Parasitism
The level that has the least amount of energy (based on our class)

Through what process does an organism become carbon in the ground after it dies
Fossilization
A teacher at Sanford Middle Schools asks their students to listen and on the first try all the students get quiet. This gives the students more work time and the teacher less headaches. What kind of relationship is this?
Mutualism (+,+)
The Grand Canyon contains organisms like Fern Bushes, Blue jays, Rattle Snakes, and Peregrin Falcons. This type of organism recycles the energy from the organisms above when they die.
