Final Jeopardy
$100 Everything Is Connected
What does biotic mean?
Biotic describes the living
factors in the environment.
$200 Everything Is Connected
Define population
A population is a group of
individuals of the same species
that live in the same area at the
same time.
$300 Everything Is Connected
What is the biosphere?
The biosphere is the part of the
Earth where life exists.
$400 Everything Is Connected
How do you define community?
A community is all of the
populations of different species
that live and interact in an area.
$500 Everything Is Connected
What is an ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a community
of organisms and its abiotic
environment.
$100 Living Things Need Energy
What does an herbivore eat?
An herbivore eats plants only.
$200 Living Things Need Energy
Define omnivore.
An omnivore is a consumer that
eats a variety of animals and plants.
$300 Living Things Need Energy
What is a scavenger?
A scavenger is an animal that
feeds on the bodies of dead
animals.
$400 Living Things Need Energy
What is a carnivore?
A carnivore is a consumer that
eats animals.
$500 Living Things Need Energy
Put the following organisms in order to
create a food chain.
Prairie dogs, Coyotes, Grasses,
Buzzard
The correct order of the food chain
would be grasses – prairie dogs – coyotes
– buzzard.
$100 Types of Interactions
Define prey
Prey is an organism that is
eaten by another
organism.
$200 Types of Interactions
What is mutualism?
Mutualism is a symbiotic
relationship in which both
organisms benefit. Example:
bacteria in your intestines
$300 Types of Interactions
What is symbiosis?
Symbiosis is a long-term
association between two or
more species.
$400 Types of Interactions
Define parasitism.
Parasitism is a symbiotic
relationships in which one
organism benefits while the
other is harmed. Example: dog
and a tick
$500 Types of Interactions
What is commensalism?
Commensalism is a
symbiotic relationship in
which one organism
benefits and the other is
unaffected. Example:
shark and remora
$100 You Should Know
What is an Energy Pyramid?
An energy pyramid is a
diagram shaped like a triangle
that shows the loss of energy at
each level of the food chain.
$200 You Should Know
Name one biotic and one abiotic
factor in the forest.
Biotic factors include any living
thing in the forest and abiotic
factors are the nonliving things.
$300 You Should Know
What is carrying capacity?
Carrying capacity is the
largest population that a
given environment can
support over a long
period of time.
$400 You Should Know
What are the
producers in
this food web?
In this food web the tree and
the grasses are the
producers.
$500 You Should Know
Name the three symbiotic
relationships.
The three symbiotic relationships
are mutualism, commensalism,
and parasitism.
$100 Grab Bag
Define abiotic.
Abiotic is the term used to
describe nonliving factors in the
environment.
$200 Grab Bag
What is the source of energy
for almost all living things?
The sun (or sunlight)
$300 Grab Bag
What is ecology?
Ecology is the study of
interactions between organisms
and their environment.
$400 Grab Bag
Define habitat.
A habitat is the
environment where an
organism lives.
$500 Grab Bag
Explain coevolution.
Coevolution is the long-term
changes that take place in two
species because of their close
interactions with one another.
Final Jeopardy
Is it possible for an inverted
energy pyramid to exist? Why or
Why not?
No it is not possible for an inverted energy pyramid
to exist. The widest part of the pyramid has the
most energy and the pointed end has the least. An
ecosystem cannot support the greatest energy level
with the level that has the least energy.
