1) What is an ecosystem? (2 pts)
- A community of living organisms (plants, animals, microbes) interacting with each other and with their non-living (abiotic) environment (air, water, soil, sunlight), including energy flow and nutrient cycling.
2) Ecosystems consist of living and non-living things. (1 pt)
- True
3) Fill in the blank: Food webs show where organisms get _____ from. (1 pt)
- energy
4) Why is the predator/prey relationship important, especially in the rabbits and foxes example? (2 pts)
- Predator–prey relationships regulate population sizes and maintain ecosystem balance. For example, foxes eating rabbits keeps rabbit numbers from overgrazing vegetation; when rabbit numbers rise, fox numbers can increase, and if rabbits fall, fox numbers decline — creating population cycles and healthier populations overall.
5) Why do owls and hawks both thrive in the same environment even though they compete for the same food? (1 pt)
- they have adapted to where one hunts at night and the other hunts at day
6) What is an example of a parasitic relationship? (2 pts)
- A tick feeding on a dog (or a tapeworm living in a human’s intestine). The parasite benefits while the host is harmed.
7) The bacteria in a termite's stomach is considered what type of relationship? (1 pt)
- Mutualistic
8) Fill in the blanks: An orchid's relationship with ___ are considered to be ___. The orchid gets more while the tree is neither helped nor harmed. (1 pt)
- trees; commensalism
9) Match the definitions of the different types of symbiosis. (5 pts)
- Predation: One organism kills and eats another.
- Competition: Two organisms compete for the same limited resources, harming one or both.
- Parasitism: One organism benefits (parasite) while the other is harmed (host).
- Mutualism: Both organisms benefit.
- Commensalism: One benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
10) What does an ecologist do? (1 pt)
- study all kinds of ecosystems, and knowing the interactions can help her or him preserve ecosystems.
11) Match the type of symbiosis with the examples given. (5 pts)
- Honeybee pollinates flower; bee gets nutrients → Mutualism
- Killer whale and seal both eat penguins → Competition
- Deer spreads Burdock seeds by carrying them; deer not harmed → Commensalism
- Snake eats the frog; frog does not benefit → Predation
- Mosquito drinks blood from humans; humans can get disease → Parasitism
