100
All living, once living or products from a living thing
What is biotic
100
This type of letter is used to represent a dominant trait
What is a capital or uppercase letter

Organisms that get their energy by eating or "consuming" other organisms
What are consumers

If you are making a food web and you know that hawks eat rabbits the arrow would point

The way that arrows in a food web always point
What is from the consumed to the consumer or following the path of the energy
300

What is a population
300
Two Biotic limiting factors that might keep a population under control
What are predators, limited food supply, organisms carrying disease, lack of potential mates
300
This trait will show if an organism has both a dominant and recessive allele
What is dominant trait
400
There organisms break down dead material for their energy

Something that can keep a population of animals from reproducing and filling an area
What are limiting factors
400
Two abiotic limiting factors that may keep a population under control
What are temperature, lack of or too much water, natural disasters
400
The combination of alleles that determine the traits that are expressed in an organism
What is genotype
500
This type of diagram shows how energy moves from organism to organism within an ecosystem
What is a food web

This is the path that energy takes to get from the sun to a mountain lion (one example)
What is sun to grass to rabbit to mountain lion
500
This helps a population to survive when environmental condition change (remember the stick bugs!)
What is variation
500
The way that the traits are expressed in an organism (eye color, fur pattern, etc.)
