What is physiology? correct answers - the study of the normal functioning of a living organism and its component parts, including chemical and physical processes - "knowledge of nature" What are emergent properties? correct answers properties of a complex system that cannot be explained by a knowledge of a systems individual components What do emergent properties result from? correct answers from complex, nonlinear interactions of the systems different components What are some exampl...

What are the 3 ways knowledge is applied in Ecology? Correct Answer-1. Preservation (allowing nature to run its course without human intervention) 2. Direct Manipulation of animal populations, like stocking fish 3. Indirect Manipulation (altering vegetation, soil, water, etc) T or F: Wildlife management is a combination of science and art similar to medicine or psychology in some ways Correct Answer-T Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Correct Answer-physiological, safety, love/belonging, este...

Acclimatization - Short-term, reversible adjustment to lessen the effect of an environmental change and associated stress. Can be physiological, morphological, or behavioral Adaptation - Any heritable trait (genetic) that enhances the survival and reproduction of an organism under a given set of environmental conditions. Can be physiological, morphological, or behavioral Aquatic Biological Zones - Precipitation is less important and temperatures fluctuate much less seasonally. Not based on...

What is physiology? Study of how organisms, organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the chemical or physical functions in an organism What is ecology? A holistic way of viewing nature in order to comprehend how those tangled ecosystems work by following and studying connections between all living and non living things Physiological ecology? How organisms function in their environment Dynamic process: evolution is ongoing Natural selection (benefit)? a process whereby an individual organism...
