Food Webs
This group of organisms are known as autotrophs, or organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis.
What are producers?
What are abiotic factors?
This interaction is when both organisms benefit.
What is mutualism?
This is the largest level when it comes to organizing an ecosystem.
What is an ecosystem?
The decrease of this negatively affect ecosystems. This also refers to the variety of organisms in an ecosystem.
What is biodiversity?
The population of secondary consumers would (increase / decrease / stay the same) if the population of tertiary consumers decreased.
What is an INCREASE to the population of secondary consumers.
An introduced species and an invasive species have this in common.
This interaction is when one organism benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
This is the smallest level when it comes to organizing an ecosystem.
What is an individual?
Coal, oil, and natural gas are all examples of this. This also produces greenhouses gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat and increase global average temperatures.
What are fossil fuels?
The population of primary consumers would (increase / decrease / stay the same) if the population of tertiary consumers decreased.
What is a DECREASE to the population of primary consumers.
What makes an introduced specie an invasive specie?
The introduced specie begins to harm the native ecosystem and its species by taking their resources for their own.
What are resources?
Planting trees can help take this gas out from the atmosphere through a process called photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
These are the various actions human have taken to change the ecosystem.
What is various usages of land, water, other organisms, and pollution?
The population of secondary consumer's (prey / predators) would decrease if the population of tertiary consumers decreased.
What is a secondary consumer's PREY.
Explain how natural selection works.
When traits or characteristics that help an organism adapt and survive are passed down to future generations.
This type of competition occurs when organisms of the same species fight.
What is DIRECT INTRASPECIES competition.
Cellular respiration is also known as breathing, and uses oxygen to create these two products.
What are carbon dioxide and energy (aka ATP).
These are the various effects of human activity in different ecosystems.
What is habitat loss, specie endangerment and extinction, decreasing biodiversity, and other lethal, harmful effects.
Where does the energy for a food web start?
What is the SUN?
If the environment changes, these two things will happen to species over time.
What is species will DECREASE in population and genetically ADAPT to the environment.
As resources decrease, competition (increases / decreases / stays the same).Q
What is competition INCREASES.
What organism(s) performs cellular respiration?
What are AUTOTROPHS AND HETEROTROPHS.
This would happen to populations of rabbits if humans put laws to exclude baby rabbits from being hunted.
What is rabbits SUSTAINING or INCREASING in population?
