flower, cactus and bacteria are examples of..
What is biotic factors
100
The 3 symbiotic relationships that exist are....
What is commensalism, mutualism and parasitism
100
This characteristic of living things allow an organism to eliminate waste and exchange gases
Homeostasis
100
The way energy travels from 1 organism to another is shown in a...
What is a food chain?
100
A food chain always starts off with a..... give an example of it.
What is producer: plants, algae
200
examples of abiotic factors are...
What are rocks, oxygen and dust
200
What is a symbiotic relationship?
What is a relationship between 2 organisms where at least one organism benefits
200
What are the 7 characteristics that all living things possess?
1. All living things are made up of cells 2. Reproduction 3. Interdependence 4. Evolution 5. Growth 6. Homeostasis 7. Eat/Need Energy
200
Plants are classified as producers because they obtain energy through the process of...
What is photosynthesis
200
3 examples of decomposers are...
What is worms, fungi and bacteria
300
True or False. Biotic things include organism that were once alive, but are now dead.
What is true.
300
Parasitism is....
What is a relationship between an organism that benefits and another that is harmed
300
Explain the different ways that organisms like producers, consumers versus decomposers get energy.
Producers-make own food through photosynthesis (SUN) Consumers-eat their energy/food Decomposers-break down dead remains to get energy
300
There are 3 types of consumers, name and describe all 3.
What are herbivores (eat plants, fruits/nuts), carnivores (eat meat) and omnivores (eat both meat and plants/nuts)
300
Which out of the 3 types of living organisms (consumer, producers or decomposers) is there the most of in an energy pyramid?
What is producer
400
If a non-living things possess a characteristic of life, does that mean it is living? If your answer is no, give an example.
Ice or dust grows, however they aren't living things.
400
Your pet dog/cat and yourself may be an example of what type of symbiotic relationship? Why? (explain)
What is mutualism because pet may give you peace, company and pet gets a home, food etc
400
Is a branch on the ground biotic or abiotic?
Answers may vary. Biotic because it came from a once living thing (tree,bush etc).
400
What happens to the energy as you go UP an energy pyramid? Why?
What is it decreases, because the organisms need to use some energy to live.
400
hummingbirds getting nectar from a flower is an example of which symbiotic relationship? explain specifically.
What is mutualism both benefitting (bird gets food, flower gets pollinated)
500
Organisms are classified in 3 ways (think food chain)...Name and explain where they would come in a food chain.
Producers, Herbivores, Carnivores/Omnivores, Decomposers
500
What is a specific example of commensalism?
What is where one organism is benefitting and the other is not harmed. Answers may vary.
500
How would you relate symbiosis to any of the 7 characteristics of living things?
Interdependence and Evolution could be related to symbiosis. Answers may vary.

Looking at the grassland (http://mamontoff.org/SCIENCE%20food-web-grassland-ecosystem.jpeg) food web, what 2 organisms will be affected if the lizard population gets a disease and dies? Explain.
What is the hawk/eagle population will decrease because its food source would not be there, also the grasshopper population would increase because it will have 1 less predator to hide from.
500
Where would producers be located in an energy pyramid? Explain what an energy pyramid is showing us? How that energy is different from the top of the pyramid to the bottom?
An energy pyramid shows how energy is being distributed through a food chain, specifically decreasing at about 10% every level. Producers start off a food chain, so they would be located on the bottom of an energy pyramid, since they have the most energy.
