# Quiz Review Name ____________________________________ “Serengeti – Migration of the Wildebeest” Anthropomorphism –the tendency to apply human characteristics to non-human living things – similar to personification in LA class examples from the video include: hyenas appearing to laugh vultures spreading their wings as if to say, “You want a piece of me?” hippopotamus playing hide and seek in the water under the plants crocodile smiling at us Anthropocentrism – the belief that humans are the focus of or the reason for and organism’s behavior – examples from the video include: Examples from the video include: Examples of Mr. Johnson – chickens running to him when he approaches the henhouse. “Look” he says, “They love me” but really, they think he is going to feed them and they are looking for food. It’s not about YOU Mr. Johnson! Competition – both species competing for resources – usually food Hyenas, jackals and vultures Food Web – a diagram that models the feeding relationships within an ecosystem, the arrows in a food web can be replaced with the words ‘transfers energy to’ Predation – a relationship between two species where one organism benefits and survives and the other organism is killed. Predator – One that hunts to eat, does the ‘killing’ Cheetah feeding her young Lioness killing to feed the pride Prey – one that gets eaten or consumed Wildebeests, gazelles, Symbiotic relationships – relationships where different species interact and depend upon each other (examples include predation, parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism) Commensalism – benefits one species and the other one is not affected at all Bird on the back of the hippopotamus Mutualism – relationship benefits both species Herbivores – consumer that eats only plants Giraffes Wildebeests Water buffalo Flamingos Elephants Zebras storks Carnivores – consumer that eats meat Lions crocodiles cheetahs Omnivores – consumer that eats both plants and meat Monkeys baboons humans Abiotic factors – nonliving components to the environment – water, temperature, sun, air, nitrogen, carbon, soil, rocks, grass fires Biotic factors – living components to the environment – all living organisms such as plants and animals Ecosystem – all the living things in a particular area and their relationship to each other and to their physical environment Serengeti Ecosystem Migration – animals that travel to different geographical areas to meet their needs – if they don’t migrate, they will starve. Wildebeests searching for food and water.
