| predator | what kills and eats the other organism |
| prey | the organism that gets killed and eaten |
| invasive species | a species that does not naturally occur in an area and causes harm to existing species/organisms |

| extinct | organisms that are no longer on earth; gone forever |
| adaptations | characteristics that allow organisims to live successfully in their environment |
| 3 types of symbiosis | Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism |
