In this competition, the fight is within the same species
intraspecies
Partnership between two organisms that is long term.
Symbiosis
This level includes all the individuals of the same species that live in a specific area.
Population
Level of differences within a given species
genetic diversity
An organism that hunts, kills, and eats other organisms
What is a predator
Competition is usually due to a lack of these.
Resources
Nonliving things
Abiotic
In this competition, the fighting is with different species.
Interspecies
These relationships have interactions where both organisms benefit
This level includes all individual living things.
Organism
The number of different species within a specific region or area.
species diversity
Removing predators from an ecosystem will do this.
Create an imbalance, destroy the ecosystem, cause populations of prey to increase
Partnerships between two organisms can be these 3 things
positive, negative, neutral
Living things
biotic
Animals compete for these 4 things. (must get all 4 correct)
food, water, space, shelter, mates
These relationships are beneficial to one organism but does not harm or help the other.
Commensalism
This is the part of Earth that contains all living things.
biosphere
Variety of ecosystems in a region or area.
Ecosystem diversity
Relationship where one animal hunts and kills other animals for food.
Predation
This is an example of ________
Parasitic relationship
The study of organisms and how they interact with the environment.
Ecology
This is an example of _______ competition
Intraspecies
This is an example of a ______ relationship
Commensalism
This level is where all of the living and non-living components interact with each other.
What are ecosystems?

Near the Equator

What is a consumer?
This is an example of __________
Mutualistism
This level plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of Earth's systems by providing air, water, and food.
Biosphere
This is an example of __________ competition
Interspecies
This is an example of a ______ relationship
Parasitic
This level contains places categorized by weather and rainfall. (Tundra, desert, etc)
Biomes
Areas with high diversity and multiple species that fulfill niches are considered _________ and _______
healthy and stable
The population of rabbits has a massive increase; what effect is this going to have on the nearby vegetation & predators (like fox)
Increase predator and decrease vegetation
Almost 50% of all species on Earth are involved in this kind of relationship.
Parasitic
In this level of organization, there are competition for resources, predation, and symbiosis among populations.
