What will most likely happen to the fox if the rabbit population disappears? 5. What abiotic factors do plants need in order to survive? 6. Define biotic factors and provide 3 examples of biotic factors 7. What is an ecosystem? 8. What generally flows in one direction through an ecosystem, from producers up through each level of consumers, and is not recycled? Name Hour Date Study Guide Quarter 1 Ecosystems 9. What happens when one organism eats another? 1-0. How can an increasing human population lead to climate change, increased pollution, species extinction, and less abundant natural resources? L1. lf a new species with very few predators was introduced into an environment, what impact would it have on the environment? 12. What is biodiversity? Reed Warblers make their nests in the reeds within wetlands. A female European Cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests of a Reed Warbler. The cuckoo egg closely mimics the e$gs of the Reed Warbler. The Reed Warbler may recognize the intruding egg and abandon the nest, or it may incubate and hatch the cuckoo egg. Shortly after hatching, the young European Cuckoo, using a scoop-like depression on its back, instinctively shoves over the edge of the nest any solid object that it contacts. With the disappearance of their eggs and rightful young, the foster parents are free to devote all of their care to the young cuckoo which includes feeding them insects. Frequently this is a difficult task, since the cuckoo chick often grows much larger than the host adults long before it can care for itself. ln nature, one may see a pair of small foster parent Reed Warblers working hard to keep up with the huge appetite of an outsized young cuckoo. https://web.stanford.edu/qroup/stanfordbirds/texVessavs/Brood Parasitism.html 13. Give an example of a predatorlprey relationship from the paragraph above? 14. What type of relationship exists between the Reed warbler and the cuckoos? 15. Muskrats eat the reeds within the wetlands. What type of relationship is this? 16. Which a. b. c. d. change in the reeds could limit the growth of the insect population? Loss of Competition of habitat Fewer predators Reduction in disease Loss Date Hour Name Study Guide Quarter 1 Ecosystems L7. What happened when ash borers were introduced lnto local forests? How could that affect ash tree population? 18. What is competition? Give L example. a. Competition b. Predation c. Symbiosis d. Parasitism L9. What is a predator prey relationship? Give L example 20. What is mutualism or mutually beneficial? Give l example 21. What is commensalism? Give L example 22. What is parasitism? Give l example. 23. Match each term with its definition. a.
