1. Ecology

2. The study of interactions of living organisms with other organisms and their environment Ecology

3. What does an ecosystem include? Biotic and abiotic factors

4. An organisms role or job in an ecosystem Niche

5. This is an example of a Food Chain

6. Region of life that supports all living things Biosphere

7. What is the predator in this food chain? Fox

8. Where is the greatest amount of energy? Autotrophs/plants

9. Region of life that supports all living things Biosphere

10. All communities, energy and abiotic factors in an area is Ecosystem

11. Identify 3 abiotic factors Rain Sunlight Soil Rocks Temperature, etc

12. What is the prey in this food chain? Bunny

13. The total weight of the organisms in an ecosystem biomass

14. Autotrophs make their food through which process photosynthesis

15. Eats only consumers Carnivore

16. What do tertiary consumers eat? Secondary consumers

17. What happens if algae is removed? All organisms would be affected

21. Eats producers and consumers Omnivore

22. Eats dead consumers Detrivore or Scavenger

23. Recycles nutrients back into the environment decomposer

24. Put the following smallest to largest: community, ecosystem, organism, biosphere, population Organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere

25. A snake that eats a frog that has eaten an insect that fed on a plant is a Tertiary consumer

26. All of the interconnected food chains make a______________ Food web

27. A Biologist that studies the interactions of organisms with their environment Ecologist

28. An Oak tree is an example of a Producer

29. A cow is an example of a Herbivore

30. A mushroom, bacteria and worms are examples of a decomposer

31. A group of organisms of different species living together in a particular space is a(n) community

32. When moving up the trophic levels what happens to the energy levels? The energy decreases: 10% rule

33. If the producers in a trophic level have 300kg of biomass, how many kg of biomass would be at the secondary consumer trophic level? 3kg

34. The Physical Location of where an organism lives habitat

35. In a food web, what type of organism gives energy to all of the other trophic levels? producers

36. A group of organisms of the same species living in a particular space is a(n) population

37. What is eelgrass? Producer

38. What happens as you go up the pyramid? Amount of organisms and energy decreases

39. According to the rule of 10, if the producers have 10,000 kcal of energy, how much energy will be available for the Bass 10 kcal

40. Draw pyramid and label producers and the different levels of consumers Producer – P.C. – S.C. – T.C.

41. Identify the different levels of consumers of this food chain. Producer – Primary consumer- Secondary – tertiary- quaternary
