| Animals that eat only meat are | Carnivores |
| Animals that eat both plants and animals are | Omnivores |
| Living organisms in an ecosystem are considered to be these factors | Biotic |
| Temperature, sunlight, and amount of rainfall are examples of these factors. | Abiotic |
| What eats only producers? | Primary Consumers |
| What eats primary consumers? | Secondary Consumers |
| Secondary consumers are usually | Carnivores |
| What eats secondary consumers? | Tertiary Consumers |
| What is at the very top of the food pyramid? | Tertiary Consumers |
| In this chain: Caterpillar --Plant---Frog----Water Snake - What position is the frog in? | Secondary Consumer |
| When both organisms benefit from the relationship, what type of symbiosis is this? | Mutualism |
| What type of symbiosis is it when one organism benefits but the other is harmed? | Parasitism |
| A remora fish riding on the belly of a shark is an example of this type of symbiosis. | Commensalism |
| A heart worm inside a dog would be this type of symbiosis. | Parasitism |
| A clown fish living in a sea anemone would be this type of symbiosis. | Mutualism |

| When one organism benefits but the other organism isn't helped or harmed is this type of symbiosis. | Commensalism |
| How many primary consumers would 30,000 producers support? | 3,000 primary consumers (30,000 divided by 10) |
| How many secondary consumers would 30,000 producers support? | 300 secondary consumers (30,000 divided by 10, and then that number divided by 10 again. |
| How many tertiary consumers would 30,000 producers support? | Only 30 - 30,000 divided by 10, answer divided by 10, and answer divided by 10. |
| Other words for plants are | Autotrophs and producers |
| Other words for animals are | Carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, heterotrophs and comsumers |
| The original source for all energy on Earth is | the Sun |
| Which has more? Producers or Consumers? | Producers |
| Primary consumers are only | Herbivores |
| Tertiary consumers are only | Carnivores |
| Secondary consumers might be either of these | Carnivores or Omnivores |
| Three types of symbiosis are | Mutualism, commensalism and parasitism |
