Energy Flow
It is an organism that makes its own food.
What is a producer (autotroph)?
It is a relationship in which both species involved benefit.
What is mutualism?
Grass>gopher tortoise>raccoon>coyote
What is an example of a food chain?
A group of the same species of organisms that live in the same place.
What is a population?
It is the movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
It is a primary consumer, it only eats producers.
What is an herbivore?
It is a relationship in which one of the species involved benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
What is commensalism?
This symbol shows the flow of energy in a food web
What is an arrow?
All the living organisms that live and interact in an area.
What is a community?
It is the release of energy from glucose without using oxygen.
What is fermentation?
It is a secondary or tertiary consumer, it eats only other animals.
What is a carnivore?
It is a relationship in which one species benefits while harming the other species.
What is parasitism?
One shows a single path of energy and one shows the many paths of energy in an ecosystem.
What is the difference between a food chain and food web?
A group of organisms that are closely related and produce fertile offspring
What is a species?
It is one of two locations of DNA in a eukaryotic cell.
What is the nucleus or the mitochondria?
They can be found on any trophic level but the first, they eat both producers and consumers.
What is an omnivore?
An example is mistletoe living on a spruce tree and taking the tree's nutrients.
What is parasitism?
An organism with no natural predators
What is a top predator?
the role of a species in its community
What is niche?
Draw a food web of organisms you might find in your neighborhood. Include at least two producers and four consumers (on two different levels). Label the energy roles of each organism, and include arrows showing the path of energy flow.
Drawing
They are at the top of the energy pyramid or at the end of the food chain. They receive the least amount of energy.
What is a tertiary consumer (top carnivore/predator)?
An example is a butterfly feeding on the nectar from a flower while pollinating the flower.
What is mutualism?
The food energy pyramid's level with the greatest amount of energy
What is the producer level?
the three types of plant and animal dispersion
What are clumped, random, and uniform?
