• find the most energy?
• Top
• Bottom
• Middle
• Energy is same throughout

Answer
16

energy pyramid are alike with respect to energy
or energy flow.
Answer

areas communities is called .
Answer
18
True or False Primary succession involves the
development of small plants but secondary
succession follows that with the development of
large plants and trees.
Answer
19
When does primary succession occur?
Answer
20
When does secondary succession occur?
Answer
21

• Pioneer Species are mainly a part of
• Primary Succession
• Secondary Succession
• Both Primary Secondary Succession
• None of the above. Pioneer species have
• nothing to do with Succession.

Answer
22
Some organisms share a close relationship
in which at least one of them benefits. This
Relationship is called s .
Answer
23
If one organism of a symbiotic pair is harmed, we
would call this a symbiotic relationship.
Answer
24

clownfish, but the clownfish enjoys the safety of
the anemones sting. What type of symbiosis is
this?
Answer
25
Answer
26
Give an example of mutualism by naming the 2
organisms and explaining why it is a mutualistic
relationship.
Answer
27
The study of how living things interact is
called?

• ECOLOGY
• The scientists who study ecology are called
  ecologists.

28
Answer

• time

29
An example of a biotic factor in a desert
ecosystem is

• A CACTUS
• Biotic means living.
• Abiotic means non-living.

30
The maximum number of deer that this habitat can
support is approximately 1250. This number is
known as the .

• CARRYING CAPACITY
• The maximum size population that can be supported
  by an ecosystem.

31
What makes up an ecosystem?

• LIVING THINGS AND THEIR PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT.
• The biotic and the abiotic factors.

32
Photosynthetic organisms are called

• PRODUCERS
• Most producers use the suns energy, CO2, and
  water to make sugar, aka food, aka carbohydrates.
• Consumers then eat them to get at the energy rich
  sugar.

33
What eats plants?

• PRIMARY CONSUMERS

34
What is the difference between a carnivore and a
herbivore?

• A CARNIVORE EATS ONLY MEAT. AN HERBIVORE EATS
  ONLY PLANTS.
• Note that you can pronounce herbivore 2 ways
  (hur-buh-vawr or ur-buh-vawr)

35
What do we call an organismthat eats both
animals and plants?

• OMNIVORE
• Scavengers eat primarily dead animals.
• Decomposers are omnivores but usually have to
  stick to dead plants and animals thanks to the
  immune system.

36
Omnivore vs. Decomposer

• Although decomposers eat both plants and animals,
  they usually only dine on the dead, devouring the
  remains breaking it down and returning the
  nutrients to the soil and air.
• Bacteria, Fungi, Worms, Insects

37
The source of energy for almostall living things
on Earth is

• THE SUN

38
Photosynthetic Organisms / Producers are found

• ON THE BOTTOM OF FOOD WEBS AND ENERGY PYRAMIDS

39
Food web arrows represent

• THE DIRECTION THAT FOOD ENERGY IS MOVING

40
Where is the most energy in an energy pyramid?

• AT THE BOTTOM
• Remember that at each level, about 90 of the
  energy is used up by the organisms at that level.

41
Possible Answer

• Food Chains, Food Webs, and Energy Pyramids all
  have producers at the bottom that harness energy
  from the sun (or chemicals) and use that energy
  to make food. Consumers then eat these producers
  and then get eaten themselves as you go up the
  chain/web/pyramid. Energy is lost as you go up.

42
A gradual series of changes in an
areascommunities is called .

• SUCCESSION

43
Primary vs. Secondary Succession

• FALSE
• It is a common misunderstanding that secondary
  succession is a part of and follows primary
  succession. Not true.

44
Primary Succession

• Involves the initial development of pioneer
  species on rock or also on the rocky lifeless
  remains of retreating glaciers.

45
Secondary Succession

• Follows a natural disaster or human activities
  that have wiped out most of the natural
  development.
• Examples are after forest fires, floods,
  abandoned farm fields, clearcutting.

46
Pioneer Species

• Are mainly involved in primary succession.
• They are the first to move into a barren
  evironment exposed rock or following a glacier
  that has pushed away the topsoil.

47
Organisms sharing a close relationship where one
or both benefit are in a

• SYMBIOTIC relationship
• SYMBIOTIC
• SYMBIOSIS

48
If one organism is harmed, the other is
benefiting and we call this symbiotic relationship

• PARASITIC

49
When one organism benefits and the other is
unaffected, we call this

• COMMENSALISM

50
Mutualism

• RIGHT ON BRUTHA!
