Food Web / Chain
Food chain or food web:
Grass --> rabbit --> wolf
Organism that only eats other animals
Carnivore
What type of interaction is shown in this scenario:
Fire ants swarming and carrying earthworms, caterpillars, and insect eggs to their anthills
Predator Prey
Biotic or Abiotic:
When the moose population is high on Isle Royale, the wolves have more food source from preying on the moose. This supports an increase in the wolf population.
Biotic
Is a megalodon considered a carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore?
Carnivore
What is at the bottom of food webs or food chains
producers / plants
any living thing that has an effect on an ecosystem
Biotic factor
What type of interaction is being shown in this scenario:
The nearly blind shrimp and the fish spend most of their time together. The shrimp maintains a burrow in the sand in which both the fish and shrimp live. When a predator comes near, the fish touches the shrimp with its tail as a warning. Then, both fish and shrimp retreat to the burrow until the predator is gone.
Mutualism
Biotic or Abiotic
Strong winds have caused most plants to be removed from the ground, causing a decrease in animal life.
Abiotic

invasive species
What type of interaction is being shown in this scenario:
Hermit crabs use the shells of dead snails for homes.
Commensalism
