Living?
A non-living organism in an ecosystem
What is an Abiotic Factor
This eats producers
What is a primary consumer
This is the source of all energy on earth.
What is the sun
This takes over an ecosystem and is not native to that environment
What is a invasive species
the living and non-living things in the environment surrounding an organism
What is an ecosystem
A living organism in an ecosystem
What is a Biotic factor
this will break down dead animals or plants
What is a decomposer
These are organisms that make their own food and are after the sun in a food chain.
What are producers
These are one of the first organisms to come in with primary succession.
What are lichens?
The kudzu vine was introduced to this country in the late 1800s. Today, it can be found in many Southern states. Kudzu eventually kills other plants it covers because it blocks out sunlight. Kudzu has been reported to grow roughly 1 ft per day. Kudzu must be this type of species.
What is invasive because it takes over.
Weather, sunlight, climate, and water are all these types of factors.
Abiotic
A herd of elephants, zebras, and lions would be considered a
What is a community
A swarm of bees is considered this.
What is a population
This is what a niche is
A role that an organism has in its ecosystem
In which ways would doubling a region’s human population most likely change the environment
It would destroy more habitats.
Factors such as water, food, and space could be considered this type of factor.
What are limiting factors?
This is the variety of living things in an area
What is biodiversity
This is the amount of energy that is lost as you move up the energy pyramid
What is 10% each level
This type of niche is better because it has multiple things or roles that the organism can take such as it eats more than just one type of plant or it can survive in multiple locations
What is broad niche
Organism that makes its own food through photosynthesis.
What is a Producer
Why do we need predators in our ecosystem?
Because without predators we have would have too much prey.
If an insect species lives in only a certain type of plant and that plant is removed, this is part of the insect’s life is affected
What is the niche?
The difference between primary and secondary succession.
primary is bare rock with no soil for life to grow
secondary there is soil that can fulfill life but it needs gradual growth to have a successful ecosystem.
Organism that obtains nutrients from dead organisms around it.
What is a decomposer
