Where are rain forests typically located at on Earth?

Close to the Equator

100

What is the difference between abiotic and biotic?

Abiotic means non-living, while biotic means living.

100

What is predation?

When one organism hunts and kills another for food

100

What is competition?

When organisms go after the same resource

100
The three types of symbiotic relationships are: ______, ________, and _________. 

Mutualism, Commensalism, & Parasitism

200

Why are rain forests at risk?

Rain forests are being deforested, which will reduce the amount of oxygen being produced for living creatures and reduce the amount of habitat available.

200

Almost everything in the world is made of ________.

Matter

200

True or False: Only animals can be predators.

False; ex: Pitcher plant & insects

200

True or False: Competition can only be within the same species.

False; Competition can be between the same species or different species.

200

Name a parasitic relationship shown in the videos. 

Fungus & insects

Lovevine & grass

Mosquitos & animals

Ticks/leeches & animals

300

What is biodiversity?

A variety of different species 
300

What are the steps of the Matter Cycle?

=> Producers => Primary Consumers (Prey) => Secondary & Tertiary Consumers (Predators) => Decomposers => Abiotic Components (Physical Environment
300

Name a predator-prey relationship we saw in the videos during class.

- Crocodile & zebras

- Cheetah & gazelles

- Baboon & gazelle baby

- Pitcher plant & insects

- School of fish & dolphins/swordfish

- Etcetera

300

Organisms compete for ________.

Food, shelter, mates, nutrients, water, space

300

Name a mutually beneficial relationship you saw in the videos. 

Ants & blue butterfly

Deers, turkeys, & squirrels

Sunfish & cleaner fish

Iguanas & crabs

Lizards & sea lions

Pearlfish & sea cucumber

400

Populations (increase / decrease) with the reduction of the size of the rain forest.

Decrease

How is the way that energy flows in an Energy Pyramid different from matter cycling in a Food Web?

Energy is lost at each step up the food pyramid back to the environment, while matter cycles over and over again.

400
What is an adaptation (special feature) that predators have to catch their prey?

Fangs, claws, forward-facing eyes, strong jaw

400

Name a competition between two organisms that you saw in one of the videos we watched in class.

- Mating competition between birds, etc.

400

What is the difference between Mutualism, Commensalism, and Parasitism? Show using your thumbs!

Mutualism = both thumbs up

Commensalism = one thumb up, one thumb parallel to floor

Parasitism = one thumb up, one thumb down

500

Name two types of monitoring techniques used by researchers in Borneo.

- Light trap

- Camera trap

- Point count

- Water samples

- Measure fish length

500

____% of energy is lost at each step of the Energy pyramid.

90%

500

What is an adaptation that prey have to escape the predator?

Hooves, strong legs to run or kick, camouflage, fast runners 

500

What is the difference between intraspecific competition and interspecific competition?

Intraspecific competition refers to competition within the same species. Interspecific competition is competition between different species.

500

What is the name of the bird parasite that we saw in the video?

Cowbird
