Ecosystems
This type of organism produces its own energy
Producer/Autotroph
The bottom trophic level of a biomass pyramid can be one of these two types of organisms:
Decomposer or Producer
Plants gain their energy through a process called:
Photosynthesis
Food webs are made of many smaller:
Food chains
Mechanical control produces lots of ___ which drives native organisms away.
Noise pollution
This type of organism is at the top of the food chain
Apex predator
The top trophic level of a biomass pyramid is called:
Apex predator
This type of energy is produced in cellular respiration
Chemical energy
A beetle rides on top of a turtle's shell, and eats small pieces of dirt off the shell at the same time. This is an example of:
Mutualism
A species invades a new ecosystem, but we do not know if it is harmful, helpful, or neither. We would refer to this organism as a:
Non-native species
This type of consumer eats both plants and animals. The answer is not omnivore!
Secondary consumer
An organism that eats producers is what trophic level
Second trophic level
This type of energy is required in photosynthesis:
Light/radiant energy
An interaction is described with the following notation: +0. What type of interaction is this?
Commensalism
Chemical control is commonly used in home gardens because it is:
Cheap/cost effective
This type of consumer eats only plants. The answer is not herbivore!
Primary consumer
As you move up a biomass pyramid, only this amount of energy is transferred from the previous level:
10%
Cellular respiration occurs here, which is why it is called the powerhouse of the cell:
Mitochondria
A coyote eats a rabbit that is already dead. What type of interaction is this?
Predation
Of the three types of invasive species control, this type is considered the riskiest:
Biological control
Without this type of organism, dead organic material would not break down.
Decomposer/detritivore
A biomass pyramid has the following structure: wheatgrass (Producer) -> mouse (primary consumer) -> fox (secondary consumer).
What trophic level is the fox on?
Third trophic level
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle in plants:
Chloroplast
The way that a tick interacts with humans is referred to as:
Parasitism
This type of invasive species control is considered the most harmful for the environment:
Chemical control
