Adaptations
What are the two types of adaptations?
behavioral and physical

competition
This is the type of interaction in which two species live closely together.
symbiosis
When one organism is living with, on, or inside another organism and harms it, it is what kind of relationship?
Parasitism
What kind of consumer has the least of energy?
Tertiary consumer
Migration is a form of what kind of adaptation?
Behavioral
What do species have to help them compete for food?
adaptations
What are the three types of symbiotic relationships?
commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism
The organism that benefits from parasitism is called what?
A parasite
What is made during photosynthesis?
Sugars (glucose)
Natural Selection
What is it when one organisms kills another organism to get its food?
predation
When a Remora is suctioned to a Manta Ray eating the scrap food from the Ray, this is a form of what kind of symbiosis?
Commensalism
What is the organism called when a parasite lives within it?

How do adaptations help an organism in its niche?
Adaptations allow a species to live successfully on the available resources in its niche.

protective coverings, warning coloration, or camouflage
When two species depend on each other, it is what kind of symbiosis?
mutualism
When a person has the flu, what kind of symbiosis is happening?
parasitism
This organism is nature's natural recyclers.
Decomposers
What is a niche?
Too many predators in an area can decrease the population of the prey in the area. This represents what?
Population size
A humming bird gets nectar from a flower and pollen attaches itself to the bird. When the humming bird flies to another flower for nectar, it pollinates that flower with the pollen from the previous flower. This is an example of what?
Mutualism
Barnacles feed by filtering tiny organisms from the water. They grow on objects below the surface, such as piers and rocks, and attach themselves to whales. What kind of symbiosis is this?
commensalism
What is one way to show overlapping food chains in an ecosystem?
Food web
