100

This is the largest ecological level and includes all living things on Earth. 

What is the biosphere?

100

This aquatic biome has a high salt concentration and includes oceans and seas.

What is a marine biome?

100

Both organisms benefit from the interaction.

What is mutualism?

100

During respiration, organisms take in this gas to convert glucose into energy. 

 What is oxygen?

100

Rock is left over in this type of succession.

.

What is primary succession?

200

This ecological level includes all populations living together in an area.

What is a community?

200

This wetland biome accumulates dead plant material

 What is a bog?

200

This interaction occurs when two organisms compete for the same resource, such as food or space

What is competition?

200

Plants capture this gas and release this gas during photosynthesis

What is carbon dioxide and oxygen?

200

 This type of succession occurs where fertile soil already exists

What is secondary succession?

300

A group of organisms of the same species living in the same place at the same time.

What is a population?

300

This forest biome lacks seasonal climate but can have wet and dry seasons.

What is a tropical forest?

300

Daily double for 700 points! A barnacle attached to a whale gets transportation and access to food, while the whale is unaffected.


What is commensalism?

300

This cycle primarily occurs through soil and plants.

What is the phosphorus cycle?

300

Glacier movement and volcanic activity can lead to this type of succession.

 What is primary succession?

400

This level includes interactions between biotic and abiotic factors.

What is an ecosystem?

400

This wetland biome is dominated by trees.

 What is a swamp?

400

In a coral reef, clownfish are protected by sea anemones while helping keep them clean. 

 What is mutualism?

400

This shows how energy moves from one organism to the next using lines.

 

What is a food chain?

400

These organisms are usually the first to colonize an area and break down rocks during primary succession. 

What are pioneer species?

500

Put these in order from largest to smallest: population, biosphere, community, organism, ecosystem.

What is biosphere → ecosystem → community → population → organism?

500

Name the 4 biomes

What is aquatic biome, forest biome, grassland biome, wetland biome?

500

Of the 4 ecological interactions (Commensalism, competition, predation, and mutualism) which 2 are positive and which 2 are negative?

What is Commensalism and Mutualism (positive) / Predation and Competition (negative)?

500

Name the 4 ways nitrogen fixation can occur.

What are Peanuts (legumes), algae, lightning, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria?

500

Daily Double for 700 points! Name the Do's and Don'ts of State Wildlife agencies.

Do: Has authority over all wildlife which resides in the state

Don't: migratory birds, marine fish and endangered species are managed by the federal government.
