Exam 1 – Study Guide Chapter 1 Introduction Environment –Immediate surroundings, comes from the greek word ‘oikos’ meaning house. Ecology – the science by which we study how organisms interact in and with the natural world. Ecosystem – large and complex ecological system, sometimes including many thousands of different kinds of organisms living in a great variety of individual surroundings.  All obey similar principles regarding o Physical and chemical attributes o Regula...
