What does biotic mean?
Living or once lived (died)
Which relationship has one organism who benefits while the other is hurt?
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Parasitism
True or False: Temperature and weather (like a hailstorm) are biotic.
False. Temperature and weather, including ice and rain, are abiotic (non-living)
How is parasitism different from mutualism?
Parasites hurt its host, but mutuals both benefit from the relationship.
Two male bucks fighting for a deer, is an example of which kind of symbiotic relationship?
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Competition
What does abiotic mean?
Which type of relationship has both organisms benefiting?
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Mutualism
True or false: If new predators move into an ecosystem, then competition for biotic factors will increase.
True. Competition for biotic factors like food will increase as there are more predators hunting.
How are predator/prey relationships different from competition?
A mosquito biting a human, is an example of which type of symbiotic relationship?
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Parasitism
Describe an interaction of a biotic factor and an abiotic factor in a lake.
Ms. Houston will check your answers (Ex: A fish swimming in the water)
What type of relationship has one organism hunting/eating the other?
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Predatory
True or false: Mutualism is where both species are harmed.
False. Both species benefit (help) each other.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
How is commensalism different from mutualism?
Commensals benefit while their host is unaffected, but both mutuals benefit.
A fish catching a ride on a shark is an example of which symbiotic relationship?
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Commensalism
Give an example of organisms competing for an abiotic factor
Ms. Houston will check your answers (Example:Plants competing for water in a drought)
Which type of relationship has one organism benefiting and the other is unaffected.
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Commensalism
True or false: Trees growing sparsely is an abiotic factor.
False. Trees are living so it is a biotic factor.
How is parasitism different from predatory relationships?
Parasites hurt their hosts but need them alive, while predators kill their prey in order to eat and survive.
List at 3 things in this picture that are abiotic.
Temperature, Sun, Snow, Cloud, Sky, Air, Water, Ice, Metal (Boat), Igloo (Shelter)
Give an example of biotic factors fighting for biotic factors.
Ms. Houston will check your answers. (Ex: Two birds fighting over seeds)
Which relationship has two or more organisms fighting for the same resources?
(Parasitism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, or Predatory)
Competition
True or False: A lion and zebra are competitors.
False: A lion is a predator and the zebra is its prey.
How is commensalism and competition different?
Commensals benefit while their host is unaffected, but competitors are fighting each other for the same resource.
List 3 biotic factors in this picture.
Eskimos (Native Alaskan People), Fish, Polar bears, Penguins, Walrus, Whale, Narwhal, Shark, Pelican, Seagulls (birds)
