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 that describes the interactions of organisms of different species.
What is symbiotic relationship?
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?
This is another word for a first level consumer.
What is a primary consumer?
This is a word for the an animal that feeds on another animal.
What is predator?
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 is harmed
What is parasitism?
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?
This is another word for a second level consumer.
What is secondary consumer (carnivore)?
In this symbiotic relationship between bees and flowers, bees get pollen to create honey and the flowers get help in reproducing.
What is mutualism?
In an energy pyramid, this organism only eats producers.
What is primary consumer?.
Types of organisms that are consumers in an ecosystem?
What is animals?
Ducks eat snails and snails eat algae. This organism is written last on a food chain.
What is ducks?
This level shows the most available energy in an ecosystem.
What is the first or producer level?
You can tell an organism is a producer on a food web because _______________________________.
What is there are no arrows drawn to the producers?
A barnacle is growing on a whale. As the whale migrates, it gets a "free ride" to waters with more abundant food sources. This is an example of what kind of relationship?
What is commensalism?
In an food web, the arrows indicate the direction in which something is transferred.
What is energy?
