Honors Chapter 6: Ecosystem Balance Review
Consumers that actively hunt other living organisms
are called_________.
predators
This is why new species are able to form on islands
Large niche diversity, no competition, no
predators
This might happen after a forest fire
Secondary succession
The organism that is being eaten
prey
Give an example of a mutualistic relationship
Chance for a triple!!!!
What two organisms make up a lichen?
Fungi & Algae
Chance for a double!!
T/FPrey population follows predator
population in size
False
What two factors determine a terrestrial biome?
Temperature & Rainfall
Chance for a double!!
What is the most diverse terrestrial biome?
Tropical Rain Forest
A community that does not undergo further succession is
called
Climax Community
One organism benefits the other is harmed
Parasitism
Compare & contrast the desert & the tundra
Both receive little rainfall however desert is hot & the
tundra is cold
Bare Rock, Glaciers retreating
Primary succession
Describe the steps of primary succession
Bare rock, lichens, soil formation, grasses, shrubs,
seedlings, large mature trees.
Chance for a home run!!!!!!
Give an example of commensalism
Chance for a double!!
Why are there so many birds in an island community
B/C they can get there easier than other animals b/c of flight
T/FIf an ecosystem goes out of balance, it cannot adjust to regain the balanced state.
False
Give an example of a parasitic relationship
Chance for a double!!
75% of Earth’s biomass is contained in
forests
An increase in a predator population will directly result in
A decrease in the prey population
Chance for a home run!!!!!!
Describe the difference between predation & parasitism
When would you find populations of host organisms
parasitized?When they are overcrowded
Describe the Chaos theory
Chance for a triple!!
An organism that feeds on the body fluids or tissues of
another organism but does not kill it is called a
_________________.
Parasite
Name the three different types of forests
Deciduous
Coniferous
Rain
Which biome do you live in?
Deciduous Forest
What are two theories that explain how the dinosaurs became extinct?
Large comet or asteroid & Changing climate
Chance for a homerun!!!
Which stage of succession has a high evaporation rate?
Grass
Describe the process of aquatic succession
Chance for a triple!!
Which stage of succession is more biodiverse?
Forests
T/F Most communities never reach
a climax stage
TRUE
Any relationship in which two species live closely together &
at least one species is benefitting.
Symbiosis
