$500 Answer from Interactions ECOSYSTEM

$100 Question from Interactions The following image is an example of what type of ecological relationship?

$100 Answer from Interactions PREDATOR/PREY or PREDATION

$200 Question from Interactions This type of interaction occurs when two organisms attempt to use the same resources at the same place and time

$200 Answer from Interactions COMPETITION

$300 Question from Interactions What type of interaction do the following images suggest?

$300 Answer from Interactions PARASITISM

$400 Question from Interactions An example of this type of interaction is shown in the picture below.

$400 Answer from Interactions COMMENSALISM

$500 Question from Interactions Mycorrhizae is the name given to the symbiotic relationship between certain plant roots and fungi. In this relationship the fungi increase the plant roots’ water and nutrient absorption from the soil, while receiving energy produced by the plant in order to use for its own life processes. This is an example of which type of ecological relationship?

$500 Answer from Interactions MUTUALISM

$100 Question from Energy I This is the main source of all energy

$100 Answer from Energy I SUN

$200 Question from Energy I This type of consumer eats only plants.

$200 Answer from Energy I HERBIVORE

$300 Question from Energy I This classification of organisms captures energy from the sun, using it to make their own food.

$300 Answer from Energy I PRODUCER or AUTOTROPH

$400 Question from Energy I The process whereby solar energy is used to make food from CO ₂ and water

$400 Answer from Energy I PHOTOSYNTHESIS

$500 Question from Energy I The process whereby chemical energy is used in order to produce energy.

$500 Answer from Energy I CHEMOSYNTHESIS

$100 Question from Energy II This classification of organisms has a diet that consists only of other animals

$100 Answer from Energy II CARNIVORES

$200 Question from Energy II The following image is an examples of what classification of consumers?

$200 Answer from Energy II OMNIVORE

$300 Question from Energy II The following image is an example of this classification of organisms

$300 Answer from Energy II DECOMPOSER

$400 Question from Energy II This classification of organisms eats dead plant and animal remains

$400 Answer from Energy II DETRITIVORES

$500 Question from Energy II What is the role of decomposers in the environment?

$500 Answer from Energy II Decomposers break down decaying organic matter (or dead plants and animals), which allows for the release of nutrients (e.g. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, etc.) into the soil. Plant roots are then able to absorb these nutrients needed for growth and development.

$100 Question from Misc. Name two abiotic factors.

$100 Answer from Misc. Sun, Water, Soil, Air, Rocks, etc.

$200 Question from Misc. Each step in a food chain (as represented in an ecological pyramid) is referred to as a ______ ______.

$200 Answer from Misc. TROPHIC LEVEL

$300 Question from Misc. Provide at least 3 specific examples of what may happen to the energy that does not pass from one trophic level to one following it.

$300 Answer from Misc. Energy that does not transfer to the successive trophic level will be used to life processes of that particular organism (e.g. movement, reproduction, homeostasis, reproduction, metabolism, etc.

$400 Question from Misc. Ecology Study of…??? Complete the following Diagram (definition of ecology)

$400 Answer from Misc. Study of….interactions among organisms Study of…interactions among organisms and their environments

$500 Question from Misc. Explain the abnormal shape of this pyramid of numbers.

$500 Answer from Misc. This “pyramid of numbers” does not take on an actual pyramid shape because the first-level consumers outnumber the producers (think # of trees compared to # of insects, birds, or smaller tree-dwelling organisms).

Final Jeopardy What is the competitive exclusion principle?

Final Jeopardy Answer The Competitive Exclusion Principle states that no two species (within an ecosystem) can occupy the same niche; otherwise, increased competition will ensue, resulting in a “winner” and a “loser” (based on which species is better adapted to that particular niche). The loser will likely suffer endangerment, or eventually extinction.
