This property of ecosystems allows ecosystems to better survive the introduction of new species or the loss of a current species

Biodiversity

The eagle in this ecosystem must get some of its energy from this species

The snake

Hurricanes can often lead to disease by causing an increase in this species in their aftermath

Mosquitoes

From the inside to the outside, the words COMMUNITY, ECOSYSTEM, ORGANISM, and POPULATION should be added to this diagram in this order:

From smallest to largest circle: Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem

The relationship between whales and barnacles is described using this word

Commensalism

Describe (write out) one valid food chain within this marine food web:

Rank the following environments from highest to lowest biodiversity:

1. A farmer's field

2. A perfectly mowed lawn

3. A pond at a city park

4. A wooded area near the river


From highest to lowest biodiversity:

4. A wooded area near the river

These species would be negatively affected if herrings disappeared from this food web, and this one species would be affected the most

Tuna, seals, cod, and dogfish, with dogfish being affected the most

A food web is concerned with how these types of factors may interact with each other:

Biotic Factors

200

This trophic level must receive its energy directly from producers

Primary consumers

300

A garden or a backyard is neglected (ignored) for an entire year and this will begin to happen

Secondary succession (growth of weeds, grasses, etc.)

300

We know this type of succession is occurring for this reason

This is secondary succession because the disturbance left soil behind

Overgrowths of algae called algal blooms can threaten aquatic ecosystems and are caused by runoff from human agriculture.  This strategy/policy by local governments would prevent algal blooms in the future.  (Best answer ONLY wins)

Best answer ONLY wins!

In aquatic ecosystems, this plant-like organism is usually at the base of each food chain

Algae

This is how plants receive carbon, while this is how animals receive carbon (must get both answers correct)

Plants can take their carbon (CO2) from the air during photosynthesis

Animals must consume other organisms to receive carbon (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc.)
