This process involves an organism increasing in size and changing over time.
What is growth?
These are living parts of an ecosystem, like plants and animals.
What are biotic factors?
This adaptation involves physical features changing over time as a response to the environment.
What is a structural adaptation?
These animals eat only plants.
What are herbivores?
In this type of symbiosis, one species benefits at the expense of the other.
What is parasitism?
This characteristic of life ensures that species continue by producing offspring.
What is reproduction?
These biotic factors eat other organisms for energy.
What are consumers?
This type of adaptation involves actions animals take to survive.
What is a behavioral adaptation?
These animals eat only other animals.
What are carnivores?
In this type of symbiosis, both species benefit from the relationship.
What is mutualism?
This is how living things react to changes in their environment.
What is sensitivity?
These biotic factors make their own food using sunlight.
What are producers?
This structural adaptation helps animals blend in with their surroundings.
What is camouflage?
These animals eat both plants and animals.
What are omnivores?
In this type of symbiosis, one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
What is commensalism?
A predator hunts its prey for so it can eat and feed any offspring. This is an example of which characteristic?
What is nutrition?
These organisms break down dead material and recycle nutrients.
What are decomposers?
This behavioral adaptation involves animals sleeping through the winter to survive cold temperatures.
What is hibernation?
This term describes the movement of energy through a food chain or web.
What is energy flow?
This relationship where barnacles attach to a whale, gaining mobility while the whale is unaffected.
What is an example of commensalism?
Inside a cell, materials are enclosed in small sacs called vesicles. These vesicles move towards the outer edge of the cell and the material inside the vesicle is released. What characteristic of life is given here?
What is Excretion?
In a food web with grass, grasshopper, hawk, rabbit, and snake, this would be the top of the food chain.
What is the hawk?
This relationship between bees and flowers, where bees get nectar and flowers get pollinated.
What is mutualism?
