Final Jeopardy
$100 Question from L.O.O.
The________ includes all land, water,
and air, and supports all life.
$100 Answer from L.O.O.
BIOSPHERE
$200 Question from L.O.O.
A group of living organisms so
similar to one another that they can
reproduce and produce fertile
offspring
$200 Answer from L.O.O.
SPECIES
$300 Question from L.O.O.
This photo is an example of what level of
organization?
$300 Answer from L.O.O.
POPULATION
$400 Question from L.O.O.
This level of organization is represented by the
following image (omitting the abiotic factors)
$400 Answer from L.O.O.
COMMUNITY
$500 Question from L.O.O.
In describing this level of
organization, abiotic factors
would be included.
$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 CO₂
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.
Complete the following Diagram (definition
of ecology)
Ecology
Study

$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?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3lLYOGDsts
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.
