The relationship between two different organisms over a long period of time.
What is symbiosis?
How a food pyramid illustrates the amount of energy used in an ecosystem.
What is the energy decreases as you move up?
How a food web or chain illustrates energy in an ecosystem.
What is the flow of energy by arrows?
Shelter, nutrients, space, sunlight, and water
What are limiting factors of a natural ecosystem?
The type of relationships shown in the food web.
What are feeding relationships?
Relationship where one organism benefits and the other does not care.
What is commensalism?

What is the decomposer/fungi?
A synonym for what carbon dioxide is in an ecosystem. (a category of a limiting factor)
What is abiotic?
The animal that gets the least amount of energy in the food web.
What is the lion or kite? (because they are tertiary consumers)
