| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Consumers that eat both plants and animals are called | omnivores. |
| The first organism in a food chain is always a | producer |
| The many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem make up a(n) | food web |
| A first level consumer can be a | herbivore or omnivore |
| Decomposers are important to an ecosystem because | They return nutrients to the soil |
| An organism that can make its own food is called a | producer |
| Vultures, which feed on the bodies of dead organisms, are | scavengers |
| Which process do all organisms use to get energy from food? | cellular respiration |
| The formula for cellular pespiration is | C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP |
| Temperature, light, air, water, soil and climate are all __________parts of the environment. | abiotic |
| In an energy pyramid which level has the least energy available? | tertiary consumer |
| What process do autotrophs use to make food from the sun? | photosynthesis |
| The formula for photosyntheesis is | 6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| If 80,000 calories were available at the producer level. How many calories would the (secondary consumer) receive? | 800 |
| What is an autotroph? | an organism that produces its own food |
| Heterotroph | an organism that obtains its energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms |
| What is the source of all energy in the ecosystem | the sun |
| What is the source of all food in the ecosystem | the producers |
| Differences between biotic and abiotic factors | biotic means living, abiotic means non-living |
| Name the types of CONSUMERS. | Ominivores Carnivores Scavengers Herbivores |
| What is a carnivore? | eats only meat |
| What is a omnivore? | eats both plants and animals |
| What is a herbivore? | eats only plants |
| What percent of energy is transferred each trophic level? | 10 |
| What is ALWAYS the first organism on the food chain | producer |
| Difference between a food chain and a food web? | Food chain is a single path. Food web is multiple food chains. |
| What does a energy pyramid show? | Energy Pyramid shows the transfer of energy. PRODUCERS are on the bottom. |
| Commensalism | one benefits, one is unaffected |
| Mutualism | both benefit |
| Parasitism | one benefits, one is harmed |
| In a parasitism, who is the host? | the one who is harmed |
| In a parasitism, who is the parasite? | the one who benefits |
| In a Predator/Prey, who is the prey? | the one who is eaten |
| How do producers get their own food? What is the process called? | Photosynthesis |
| In a Predator/Prey, who is the Predator? | the one hunts and eats the other |
| What do the arrows represent in the food chain? | direction of energy flow |
| Define competition | the struggle between organisms for the same resource |
| Define cooperative relationship | Define cooperative relationship |
