Levels of Organization
A ___ is a single organism.
Individual
(blank) is an assigned level in a food chain based on how an organism gets energy
Trophic levels
What is Biodiversity?
The variety of organisms, the organism's genetic differences, and the ecosystems in which they occur.
(blank) is the regular progression of species of replacement over time
succession
(blank) is the rate at which producers make energy (from sunlight).
Primary productivity
What is the largest level of organization?
The biosphere
(blanks) are multiple connected food chains showing the complex interactions within an ecosystem
Food webs
___ refers to the different ecosystems in a region
Ecological diversity
On land, succession that occurs where no soil previously existed is called (blank)
primary succession
(blanks) produce energy by capturing sunlight or using chemicals (plants, algae, some bacteria).
Producers (AKA autotrophs)
(blank) is a group of organisms of one species that interbreed and live together within a defined area.
Population
(blank) is a diagram that represents the amount of energy stored in the trophic levels.
Energy pyramid
What is Species diversity?
Species diversity refers to the different species within certain ecosystems
The first species to populate the area are called (blank)
pioneer species
(blanks) are organisms that consume other organisms for food.
Consumers (AKA heterotrophs)
(blank) is a combination of the communities and the physical (nonliving) environment.
Ecosystem
What is the ten percent law?
only 10% of energy is passed on from trophic level to trophic level.
A (blank) is a place where a particular population lives (anthills, squirrel nests, beaver dams, etc.)
habitat
(blank) is succession that occurs in areas where soil exists, but has been damaged or disturbed.
Secondary succession
(blanks) are organisms that obtain their energy from dead matter or waste ( Ex- vultures, crabs, earthworms)
Detrivores
Name the Levels Of Organization in order from smallest to largest.
Individual, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere
Energy is typically measured in (blank or blank)
calories or Joules

Tropical Rainforest
is the regrowth after a forest fire an example of Primary succession, or Secondary succession
Secondary Succession
How many trophic levels are there?
4-5, Producer, Primary Consumer, Secondary Consumer, Tertiary Consumer, Quaternary Consumer
