The process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring, leading to changes in the population over time.
a) Natural selection
b) Nutrient Cycling
c) Protein Structure
d) Protein Synthesis

A trait that has evolved through natural selection, increasing an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in its environment.
a) Adaptation
b) Genotype
c) Carrying Capacity
d) Biodiversity

Groups of individuals of the same species living in a specific area, capable of interbreeding.
a) Populations
b) Genetic Variation
c) Trophic Levels
d) Cellular Respiration

Living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and bacteria, which can influence the survival of species.
a) Biotic
b) Genetic Variation
c) Ecosystem
d) Human Impact

Non-living environmental factors, like temperature, light, and soil composition, that affect the survival and distribution of organisms.
a) Abiotic
b) Osmosis
c) Ecosystem
d) Biosphere

Communities of living organisms interacting with their physical environment, forming a system with biotic and abiotic components.
a) Ecosystems
b) Evolution
c) Carrying Capacity
d) Trophic Levels

The variation in temperature that occurs at different times of the year, which can influence species' survival and reproduction.
a) Seasonal temperature
b) Protein Structure
c) Mutation
d) Photosynthesis

Persistent changes in weather patterns over long periods, affecting ecosystems and the organisms within them.
a) Long-term climate change
b) Mitosis
c) DNA Replication
d) Chromatin

A measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, affecting the pH level, which can influence organisms' survival in different environments.
a) Acidity
b) Trophic Levels
c) ATP
d) Carrying Capacity

An abiotic factor that provides energy for photosynthesis in plants and influences various biological processes in organisms.
a) Light
b) Biodiversity
c) Evolution
d) Nutrient Cycling

Physical obstacles like mountains or rivers that prevent populations from interbreeding, leading to species divergence.
a) Geographic barriers
b) Ecosystem
c) Nitrogen Cycle
d) Natural Selection

The process by which different kinds of living organisms develop and diversify from earlier forms over time.
a) Evolution
b) Gene Expression
c) Natural Selection
d) Meiosis

The proportion of a particular gene variant (allele) in a population, which can change due to natural selection and lead to adaptation over time.
a) Gene frequency
b) Mitosis
c) Nutrient Cycling
d) Gene Expression
