservoir
  home for amphibians like frogs and toads
  Dolphins, whales and sharks are found in this region
  Climatic diversity present
  though a small biome it is rich biodiversity
  corals are marine colonial polyp
  area where the river meets the ocean
  home to salmon and sea trout
  
rivers and streams 
  
wetland 
  
oceans (pelagic realm) 
  
coral reefs 
  
estuaries

What are greenhouse gases? How do greenhouse gases lead to climate change? 
   What effect does carbon dioxide (CO2) have on the oceans? 
  What is a carbon footprint? Give an example of a way you could reduce your carbon footprint.
  
Answer:  Greenhouse gases are responsible for greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. They are Water vapor, Carbon dioxide, Methane, Ozone, Nitrous oxide and Chlorofluorocarbons. Since the greenhouse gases are capable of trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, they increase the heat in the atmosphere causing greenhouse effect. And greenhouse effect will result in global warming.
  
Answer: When the amount of carbon dioxide is increased in the atmosphere, a major part of it is absorbed by the ocean. The reaction of seawater with carbon dioxide will result in the formation of carbonic acid. This causes results in the increased acidity of seawater.
  
Answer: The amount of greenhouse gases, most importantly carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere during any activity that is done by human beings is called carbon footprint. Taking public transportation is a way by which we can reduce carbon footprint.
