Types of organisms
A consumer that is in the upper section of the food chain that feeds on other animals
predator
A leech feeds of the blood of a bear.
Parastisim
A group of living organisms consisting of similar organisms.
Species
The Bobcats eat most of the rabbits. What will happen to the grass now that the rabbits aren’t there to eat them?
The Grass Population will decrease.
An animal that eats other animals, specifically those that have already eaten primary consumers and secondary consumers.
Tertitary Consumers
A consumer that is at the bottom of the food chain that mainly feeds on plants and is the resource of food for other consumers.
prey
An Oxpecker eats the ticks off of a Rhino.
Mutualism
A particular section, group, or type of animals living in an area.
Population
Most of the Lion population dies out because of diseases. What is going to happen to the Gazelles now that the lions are gone?
The Gazelle population will increase
An animal that primarily eats primary consumers, which are typically herbivores.
Secondary Consumers
An Organisim that makes its own food using help from the sun.
Producer
A bird nests in a Oak tree.
Commensalism
A group of animals living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.
Community
The Wolf population decreases due to deforestation and they have to migrate. The wolf’s population decreases from the long travel to find a new home. Now that the wolfs have left the forest what will happen to the other animals?
The other populations will increase very fast and eventually the other predators will die due to overpopulation of prey.
Organisms that directly feed on producers, primarily plants and algae, and occupy the second trophic level in a food web.
Primary Consumers
An Organisim that gets its food by eating other living organisims.
Comsumer
A Lion chases down and kills a Gazelle for food.
Predation
The natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism.
Habitat
An ocelot and bobcat live in the same area. They both eat the same food. The ocelot are becoming endangered. Why is that?
Because the bobcat is getting all the food and the ocelot gets nothing, therefore the ocelot starves.
An animal that feeds on plants.
Herbivore
An organisms role/what they do.
Niche
A Remora fish rides on a shark and eats the dead skin cells, and does not hurt the shark and helps the remora by feeding it.
Mutualisim
An individual animal, plant, or life form.
Organisim
If two predators are after the same prey and live in the same environment, what will happen to their prey?
Their prey’s population will decrease since two different other populations are going for the same prey.
An animal that feeds on flesh.
