An organism that only eats plants.
What is an herbivore?
A group of the same species living in the same area.
What is a population?
Relationship where both organisms benefit.
What is mutualism?
Sweating to cool your body demonstrates this characteristic.
What is maintaining homeostasis?
In a CER, the “E” stands for this.
What is evidence?
An organism that eats both plants and animals.
What is an omnivore?
All the populations (living things) in an area.
What is a community?
Relationship where one benefits and the other is unaffected.
What is commensalism?
Having brown eyes like your dad demonstrates this characteristic.
What is passing trait to offspring? Or what is heredity?
The independent variable goes on this axis of a graph.
What is the X-axis?

What is an ecosystem?
Relationship where one benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
A plant bending toward sunlight shows this characteristic.
What is responding to (abiotic) stimuli?
This trophic level is always found at the very bottom of an energy pyramid.
What is the primary producer level?
This consumer level eats primary consumers.
What is a secondary consumer?
An individual living thing.
What is an organism?
A relationship where one animal hunts and eats another.
What is predator–prey?

What is a cell?
When two organisms fight for the same resource, it’s called this.
What is competition?
A plant using glucose made from photosynthesis demonstrates this characteristic.
What is consuming energy? Or what is metabolizing energy?
If a predator population suddenly increases, the prey population (the organism it feeds on) will usually do this.
What is decrease?
