Definition Relationship in which one organism is helped and the other organism is not harmed or helped A relationship in which one organism benefits and another organism is harmed 7. Relationship in which two organisms live together in close association Some bacteria in the soil change nitrogen compounds into nitrogen gas. This process is called____. ______________is converted into fossil fuels such as gas, peat, or coal When an organism dies, it is eventually eaten by __________.

All non living organisms in an environment The accumulation of increasingly large amounts of toxic substances within each successive link of the food chain. A diagram that shows the feeding relationships between organisms in an ecosystem An organism that eats both plants and animals 2. 7. 12. 13. 14 For each of the following, determine whether the statement describes a biotic or an abiotic factor. tropical rain forests receive the most amount of rainfall of all biomes an increase in plants provided herbivores with more food, increasing birth rates oak trees provide homes to many animals plains are susceptible to tornadoes and high wind conditions transpiration from forests increases humidity, forming clouds and promotes rainfall polar bears are top predators of the Arctic Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen fixation Legumes Use these words to fill in the blanks proteins bacteria decomposers compounds denitrification DNA amino acids nitrogen 78%-80% of the atmosphere is made up of ______________________. Organisms need this important element to make __________________, which are used to make _____(genetic code) and ___________________, which build _______________. But most organisms can’t use nitrogen gas. Certain types of __________________live in the soil and on roots of plants called __________(beans) The nitrogen is converted into a form that is usable by plants in a process called_____________________. When organisms die, ___________________ return nitrogen to the soil as ammonia. Bacteria change the ammonia into nitrates which are usable by plants. Other bacteria may convert it into nitrogen gas and return it to the atmosphere in a process called ___________________________. Carbon cycle – Use these words to fill in the blanks Natural gas cellular respiration environment photosynthesis carbon fossil fuels All living things contain ________________. It’s also found in the ocean, air, and certain types of rock. Carbon cycles through living organisms and the _________________________. During ________________________________, organisms use oxygen to release energy and carbon dioxide. Some carbon remains locked away for millions of years in the form of ___________________-(coal, oil, _________________) and when burned will release carbon into the air. Plants are able to reduce environmental CO2 levels through the process of _______________________. In the diagram, which organism provides nutrients for the largest number of other organisms? a. b. c. d. Bluefish Snapper Seal Herring Which level of the food pyramid contains the most biomass? (look in your notes) a. b. c. d. Copepods Algae Bass Minnows In this food chain, the spiders area. b. c. d. producers primary consumers competitors secondary consumers According to this food web, which of these is an omnivore? a. b. c. d. caterpillar mouse ant fly larva Read the following symbiotic relationships and label if they are examples of parasitism, mutualism, or commensalim. ______________________________- In Africa the crocodile needs a plover bird to clean his teeth. The plover bird gets to eat the food between the crocodile’s teeth, while the crocodile gets cleaner mouth to keep surviving and hunting. ______________________________- Relationship between a human and pet dog ______________________________- Humans take milk from a cow ______________________________- Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whales. ______________________________- Silverfish live and hunt with army ants. They share the prey. ______________________________- Remoras attach themselves to a shark’s body. They then travel with the shark and feed on the leftover food scraps from the shark’s meals. ______________________________- Being bitten by a mosquito The collared peccary is often mistaken for a pig. It has a short pig-like snout and crushing molars. The peccary has a mass of 10–20 kg and a shoulder height of about 50 cm. The collared peccary is omnivorous, eating mostly roots, seeds, fruit, cacti, and occasionally insects and mice. Peccaries travel in herds of 6–30 animals. The natural enemies of the peccary are bobcats and coyotes. Which of these is a food web based on the relationships described above? Define – primary succession- secondary succession- Section: Community Ecology, Population Dynamics Density-dependent factor Densityindependent factor Logistic Growth Limiting Factor Exponential Growth Population Density Carrying Capacity Primary succession Climax community Secondary succession Lava flow fire Immigration Emigration Ecological succession Pioneer Species Term 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Definition Ex. There was an average of 4 american bison per sq.km in Northern Yellowstone in 2000. This is an example of ______? Abiotic factor or biotic factor that restricts the numbers, reproduction, or distribution of organisms The process of one community replacing another as a result of changing abiotic and biotic factors Type of growth when the population’s growth slow or stops at the population’s carrying capacity The maximum number of individuals in a species that an environment can support for the long term. the number of individuals moving into a population any factor in the environment that does not depend on population density. Ex. Oil spill, hurricanes, floods The first organisms to appear –ex. Lichens, moss A stable, mature community in which there is little change in the number of species any factor in the environment that depends on population density. Ex. populations limited by disease, competition, predators Ex. of primary succession 13. Populations grow until some limiting factor slow the growth. Gives a graph a “J” shape Ex. of secondary succession 14. the establishment of a community in an area of bare rock that does not have topsoil 15. the number of individuals moving away from a population The orderly and predictable change that takes place after a community of organisms has been removed but the soil remains 12. 16. Main Idea: Ecologists study environments at different levels of organization. Write a description of each level of organization in the table. Also, provide an example for each level. Level 1. Organism Description Example 2. Population 3. Community 4. Ecosystem 5. Biosphere Fill in the diagram below with the Levels of Organization studied in Ecology. Use the terms from the table above. Main Idea: An ecosystem includes both abiotic and biotic factors. Producers provide energy for other organisms in an ecosystem. Complete the following sentences with the correct term from the list below autotrophs eating nonliving abiotic living temperature producers moisture plants animals biotic consumers heterotrophs nonliving 6. All ecosystems are made up of ________________ and ___________________ components. 7. ______________ factors are living things, such as _______________ or _______________. 8. ______________factors are nonliving things, such as wind, ______________, or ______________. 9. ____________________ are organisms that get their energy from ___________________ resources, meaning they make their own food. These organisms are also called ______________________. 10. ___________________ are organisms that get their energy by __________________other organisms. These organisms are also called _________________________. 11. Why are producers so important to an ecosystem? __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ KEY CONCEPT: Food chains and food webs model the flow of energy in an ecosystem. Choose the correct term from the box below to fit each description. carnivore herbivore secondary consumer decomposer detritivore omnivore primary consumer tertiary consumer trophic levels 12.

I eat dead organic matter. I am a(n) _______________________. 16. I break down organic matter into simpler compounds. I am a(n) ______________________. 17. I am the first consumer above the producer level. I am a(n) ____________________. 18. I am a carnivore that eats herbivores. I am a(n) __________________________. 19.

How is a food web different from a food chain? __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ 22.
