Vocabulary
This is the study of the interactions that take place among organisms in their environment.
What is ecology?
This is each layer on the energy pyramid
What is a trophic level?
This is when both species benefit from the interaction.
What is mutualism?
These are living things within an ecosystem
What are biotic factors?
This is a type of biome we can find locally.
What is the temperate forest?
These are the non-living parts of an ecosystem
What are abiotic factors?
These are the three different types of consumers and what they eat.
What are carnivores (meat eaters), omnivore (vegetable and meat eaters), and herbivore (plant eaters)?
This is when one species benefits while the other gets nothing out of the interaction.
What is commensalism?
The level of atmospheric oxygen would be this kind of factor.
What is abiotic?
This is the coldest biome with peromafront and low shrubs.
What is the tundra?
This is the reason why decomposers are important to the environment.
What is they convert molecules of dead organisms into permanent biotic parts of an ecosystem?
This is when one species benefits while the other is harmed in the interaction.
What is parasitism?
The number of autotrophs is an example of this factor.
What is biotic?
This will most likely occur if two different plant species compete for the same requirements in an ecosystem.
What is one species may be eliminated from that ecosystem?
These are the large geographic areas with similar climates and ecosystems.
What are biomes?
This is where the energy for use by organisms in the lowest trophic level of an energy pyramid comes from.
What is the sun?
A remore attaching itself to a shark to get leftover food is an example of this.
What is commensalism?
The salt content of water is an example of this factor.
What is abiotic?
This is the largest land biome with cold, snowy winters and coniferous trees.
What is the Taiga?
These are the unique ways an organism survives, obtains food and shelter, and avoids danger
These are organisms that are able to manufacture organic nutrients from substances in the abiotic environment
What are autotrophs?
Telapia eating the feces of hippos in a tank is an example of this.
What is mutualism?
The activity of decomposers would be an example of this kind of factor.
What is biotic?
This biome includes the prairies of North America and the savannas of Africa.
What are grasslands?
