Warm up: NATIVE VS. INVASIVE pg. 307
INFER:
1. What is a native species? An organism that is found in its original habitat
2. What is an invasive species? An organism that is found in a different habitat; can negatively affect native
species
GATHER INFO:
3. What are the 3 invasive species mentioned on this page? Kudzu plant, walking catfish, zebra mussel
4. What is one advantage and one disadvantage of the kudzu plant? To prevent soil erosion/ It takes
resources away from other plants like sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
5. Why is the destructive zebra so destructive? It takes nutrients/food away from native mussels
6. How might the walking catfish affect the native species of its habitat? Creates competition with the
native species
DESCRIBE:
7. How does the competition between invasive and native species affect a food web? The invasive species
would consume food resources and the predator may die out. The food web will fall apart.
RELATE:
8. Give an example of competition for a food resource that may occur in an ecosystem near you. Be sure to
list the two organisms and what they are competing for!
