T or F: Energy flows from heterotrophs to autotrophs.

False. It flows from autotrophs to heterotrophs

A(n) ___________ collects energy from sunlight or inorganic substances to produce food.

autotroph

How does the range of tolerance for a species affect its distribution?

Ecosystems that have conditions outside of that species’ tolerance range for any factor will have low or virtually no organisms of that species.

Give an example of a symbiotic relationship in our community. Be sure to identify which symbiotic relationship you are describing.

Ticks on deer (parasitism)

T or F: Energy levels increase toward the top of the food chain.

False. It decreases.

In which type of symbiotic relationship would one organism benefit while the other is neither harmed or helped?

commensalism

Each step in a food chain or food web is called a…

Trophic level

Give an example of a competitive relationship in our community.

Deer and rabbits compete for grass

Suppose two leaf-eating species animals live in a habitat where there is a severe drought will probably have what kind of relationship?

competitive

Biotic or abiotic: a forest of deciduous trees

biotic

Describe the habitat and niche of an organism in this community.

Deer habitat: forest Deer niche: prey, herbivore

Give an example of a predator-prey relationship in our community.

Answers vary. Coyote and deer

T or F: Energy is most often released as light from an ecosystem.

False. It is released as heat.

____________ is the total mass of living matter at each trophic level.

biomass

T or F: Oak trees and mushrooms are two types of forest autotrophs.

False, mushrooms are heterotrophs

Explain the flow of energy through any ecosystem, starting with where all energy on earth originates and how it gets passed through organisms.

Energy in all ecosystems comes from the sun. Autotrophs capture the energy. Heterotrophs eat autotrophs and each other. Energy decreases as you move up levels

Biotic or Abiotic: soil bacteria content

biotic

Biotic or abiotic: an ocean current of cold water

abiotic

List the levels of ecological organization in order from least to most complex. (start with organism)

Organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere

Compare and contrast biotic and abiotic factors.

Both factors influence an organism’s survival and reproduction. Biotic factors are living things, while abiotic factors are nonliving things.

Red-tailed hawks and black racer snakes that prey on the same species of rodents in the same habitat would have what kind of relationship?

competitive

A fish protecting a shrimp, who builds a burrow for the pair to share would be an example of which symbiotic relationship?

mutualism

Biotic or abiotic: fungi and moss on a rotting log

biotic

What type of relationship do coyotes have with mice and rabbits?

Predation

T or F: Energy for most organisms originates from the sun.

true

Compare and contrast mutualism and parasitism.

Both are symbiotic relationships. In mutualism, both organisms benefit. In parasitism, one organism benefits and the other’s expense.

Approximately ___% of the energy at each level is used up or lost as heat, leaving only __% of energy to be stored and passed to the next level.

90/10

Biotic or abiotic: a polar bear on an ice floe

biotic
