Ecosystems
Smallest component of an ecosystem of the following (Ecosystem, Organism, Community, Population)
What is Organism?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. This is shown by drawing a ________________.
What is a food chain?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. The algae is in/on the (bottom, middle, or top) of energy pyramid.
What is on the bottom?
A system of interconnected and interdependent food chains.
What is a food web?
This is a word for the close relationship between two dissimilar organisms.
What is symbiosis?
An organism that gets energy by eating other organisms.
What is consumer?
Second component of an ecosystem (smallest to largest) of the following (Ecosystem, Organism, Community, Population)
What is Population?
Arrows in a food chain show that this is being transferred.
What is energy?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. The snails are in/on the (bottom, middle, or top) of energy pyramid.
What is in the middle?
What organism do all food chains start with?
What is producer?
This is a word for the behavior of one animal feeding on another animal.
What is predation?
A palm tree is an example of this type of organism.
What is producer?
Third component of an ecosystem (smallest to largest) of the following (Ecosystem, Organism, Community, Population)
What is Community?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. This organism is written first on a food chain.
What is algae?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. The ducks are in/on the (bottom, middle, or top) of energy pyramid.
What is on the top?
One example of omnivores in a food web.
What is birds eat grasshoppers and grains (animals and plants)?
A symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and one does not benefit but is unharmed
What is commensalism?
In this relationship, an isopod attaches itself to a fish and feeds off of the fish's flesh slowly weakening the fish and causing it to become very sick.
What is parasitism?
Largest component of an ecosystem of the following (Ecosystem, Organism, Community, Population)
What is Ecosystem?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. This organism is written second on a food chain.
What is snails?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. The ducks are also known as the (producer, primary consumer, or secondary consumer).
What is the secondary consumer?
What energy source do all food chains start with
What is Sun?
In this symbiotic relationship between bees and flowers, bees get pollen to create honey and the flowers get help in reproducing.
What is mutualism?
Why is a predator/prey relationship not considered parasitism even though one organism benefits and the other is harmed. (Fox and rabbit)
parasitism is a long term relationship not a one time meal
An example of an abiotic factor.
What is a rock (or soil, temperature, water, anything NON-living)
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. This organism is written last on a food chain.
What is ducks?
Only this percentage of energy is passed on through trophic levels.
What is 10%?
You can tell an organism is a producer on a food web because _______________________________.
What is there are no arrows drawn to the producers?
In the grasslands, lions and hyenas both try to hunt zebras as a source of food.
What is competition?
What is the difference between a decomposer and a scavenger?
Decomposer breaks down dead organisms and return nutrients back to the soil.
Scavengers eat dead organisms
