  1. 2. In ecology, the term habitat summarises the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species. A species habitat can be seen as the physical manifestation of its ecological niche.
  2. 6. an intraspecific relationship in which one species (the commensal) obtains benefits such as food, shelter, or locomotion from another species (the host) without causing adverse effects.
  3. 8. Association between two different organisms wherein one benefits at the expense of the other.
  4. 9. the role an organism plays in a community
  5. 12. an organism that mostly feeds on plants.
  6. 14. a group of species that are commonly found together
  7. 17. a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life
  8. 20. the interaction of individuals that vie for a common resource that is in limited supply,
  9. 25. consists of all the food chains in a single ecosystem
  10. 26. a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment
  11. 27. an organism that regularly consumes a variety of material, including plants, animals, algae, and fungi.

  1. 1. the interaction between two dissimilar organisms living in close physical association.
  2. 3. any kind of green plant
  3. 4. made up of the parts of Earth where life exists—all ecosystems
  4. 5. the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
  5. 6. organism on the food chain that depends on autotrophs (producers) or other consumers for food, nutrition, and energy.
  6. 7. a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another in nature and produce fertile offspring.
  7. 8. animals that are killed and eaten by other animals
  8. 10. All organisms in an ecosystem depend upon each other. If the population of one organism rises or falls, then this can affect the rest of the ecosystem.
  9. 11. the ecological process by which energy is transferred from living animal to living animal based on the behavior of a predator that captures and kills a prey before eating it
  10. 13. organism that breaks down dead organic material
  11. 15. a living organism that shapes its environment
  12. 16. group of organisms linked in order of the food they eat, from producers to consumers, and from prey, predators, scavengers, and decomposers.
  13. 18. transferred between organisms in food webs from producers to consumers.
  14. 19. a group of individuals of the same species living and interbreeding within a given area
  15. 20. mutually beneficial interactions that occur among individuals of the same species or between different species.
  16. 21. organisms that hunt and kill other organisms for food
  17. 22. an area classified according to the species that live in that location
  18. 23. a type of symbiotic relationship where all species involved benefit from their interactions.
  19. 24. an organism that mostly eats meat, or the flesh of animals.
