Trophic Levels
This type of organism is the start of a food chain, usually a plant.
What is a producer?
This is a single path of energy through organisms in an environment.
What is a food chain?
This is the molecule in the atmosphere in which you find carbon.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
This is when several organisms fight over the same resources.
What is competition?
This type of symbiosis has both organisms benefiting.
What is mutualism?
This type of organism is higher on a food chain than a producer, usually an animal.
What is a consumer?
This is multiple paths of energy through organisms in an environment.
What is a food web?
This is the process that takes carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere to make glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
This is a relationship where one organism kills and eats another organism.
What is predation?
This type of symbiosis has one organism benefits and the other organism is harmed.
What is parasitism?
This type of organism uses photosynthesis to make its own food (producer).
What is an autotroph?
This is the amount of energy that moves to the next organism in a food chain.
What is 10%?
This is the process that puts carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere by using glucose.
What is cellular respiration?
This is an organism that is killed for food.
What is prey?
This type of symbiosis has one organism benefits and the other organism is not affected.
What is commensalism?
This type of organism consumes other organisms (consumers).
What is a heterotroph?
This visual is used to show relationships between the different levels in a food chain or web.
What is a pyramid?
This is the molecule in the atmosphere in which you find nitrogen.
What is nitrogen gas (N2)?
This is an organism that kills and eats other organisms.
What is a predator?
This type of symbiosis is seen when a human has a cold.
What is parasitism?
This consumer breaks down organic matter in an environment recycling the nutrients, usually fungus or bacteria.
What is a decomposer?
This is the amount of energy that does not move to the next organism in a food chain, lost as heat.
What is 90%?
This is the process, done by bacteria, that takes nitrogen (N2) out of the atmosphere and makes it usable for life.
What is nitrogen fixation?
This is a relationship between two organisms where at least one organism benefits.
What is symbiosis?
This type of symbiosis is seen when a remora fish swims under a shark and feeds on the shark's food scraps.
What is commensalism?
