| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Prey | An organism that is killed and eaten by another organism |
| Predator | An organism that eats all or part of another organism. |
| Decomposer | "Nature's Recyclers." They break down dead plants and animals. |
| Producer | Gains energy from the sun. Plants, trees are producers. |
| Consumer | Get their energy by eating other organisms. |
| Herbivore | An organism that eats only plants |
| Carnivore | An organism that eats only meat |
| Omnivore | An organism that eats plants and meat |
| Plants change sunlight into | Chemical energy |
| Warning coloration | An animal adaptation that allows an organism to warn another that they are poisonous. |
| What are the three types of symbiosis? | Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism |
| What are prey adaptations? | Mimicry, warning coloration, defensive chemicals, speed, moving in groups |
| What are predator adaptations? | Speed, talons, stealth, sharp teeth |
| What is found at the base of an energy pyramid? | Producers |
| How is energy is transferred in an ecosystem? | From producers to consumers to scavengers and decomposers |
| This shows multiple food chains? | A food web |
| This shows the transfer of individual organisms in a line? | A food chain |
| Symbiosis shows? | The relationships between organisms in an environment where some are benefited, not bothered, or harmed. |
| What is parasitism? | Where an organism is harmed by another. (Parasite and host) |

| What is mutualism? | Where two organisms live together and benefit from their relationship in the environment. (Remora and shark) |
| What is commensalism? | Where one organism benefits from the relationship while one is not harmed. (Orchid in a tree, army ant and the ant bird)` |
| These are abiotic factors in an ecosystem. | Water and sunlight |
| An ecosystem consists of? | A community of organisms and its abiotic environment |
| If an organism breaks down dead materials into water, soil, and carbon dioxide, it is a? | Decomposer |
