Trophic Levels
This trophic level consists of organisms that make their own food and is the start of a food chain or a food web.
What is a primary producer?
Term that refers to an organisms that only consumes plants.
What is an herbivore?
This relationship benefits one organism but the other is harmed. Ex. A dog and a tick.
What is parasitism?
Usually, the energy that does not move up the energy pyramid is turned into ____.
What is heat?
True or false: Matter is recycled when plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen for humans to turn it into carbon dioxide again.
This term refers to all the organisms of the same species that live in the same area at the same time.
What is population?
True or false? If an organism can be classified as a secondary consumer, it will always be a secondary consumer.
Term that refers to organisms that only consume meat.
What is a carnivore?
This relationship benefits one organism but the other is neither harmed or benefited. Ex. The pearl fish and the sea cucumber.
What is commensalism?
The percent of energy that does move up the energy pyramid.
What is 10%?
True or false: Oxygen must be destroyed for carbon dioxide to be created.
What is false?
Name a limiting factor.
What is food/ water/ shelter/ sunlight/ predators/ etc.?
This trophic level that consist or organisms that receive energy from organisms that make their own food.
What is primary consumer?
Term that refers to organisms that rely on other organisms for food.
What is a heterotroph/consumer?
This relationship is where prey is eaten by another organism.
What is predation?
This is what the Law of Conservation of Energy states.
What is energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed?
The process in which sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide create glucose and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
This term refers to a group or organisms that have similar traits and are able to produce fertile offspring.
What is species?
What is tertiary consumer?
Term that refers to an organism that eats both plants and animals.
What is an omnivore?
This relationship benefits both organisms. Ex. The sun fish and the cleaner fish.
What is mutualism?
The percentage of energy that does not move up the energy pyramid.
What is 90%?
This is what the Law of Conservation of Matter states.
What is matter cannot be created or destroyed?
This term refers to all the populations of different species that live together in the same area at the same time.
What is community?
This trophic level consists of an organism that gives energy to the top predator of a food web or food chain.
What is a secondary consumer?
Term that refers to organism that can make their own food.
What is an autotroph/producer?
Term that refers to any type of a close and long-term interaction between two organisms of different species.
What is symbiosis/ symbiotic relationship?
The reason why a large percentage of energy does not move up the energy pyramid?
What is those organisms need the energy to perform daily activities?
The process in which glucose is turned into ATP and carbon dioxide.
What is cellular respiration?
This terms refers to controlling the population. In other words, the reason why populations cannot continue growing at an exponential rate.
What are limiting factors?
