Symbioses & Energy Movement
Across
- 1. a subcategory of parasitism in which the parasite lives in external openings of the host (like the mouth or ears)
- 5. a complex diagram that shows many feeding relationships in one ecosystem / community.
- 8. an organism that gets its energy by eating a primary consumer
- 11. a type of "micropredation" in which an animal eats all or part of a plant
- 12. energy stored in the mass of a living thing
- 14. an organism on which another lives
- 15. an organism that makes its own food (usually by photosynthesis)
- 17. competition between two members of different species.
- 21. a type of mutualism in which one organism performs an action and the other provides a physical material (like food or a shelter space)
- 22. the general term for any close relationship between two organisms that live together for an extended period of time.
- 24. competition between two members of the same species.
- 26. resource competition that is sometimes called "the contest" in which two individuals directly work against each other for a resource.
- 28. all species living in the same place and interacting with each other.
- 29. a subcategory of symbiosis in which one organism permanently lives in or on another individual without any real harm or benefit for the "home" individual.
- 32. an organism that gets its energy by eating plants and animals (and possibly other things too)
- 33. a symbiosis in which one species inhibits / harms / kills another without any real immediate benefit for itself
- 34. a subcategory of mutualism in which one or both of the organisms cannot survive without the other
- 35. a series of organisms that are linked to each other by a feeding relationship.
- 36. a subcategory of parasitism in which the parasite lives inside the host (blood, muscles, intestine, etc.)
Down
- 2. a subcategory of symbiosis in which one organism eats the fruit of another and transports its seeds to a new location by its feces.
- 3. The name in a food chain or food web of an organism that gets its energy by eating a producer.
- 4. resource competition that is sometimes called "the scramble" in which two organisms use up a shared resource without directly interacting.
- 6. a subcategory of parasitism in which the parasite burrows its way out of the host, often causing death (mostly occurs in insects)
- 7. a subcategory of symbiosis in which one organism produces a chemical (antibiotic) that kills another (usually a bacteria)
- 9. an organism that eats a tertiary consumer (or has four arrows between it and a plant)
- 10. an organism that eats another organism
- 13. a form of symbiosis in which both organisms benefit by living with the other
- 16. a type of mutualism in which both organisms perform an action for each other
- 18. a subcategory of parasitism in which the parasite lives on the outside of the host (skin, hair, etc.)
- 19. a subcategory of symbiosis in which one plant produces a chemical that slows the growth or kills other plants around it with no meaningful benefit for itself
- 20. a form of symbiosis in which one organism benefits by harming the other (without killing it immediately)
- 23. a subcategory of symbiosis in which one organism uses another for free transportation without harming or helping the organism that moves it
- 25. an interaction between individuals brought about by the need for the same limited resource which reduces the survivorship of both individuals.
- 27. an organism that eats a secondary consumer (or has three arrows between it and a plant)
- 28. a symbiosis between two organisms in which one benefits and the other experiences no effect.
- 30. the process by which plants and some protists obtain energy by making sugar using the suns energy
- 31. a type of interaction in which one organism kills and consumers another for its energy
