Nature’s recyclers…. Decomposers
Food Chain Order 1. Sun 2. Producers 3. Herbivores 4. Carnivores 5. Scavengers
Herbivores, carnivores, and scavengers are examples of… consumers
Animals that eat meat and plants are… Omnivores
Scientists who study the connection among living things specialize in the science of… EcologY
Most PRODUCERS are… PLANTS
An example of POPULATION… All the oak trees in a forest
Commensalism - ~ An orchid living on a tree branch
Parasitism - ~A tick feeding on an bird
As aphids get food from plants, they make food for ants. These ants help aphids find new places to eat. This is an example of: mutualism
Energy moving through an ecosystem can be represented by 3 things…. Food web
A ________________ contains BOTH a biotic and abiotic environment. an ecosystem
A COMMUNITY… • contains only a biotic environment. Living Things: tree squirrel Fish bird
Organisms that get energy by breaking down the remains of the dead organisms are called:
What is YOUR part in your ecosystem? • consumer
What feeds on the bodies of dead animals? scavengers
Relationship between an ecosystem and a biome is… • a biome can contain one or more ecosystems.
The best example of community • 1. A rainbow trout • 2. All the rainbow trout in a stream • 3. The water, rocks, and organisms in a stream • 4. All the rainbow trout, other fish, and insects in the stream
When the people cut down trees, they destroyed the habitats of the rabbit’s predators. People in a community cut down trees in a forest so they could use the wood. They cut down many trees each year. After several years, a population of rabbits in a nearby field had become so large that the rabbits were causing problems for the community. What is the explanation?
Energy Pyramid for the Food Web Fish gull, lobster Prawn, crabs, whelk, mussels Who are the producers? Seaweed and phytoplankton Limpets and zoo plankton What are the herbivores? Limpets and zoo plankton Seaweed & phytoplankton
