What is the movement of energy?
The type of consumer Amphipods are.
What is a Secondary Consumer? (Or Carnivore)
The type of biodiversity that makes an ecosystem more sustainable.
What is high biodiversity?
The type of succession that begins on bare rock.
What is primary succession?
The reason fewer mosses would reappear in an ecosystem after a disaster changed their environment.
The Pronghorn is an organism native to North Texas and feeds mainly on prairie grass.
This is they type of relationship shown between a Pronghorn and prairie grass.
What is a Producer-Consumer relationship?
Predators of Shrews
What are Lynx, Red-tailed hawks, and Red foxes?
A species that has no natural predators in an ecosystem and can threaten natural biodiversity.
What is an invasive species?
The type of succession that occurs when soil is already present.
What is secondary succession?
A change in fur color caused by melting of glaciers and polar ice caps.
What are organisms with less white fur and more brown fur?
The predator of bats
What are snakes and owls?
Prey animals shown here.
What are elk, rabbits, mice, crickets, and frogs?
This type of biodiversity means an ecosystem is less likely to have enough species that can adapt after a natural disaster.
What is low biodiversity?
The type of succession that takes longer.
What is primary succession?
The cause of algal blooms and other producer populations growing out of control in aquatic ecosystems.
The food web in which Fox squirrels are predators to Insects and prey to Bobcats, Snakes, and Owls.
What is B?
The Trophic Level of Snappers.
What are both Secondary and Tertiary Consumer?
The ecosystem that is more sustainable if Cottontails are removed, and why.
What is A, because it is more biodiverse? (Or because the predators of Cottontails have more food options available.)
The pioneer species that are present in primary succession.
What are lichens and moss?
An area in the ocean with less available oxygen, leading to less chance for commercial fishing.
What is a dead zone?
Organisms that are in BOTH a Producer-Consumer relationship, AND a Predatory-Prey relationship.
What are 2, 5, and 7?
Three organisms that consume the same producer.
What are butterflies, mice, and grasshoppers?
The removal of this organism would have the greatest impact on biodiversity.
What are grasses?
The name for the stable, biodiverse ecosystem present at the end of succession, when no new disasters have occurred.
What is the climax community?
Two ways to restore biodiversity to an oceanic ecosystem that has been negatively impacted by humans.
What are building artificial reefs and limiting fishing?
