Sugar & Energy
the process autotrophs do to make their own food
what is photosynthesis
chordate vertebrates that produce milk, are warm blooded, and (often) have fur
what are mammals
all the living and nonliving things contained in a given area
what is an ecosystem
a simple diagram showing energy transfer through a few organisms
what is a food chain
a relationship between two organisms living closely together where both benefit
the process of breaking down glucose to release energy
what is cellular respiration
chordate vertebrates that spend their life in water and on land
what are amphibians
all of the living things in an ecosystem
what is a community
an organism that has to eat either plants or other animals in order to gain energy because it cannot make its own food
what is a heterotroph
the organisms that benefit and are harmed in a parasitic relationship
what is the parasite (the one that benefits) and the host (the one harmed)
the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration
the largest type of animals, which do not have a backbone
what are invertebrates
what are abiotic factors
an organism that breaks down dead material
what is a decomposer
a tick that clings to a deer and feeds off of it is an example of this
the organelles of photosynthesis and cellular respiration
where is in the chloroplast (for photosynthesis) and in the mitochondria (for cellular respiration)
what are echinoderms
Two or more organisms are both using the same resources/food source in the same habitat
what is competition
An organism that is introduced into a new habitat where it does not have any natural predators
what is an invasive species
Seed pods get stuck to the fur of a rabbit and fall off in another location is an example of this
what is commensalism
the ingredients that go into a reaction and are written on the LEFT of the arrow
what are the reactants
the largest group of invertebrates which have exoskeletons and body appendages. Ex: grasshopper and crayfish
what are arthropods
The relationship between the hunter and hunted animals
what is predator (hunter) - prey (hunted)
an organism that has a disproportionately high impact on a food web
what is a keystone species
The relationship that forms between any two organisms that live closely together and interact so that at least on of them benefits
what is symbiosis
