Ecology Review

6. Biomes that are in or have to do with water. They are either freshwater or saltwater.
8. Interaction in which one organism eats another
9. Living factors in the environment.
13. The struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources
15. Biome a biome that has little or no plant life, long periods without rain, and extreme temperatures; usually found in hot climates
18. Interaction that helps both species involved
19. Animals hunted or caught for food
20. Non-living factors in an environment
21. plant life
24. symbol for the transfer of energy in a food web
25. An organism that eats only plants
26. a small or specialized habitat within a larger habitat
27. The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical environment.
30. Anything that has mass and takes up space
31. Interaction that helps one species while neither helping nor harming the other
32. a group of organisms of the same species populating a given area
34. An organism that lives in or on another organism; one who lives off another person
35. An organism that is a mix of algae and a fungus
36. The source of energy for plants
37. A group of ecosystems that share similar climates and organisms
39. organism that obtains energy by eating animals
40. The process by which plants and some other organisms capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food.

1. All the different populations that live together in an area
2. A type of close and long-term biological interaction between two different species. Commensalism, parasitism and mutualism are the three types.
3. Events that impact the ecosystem
4. An animal that hunts other animals for food
5. the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism.
7. Any living thing
10. Biomes on land (forests, taiga, tundra, etc.)
11. organism that obtains energy by eating both plants and animals
12. prefix meaning life
14. to make or become larger; to add to
16. Anything that has mass and takes up space
17. animal life
21. web. A diagram that shows the transfer of energy among the organisms in an ecosystem
22. A biome with many types of long grasses. Region has four seasons e.g. Canada.
23. to become smaller or less
28. Interaction in which two or more species require the same limited resources
29. Interaction that benefits one species (the parasite) that lives in or on the other (host). The host is usually harmed.
33. Ground that is permanently frozen-found in the tundra
38. A community of organisms and their abiotic environment
