Ecology Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Ecology? | The study of how living things interact with their environment |
| What do we call all of the living (or once living) parts of an environment? | Biotic Factors |
| What do we call all the non-living parts of an environment? | Abiotic Factors |
| Birds, trees, grass, worms, fish, bears and deer are all examples of what? | Biotic Factors |
| Soil, Air, Water, Sun,and Temperature are all examples of what? | Abiotic Factors |
| What are the 4 levels of organization in the environment from smallest to largest? | Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem |
| What is a group of organisms from the same species living in a certain area? | Population |
| Which level contains a community and its abiotic environment? | Ecosystem |
| Which level contains different populations living together? | Community |
| All of the white tailed deer in the forest make up a? | Popluation |
| 1 clownfish is an example of an? | Organism |
| All of the black bears, trout and grass in the river make up a? | Community |
| The Blue Jays, White Pine Trees, Sun, Water and rocks in the forest make up am? | Ecosystem |
| What do we call an organism that uses sunlight directly to make its own food? | Producers |
| What do we call organisms that eat producers or other living things for energy? | Consumers |
| What are the 4 types of consumers? | Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores, Scavengers |
| Which type of consumer eats only meat, or other animals? | Carnivores |
| Which type of consumer eats both plants and animals? | Omnivores |
| Which type of consumer is an animal that gets its energy from eating dead animals? | Scavengers |
| What type of consumer eats only plants? | Herbivores |
| What do we call organisms that obtain energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms? | Decomposers |
| What type of consumer is a bird? | Omnivore (worms and berries) |
| What is the niche of fungi, worms and bacteria? | Decomposer |
| What type of consumer is a Lion? | Carnivore |
| What is the niche of a plant? | Producer, photosynthesisTo provide oxygen to other organisms, To provide food to other organisms |
| What type of consumer is a rabbit? | Herbivore |
| What type of consumer is a vulture? | Scanvenger |
| What is a habitat? | The place where an organism lives |
| What is the habitat of a fish? | Fish, Lake, Ocean or Stream |
| What is the role (job) of an organism, or how it gets food, safety and shelter, in its environment? | Niche |
| What is competition? | When two organisms fight for the same resource |
| What are 4 things organisms might compete for? | FoodSpaceMateWater |
| What is a predator? | An organism that eats another |
| What is a prey? | The organism that GETS eaten by another |
| A fox kills a rabbit. Which organism is the prey? | Rabbit |
| What is symbiosis? | A long term relationship between two different organisms |
| What are the tree types of symbiosis? | Commensalism, Mutualism, Parasitism |
| A tape worm living on the skin of a dog gets food for the worm but harm the dog. What type of symbiosis is this? | Parasitism (one benefits and one is harmed) |
| Birds getting food from an alligators mouth while cleaning the alligator’s teeth benefits both living things. What type of symbiosis is this? | Mututalism (both benefit!) |
| A bird building a nest in the tree helps the bird but does not help or harm the tree. What type of symbiosis is this? | Commensalism (one benefits the other is neither harmed nor helped) |
| What is a food chain? | A series of animals feeding on plants or other animals and passing on energy |
| What do the arrows in a food chain or food web show? | The direction the energy moves |
| What do we call the FIRST organism to eat something in a chain or web? | primary consumer |
| What do we call the SECOND organism to eat something in a chain or web? | secondary consumer |
| What do we call the THIRD organism to eat something in a chain or web? | tertiery consumer |
| What does an Energy Pyramid show? | The amount of energy avaiable at each level of a food chain |
| Which level in an Energy Pyrmamid contains the most stored energy to pass on? | producers (plants) |
| What is the process by which plant cells capture sunlight to make food? | Photosynthesis |
| What 3 materials are need by plants for photosynthesis? | Water, Energy (Sun), Carbon Dioxide |
| Where do plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis? | Sun |
| What plant part helps it to get the water it needs for photosynthesis? | Roots |
| What plant part allows gases, such as carbon dioxide, to enter so that the plant can go through photosynthesis? | Stomata (tiny openings under leaves) |
| What plant cell part captures the sunlight? | Chlorophyll |
| Where in the plant cell does photosynthesis take place? | Chloroplasts |
| What 2 products are made by the plant during photosynthesis? | Glucose (sugar-food for plant) and Oxygen |
| What do we call the movement of water throughout our ecosystem? | Water Cycle |
| What process includes rain, snow, sleet and hail? | Precipitation |
| What process changes a Water vapor (a gas) into a liquid to form clouds? | Condensation |
| What is the name of the process in which lots of water is collected in one area (pond, lake, ocean, etc.) | Accumulation |
| What is the name of the process that occurs when the sun heats up the water in lakes, rivers and oceans and changes it into a gas? | Evaporation |
| What do we call the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout our ecosystem? | The oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle |
| Which level is made up of only one living thing? | Organism |
| Which level is made up of many different types of living things? | Community |
| What do we call all of the biotic and abiotic factors interacting in an area? | Ecosystem |
| What is the niche of the primary consumer in every food chain? | Herbivore |
| Clouds, steam, and dew are examples of? | Condensation |
