una población que come organismos de otra población
Consumer population
población de consumidores

Cuando hay más nacimientos que muertes, las poblaciones
Increases
aumentar

What is Ms. Werner's first name?
Charlotte

Scientists have been studying the size of three populations in a grassland. In this ecosystem, lizards eat fireflies, and fireflies eat gnats (a type of insect). The data showed that all three populations were stable. Then the lizard population decreased suddenly. What will most likely happen to the size of the firefly population as a result?
Increase. The smaller lizard population will need fewer energy storage molecules so they will eat fewer fireflies. This will lead to fewer deaths than births in the firefly population.

How would a decrease in sea turtles affect the moon jelly population?
Fewer sea turtles would eat fewer moon jellies, leading to fewer deaths. Moon jelly deaths would decrease overall.

a population that is eaten by organisms from another population
una población de la cual comen los organismos de otra población
Resource population
población recurso

Decreases
disminuye

In Australia, both opossums and foxes eat rats. The sizes of the populations have been stable for the last 12 years, but recently the size of the opossum population increased. What will likely happen to the fox population?
decrease. Fewer energy storage molecules will be available to the fox population from the smaller rat population, so the fox population will reproduce less. This will lead to fewer births than deaths in the fox population.

What does the arrow in a food web represent?
The arrow represents the movement of ESMs throughout a food web. ESMs move from resource populations to consumer populations.
300
The process of creating more offspring
el proceso de generar descendencia
Reproduction
reproducción
300
Same number of births and deaths
Mismo número de nacimientos y muertes
Population size stays stable
El tamaño de la población se mantiene estable
300
What are our school colors?
Red, White and black
300
In this food web, if the Walleye Pollock population decreases, what happens to the Moon Jelly Population and why?
En esta red alimentaria, si la población de Walleye Pollock disminuye,
It will increase due to an increase in resource populations
Aumentará debido a un aumento en las poblaciones de recursos.
300
In the Arctic Ocean, sharks eat whales, and whales eat crabs. In the last 10 years, the sizes of the populations have been stable, but recently the size of the crab population increased. What will likely happen to the shark population?
Increase. More energy storage molecules will be available to the shark population from the larger whale population, so the shark population will reproduce more. This will lead to more births than deaths in the shark population.
400
a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive
una molécula que los organismos pueden usar para liberar la energía que necesitan para sobrevivir
Energy storage molecules
molécula de almacenamiento de energía
400
Organisms in consumer populations get energy storage molecules from eating organisms in ____________ __________.
Los organismos de las poblaciones consumidoras obtienen moléculas de almacenamiento de energía al comer organismos en ____________ __________.
Resource populations
Poblaciones de recursos
400
What is the name of the owner of the toys in the movie Toy Story?
Andy
400
Which two are in competition?
¿Cuáles dos están en competencia?
Moon jellies and Walleye Pollock
Jaleas lunares y Walleye Pollock
400
In North America, both bears and eagles eat trout. The sizes of the populations have been stable for the last 9 years, but recently the size of the eagle population decreased. What will likely happen to the bear population?
increase. More energy storage molecules will be available to the bear population from the larger trout population, so the bear population will reproduce more. This will lead to more births than deaths in the bear population.
500
when two or more populations use the same resource, such as the same food source
cuando dos o más poblaciones usan el mismo recurso, por ejemplo, la misma fuente de alimento
Competition
competencia
500
Two populations can compete for the same resource population. A change to one of these populations___________________________________________.
Dos poblaciones pueden competir por la misma población de recursos. Un cambio a una de estas poblaciones___________________________________________.
affects the size of the other.
afecta el tamaño del otro.

What is Mr. Tenaglia's first name?
Steven
500
Why does increasing the resource population increase the consumer population?
The consumer will have more energy storage molecules which will increase births.

Scientists have been studying the size of three populations in Peru. In this ecosystem, pumas (large wild cats) eat deer, and deer eat grass. The data showed that all three populations were stable. Then the puma population increased suddenly. What will most likely happen to the size of the deer population as a result?
decrease. The larger puma population will need more energy storage molecules, so they will eat more deer. This will lead to more deaths than births in the deer population.
