What are the main factors that affect the growth of a population?
|
rocks, soil nutrients, water
Name three abiotic factor
|
false

|
an organism capable of synthesizing its own food
What's autotroph?
|
Eats plants and other animals for energy
A consumer?
|
Mutualism
Which of the following describes a relationship in which both organisms depend on each other and both benefit?
|
for shelter or as a surface to grow on
How do organism and populations depend on abiotic factors such as rock or sand?
|
false
A population is defined as a group of organisms of two species that interbreed and live in the same place at the same time
|
competition is the struggle between two organisms for the same resources within an environment
Competition
|
the producers
Which level gets the least energy in the energy pyramid?
|
it may lead to the adaptation of a population as a whole
Which is true of competition between organisms of the same species?
|
sunlight, space, water, and soil nutrients
What abiotic factors do plants compete for?
|
true
A species niche included how species uses and affects its kingdom
|
Food web - The pattern of overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.One of three ways in which energy moves through an ecosystem. A model of feeding relationships
Food web
|
The direction of energy flow
In a food web or chain what do the arrows show?
|
black walnut trees release a chemical into the soil that prevents other types of plants from growing
Which of the following is an example of competition between populations?
|
B) Coral reef organisms carry out photosynthesis using the sunlight that passes through the clear water above.
Which describes a population depending on an abiotic factor?
A) bean plant does not grow well because it is planted where there are many weedy plants. B) Coral reef organisms carry out photosynthesis using the sunlight that passes through the clear water above. C) Squirrels eat eggs from a bird's nest. D) A hawk preys on a mouse. |
true
An organism's niche includes the way the organism gets what it needs to survive and reproduce.
|
. Energy pyramid - A diagram that shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web. One of three ways in which energy moves through an ecosystem. As you move upward, from level to level, in an energy pyramid, energy decreases. The greatest amount of energy in an ecosystem is available to producers
Energy Pyramaid

Herbivore scavenger
omnivore carnivore
Tell me of consumers that's in a energy pyramid
|
abiotic factors
What is the term for the physical components of an environment, such as wind, temperature, and soil?
|
d. its number of chromosomes
Which of the following would not be included in a description of an organism’s niche?
a. its trophic level b. the humidity and temperature it prefers c. when it reproduces d. its number of chromosomes |
false
Predators can limit the size of populations by weakening their hosts, resulting in disease or death.
|
Mutualism is a mutually beneficial relationship in which both organisms benefit.
Commensalism relationship between organisms where one organism benefits from the association while not harming the other. Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits at the expense of another
3 symbiotic relationships with definition
|
EX: Producer-plants
Consumers- herbivore:squirrel Omnivore: raccoon Carnivore:foxes Scavenger:Eagles Decomposer- earthworm
List the levels of a energy pyramid and give examples of each like food chain.
