What do living things need to survive and reproduce? and What is this called?
An animal's habitat, which contains food, water, and space

sun - grass - deer - wolf - fungi

What is the taxonomic hierarchy designed by Linnaeus that is used to classify organisms?
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species
100
Define population
a group of organisms of the same species living in the same area that are able to procreate and produce viable offspring
200
What is the difference between the biotic and the abiotic part of an environment? Give examples of each.
living part of an ecosystem versus non-living parts of the environment: plants, animals versus rock, soil, air
200
organisms that use sunlight or another energy source to make their own food are called
producers
200
What is the difference between a habitat and a niche?
A habitat is the food, water, shelter, that an organism needs to survive adn reproduce. The niche is how that organism uses the food, water, and shelter.
200
The 2 Domains and how the organisms in each are different.
Prokaryotic (organisms that have cells with free moving DNA) and Eukaryotic (organisms with cells that have DNA contained in a nucleus)
200
What is an organism that eats only meat and an organism that eats only plants called?
a carnivore and an herbivore
300
What is the difference between an exoskeleton and an endoskeleton? Give an example of an organism for each.
An exoskeleton is hard outer structure, such as the shell of an insect or crustacean, that provides protection or support for an organism: arachnids, insects An endoskeleton is an inner support structure such as bones: humans, snakes, turtles.

producers use a process called___________to make food
photosynthesis

Draw a food web with at least 7 different organism
fungi - grass - deer - wolf - mouse - fox - hawk
300
What are the 6 Kingdoms and what is the Domain of each?
animalia, plantae, fungus, protista (Eukaryotic) bacteria, archaea (Prokaryotic)
300
What is an organism that eats plants and animals called?
omnivore
400
Define ecosystem
a dynamic biological community of interacting organisms and their environment
400
_________________ are herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores that eat other organisms
consumers

Describe predation and give an example.
The relationship between organisms where one organism kills and eats another. An example is the relationship between tigers and deer
400
What is the Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, and class of a human?
Eukaryotic, Animalia, Chordata, mammal
400
What is the difference between a primary and a secondary consumer?
a primary consumer eats only plants (an herbivore) and a secondary consumer eats primary consumers (a carnivore)
500
Are plants made of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells?
eukaryotic
500
Define symbiosis and give an example.
Symbiosis is a relationship between organisms where one or both organisms benefit from the relationship. An example is with the clown fish and the protection the anenome gives it.
500
Describe a competition relationship and give an example.
A relationship where 2 organisms compete for resources: food, water, and shelter. An example - lions and cheetahs that compete or 2 of the same species of gulls that fight over food
500
What is the Domain, Kingdom, phylum, and class of a spider?
Eukaryotic, Animalia, Arthropoda, Arachnid
500
What mechanism makes a population and species dynamic?
genetic mutations or changes in DNA
