What is parasitism?
This characteristic of life ensures that species continue by producing offspring.
What is reproduction?
These biotic factors eat other organisms for energy.
What are consumers?
This type of adaptation involves actions animals take to survive.
What is a behavioral adaptation?
These animals eat only other animals.
What are carnivores?
In this type of symbiosis, both species benefit from the relationship.
What is mutualism?
This is how living things react to changes in their environment.
What is sensitivity?
These biotic factors make their own food using sunlight.
What are producers?

These organisms break down dead material and recycle nutrients.
What are decomposers?

What is hibernation?
This term describes the movement of energy through a food chain or web.
What is energy flow?
This relationship where barnacles attach to a whale, gaining mobility while the whale is unaffected.
What is an example of commensalism?
Inside a cell, materials are enclosed in small sacs called vesicles. These vesicles move towards the outer edge of the cell and the material inside the vesicle is released. What characteristic of life is given here?
What is Excretion?
In a food web with grass, grasshopper, hawk, rabbit, and snake, this would be the top of the food chain.
