Ecological Levels
This is the largest ecological level and includes all living things on Earth.
What is the biosphere?
This aquatic biome has a high salt concentration and includes oceans and seas.
What is a marine biome?
Both organisms benefit from the interaction.
What is mutualism?
During respiration, organisms take in this gas to convert glucose into energy.
What is oxygen?
Rock is left over in this type of succession.
.
What is primary succession?
This ecological level includes all populations living together in an area.
What is a community?
This wetland biome accumulates dead plant material.
What is a bog?
This interaction occurs when two organisms compete for the same resource, such as food or space
What is competition?
Plants capture this gas and release this gas during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide and oxygen?
This type of succession occurs where fertile soil already exists.
What is secondary succession?
A group of organisms of the same species living in the same place at the same time.
What is a population?
This forest biome lacks seasonal climate but can have wet and dry seasons.
What is a tropical forest?
Daily double for 700 points! A barnacle attached to a whale gets transportation and access to food, while the whale is unaffected.
What is commensalism?
This cycle primarily occurs through soil and plants.
What is the phosphorus cycle?
Glacier movement and volcanic activity can lead to this type of succession.
What is primary succession?
This level includes interactions between biotic and abiotic factors.
What is an ecosystem?
This wetland biome is dominated by trees.
What is a swamp?
In a coral reef, clownfish are protected by sea anemones while helping keep them clean.
What is mutualism?
This shows how energy moves from one organism to the next using lines.
What is a food chain?
These organisms are usually the first to colonize an area and break down rocks during primary succession.
What are pioneer species?
Put these in order from largest to smallest: population, biosphere, community, organism, ecosystem.
What is biosphere → ecosystem → community → population → organism?
Name the 4 biomes
What is aquatic biome, forest biome, grassland biome, wetland biome?
Of the 4 ecological interactions (Commensalism, competition, predation, and mutualism) which 2 are positive and which 2 are negative?
What is Commensalism and Mutualism (positive) / Predation and Competition (negative)?
Name the 4 ways nitrogen fixation can occur.
What are Peanuts (legumes), algae, lightning, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Daily Double for 700 points! Name the Do's and Don'ts of State Wildlife agencies.
Do: Has authority over all wildlife which resides in the state
Don't: migratory birds, marine fish and endangered species are managed by the federal government.
