Food Chain/Food Web
This is made up of many connected food chains in an ecosystem.
Food Webs
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
What is interspecific competition?
Competition that occurs between the same species.
What symbiotic relationship takes place when one organism benefits and the other is harmed
Parasitic/Parasitism
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Water (H20)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Sunlight
In a food web and food chains, arrows show the direction that this moves between organisms.
Energy
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
Water
ATP Energy
Two deer fighting over mates is an example of this type of competition and how do you know?
Intraspecific competition
The relationship where one organism benefits and the other is eaten.
Predator prey/ Predation
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose (C6H12O6)
Oxygen (O2)
This organism breaks down dead plants and animals, returning nutrients to the soil.
Decomposers
Where does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
This gas is released during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
Oxygen
A bird eats insects off a cow’s back. The bird gets food, and the cow gets rid of pests.
What organelle does photosynthesis take place in?
Chloroplast
This level includes top predators that have no natural enemies in the food web.
Apex Predator
How does cellular respiration help Photosynthesis?
Creates the carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis to use.
What removes nitrogen from the atmosphere?
Bacteria in the soil and/or Lightning fixes nitrogen.
This is a close relationship between two different species living together.
Symbiosis
What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
To create glucose
How much energy would a tertiary consumer get from the producer?
How does photosynthesis help cellular respiration?
It creates the glucose and oxygen to begin the process
There is a small population of deer in a meadow with limited food. One spring, heavy rains and mild weather cause the grass, bushes, and freshwater sources to increase. With more food and water available, more deer are able to survive and reproduce. Over time, the meadow can now support a larger herd. What does this mean for the carrying capacity?
There is an increase in carrying capacity.
A plant grows on a tree to reach sunlight, but does not harm the tree
Commensalism
What is photosynthesis roll in the carbon cycles?
Removes oxygen from the atmosphere
