  1. Ecology & evolution Review

  2. The role an organism has in an ecosystem (carnivore, omnivore, etc) is known as their _____. • Niche

  3. What niche does the organism that is circled have? • Producer

  4. A dog is infected with heart worms that weaken the heart muscles. What type of symbiosis is taking place between a dog and heart worm? • Parasitism

  5. ___________is the establishment of a community in an area of exposed rock that does not have any topsoil. • Primary Succession

  6. The clownfish has shelter in the sea anemone and the sea anemone get food that the fish brings. What type of symbiosis is taking place between a clownfish and sea anemone? • Mutualism

  7. The total energy transfer from one tropic level to another is about _______%. • 10%

  8. Flower  Caterpillar  Frog How does energy flow? • From the flower to the caterpillar then to the frog

  9. Study of how living things interact with their environment • Ecology

  10. Simple model for showing how mater and energy moves through the ecosystem • Food chain

  11. Identify this biome: The biome in which we live • Temperate Forest

  12. Manufactures food using energy from the sun; makes their own food • Autotrophs or producers

  13. A tree provides a habitat for lichens, allowing it to receive ample sunlight. What type of symbiosis is taking place between a tree and lichen? • Commensalism

  14. What niche does the organism that is circled have? • Herbivore

  15. Give an example of an abiotic factor • Air • Rocks • Water • Soil

  16. What do the arrows represent in a food web? • Movement of energy

  17. Feeds on dead organisms • Scavenger

  18. Orderly, natural changes that take place in the ecosystems • Succession

  19. What niche does the organism that is circled have? • Carnivore

  20. Groups formed by several populations • Community

  21. Relationship between organisms in which BOTH organisms benefit • Mutualism

  22. The relationship between a cat and mouse would best be described as…. • Predator/Prey

  23. The process of increasing a chemical concentration through the food chain is called • Biomagnification

  24. All energy originates here • Sun

  25. A stable, mature community that undergoes little or no change • Climax community

  26. What type of consumer (carnivore) is the snake? • Tertiary

  27. A forest fire destroy the forest & new grasses grow back. This is an example of.. • Secondary succession

  28. Identify this biome: Permafrost is present • Tundra

  29. The relationship of a tapeworm & human • Parasitic/Parasitism

  30. Organisms that break down dead organisms • Decomposer

  31. Relationship between organisms in which one benefits & the other is unaffected • Commensalism

  32. List the two factors that determine where the biome is located • Temperature • Precipitation

  33. Identify this biome: Plant cover is sparse and characterized by drought tolerant bushes & cacti • Desert

  34. Identify…Lies below the tundra & typically has different species of fir & spruce trees • Taiga

  35. Identify…receives about 17 feet of rain per year. The most rainfall of any biome. • Tropical Rain Forest

  36. Identify…Little precipitation; does not support trees, but grasses & herbs are abundant. • Grasslands

  37. Identify biome… has a lot of reptiles & rodents • Desert
