Succession
Levels of Organization
Symbiosis
The Food Web
Miscellaneous
100
This makes changes to the ecosystem in the area. It can be natural or cause by humans.
What is a disturbance?
100
A group multiple species living together does NOT include non-living thing.
What is a Community
100
This organism does harm to its host while gaining all the benefit.
What is Parasitism
100
This group is made up of autotrophs that get energy from the sun, making them the beginning of all food chains/webs.
What are Producers
100
This adaptation allows an organism to blend in with its surroundings to hide from predators.
What is Camouflage
200
This is the type of succession that occurs when there is no soil present, only rock.
What is Primary Succession
200
This level of ecology includes Deserts, Oceans, Tundras, and Tropical Rainforests.
What is a Biome.
200
This is the relationship between you and your normal intestinal bacteria.
What is Mutualism
200
This kind of creature will eat both plants and other creatures.
What is an Omnivore
200
These are always primary consumers because they only eat the producers (plants).
What are Herbivores
300
This disturbance occurs when forests are cut away to make farmland.
What is Human Disturbance or Deforestisation
300
This is the classification give to any organism that is, or was once, living.
What is Biotic
300
An example of this relationship is a cat and a mouse.
What is Predation
300
This is the percentage of energy that is transferred to the next level of the food chain.
What is 10%
300
This happens when a species makes a behavioral or physical change in order to survive.
What is Adaptation
400
This pioneering species will move into an area to break down the rock to start succession process.
What is Lichens, Mosses, or Algae
400
This biome receives the most amount of rainfall each year and has the most species diversity.
What is a Tropical Rainforest
400
A relationship between two animals where one species benefits but the other is neither harmed nor helped.
What is Commensalism
400
These heterotrophs aren’t always shown on a food web but are essential because they break down dead organisms adding nutrients to the soil.
What are Decomposers
400
This is process in which plants make their food.
What is Photosynthesis
500
This is the final stage of succession when biodiversity is at its peak and no more growth can be sustained.
What is a Climax Community
500
This science deals with the relations and interactions between organisms and their environment, including other organisms.
What is Ecology
500
This happens when two organisms struggle against each other for resources needed to survive.
What is Competition
500
The majority of energy lost in a food web is a result of this.
What is Heat
500
An example of this cycle is the burning of coal in a power plant that eventually gets absorbed by plants and oceans, returning to the earth.
What is the Carbon Cycle
