(Invasive Species)
(Invasive Species)
This type of organism breaks down detritus to create nutrient rich material for plants
What is a Decomposer
This is made up of biotic and abiotic factors
What is an ecosystem
This relationship has one organism eating another
What is a predator-prey relationship
This is a visual that shows which organisms eat others in a single line
What is a food chain
This is a sample area that scientists use to determine population sizes and abiotic factor levels.
What is a transect
Daily Double - These organisms compete for resources with native species, may not have predators, may reduce oxygen levels and create an excess of waste.
What is an invasive species
CO2, H20 and sunlight are required for this process to happen.
What is photosynthesis
This type of relationship benefits both organisms
What is mutualism
This is a visual that includes many food chains
What is a food web
These arrows show a transfer of energy in a food web
What are solid-lined arrows
DAILY DOUBLE - Zebra Mussels that came from a European lake to the United States are an example of this type of organism
What is an introduced species
What is a biotic factor
DAILY DOUBLE - This type of relationship benefits one organism and doesn't impact the other
What is commensalism
This diagram shows the flow of energy among organisms
What is an energy pyramid
DAILY DOUBLE - These three needs should be considered when identifying criteria and constraints
What are environmental, economic and social needs.
These three categories/methods are used in eliminating invasive species
What are Chemical, Mechanical and Biological
This type of organism can create sugar that other types of organisms cannot
What are producers
This occurs when two organisms fight for the same resources.
What is competition
This moves through organisms, does not originate from the Sun and is not lost when an organism is consumed
What is matter
This describes what you may not get when trying to solve a problem and reach a goal.
What is a trade off
These six are specific ways to eliminate invasive species.
What are Chlorine, Potassium Chloride, Screening, Scraping, Bacteria and Predation
What is an abiotic factor
This close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms is seen in ecosystems.
What is symbiotic
This concept has 10% of the energy being transferred to an organism when eating another organism.
What is the 90% rule
This describes the requirements or what you want to gain when reaching your goal
What are criteria
