That’s some Vocab fo yo behind!
What is the difference between abiotic and biotic?
Abiotic means non-living
Biotic means living
You are likely to find tall trees and a variety of birds in this ecosystem
Forest
A coyote would be considered a producer, consumer, or decomposer
Consumer
The osprey is a species of marine bird that lives in trees along the edges of estuaries in North Carolina.
What would most likely happen to the osprey population if humans started to develop the land around the estuaries?
The osprey population would decrease because they would lose their home and not be able to hunt for food.
What is the difference between a producer and a consumer?
A producer makes its own food
A consumer has to go find its food
You are likely to find small fish, large fish, clams, coral in this ecosystem.
The ocean
Producer
Grass -> rabbits -> fox -> hawk
What would happen if the population of rabbits increased.
The amount of grass would decrease
What is the primary source of every food chain?
The sun
In this ecosystem you are likely to find a heron, frog, bass, water lily, bacteria
Pond/lake or river/stream
because they are fresh water
A bee would be considered a producer, consumer, or decomposer
Consumer it gets nectar from a flower for food
The heron eats the striped bass as a part of its diet.
If the striped bass population increases, what would happen to the heron population?
The heron population would increase due to the large amounts of striped bass for it to eat
Brackish water occurs when…..
Fresh water like a river meets salt water like an ocean.
Water becomes semi salty
This ecosystem has fertile soil, tall grasses, and temperature varies depending on location
The sun is a producer, consumer or decomposer
Neither it is non-living
The flow of energy should go like this between a fern capybara and jaguar. True or False
fern <- capybara <- jaguar
capybara -> jaguar -> fern
fern -> capybara -> jaguar
fern -> capybara -> jaguar
The energy flows from the fern to the capybara to the jaguar
An ecosystem is…..
A community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
What is a deciduous forest?
A forest that does not get much rainfall nor does it have many animals living in it
An earthworm would be considered a producer, consumer, or decomposer
Decomposer
If a fungus is introduced in the food chain and the fern is damaged and the amount of ferns decrease, what will happen?
The capybara population would decrease which would then affect the jaguar population causing it to decrease
