Science Study Guide page 2 Skip questions 15-19 Decomposers break down dead organisms for food while producers create their own food Parasitism is when one organism lives on or in another organism and gains food, shelter, or some other advantage while hurting are harming the host. Commensalism is when two organisms interact and only one benefits while the other isn’t helped or harmed, while mutualism is when 2 organisms interact and both are helped as a result. You notice a tick on a deer. In this relationship the deer is the host and the tick is a parasite. This type of relationship is known as parasitism. Mutualism -Termites are able to digest their meal and P rotists get a meal. Commensalism mites are not harming or helping the host. Commensalism the cattle egret gets a meal and transportation Mutualism they both benefit
Study Guide Page 3 Biome Review:
Study Guide Page 3 Biome Review Climate, Temperature, and Precipitation. This question should read “This biome is the 2 nd largest and a northern biome, it does not receive much rain, contains permafrost and has a very short growing season . Answer Tundra Savanna Tundra and Desert Taiga Deciduous Tropical Rain Forest Deciduous Since the climate temperature , and precipitation varies with elevation it is impossible to classify a mountain as just one type of biome. One may have deciduous type conditions at the base of the mountain and tundra like conditions at the summit of the mountain Fresh water Estuary Marine Tundra Arctic Fox Grassland biome Desert ---Lizards are also able to produce concentrated urine to help them conserve water Deciduous

Herbivore, Omnivore and Carnivore Each consumes different types of food Herbivore plants only Omnivore plants and animals Carnivore meat only They are all consumers Herbivore: Rabbit Omnivore: Bear Carnivore: Shark 3. Scavenger and Carnivore Scavenger s do not stalk and kill their food they eat what’s already been killed Carnivores hunt and kill their food Both eat meat Scavenger Vulture Lion 4.

A lot of it is lost as heat energy 17. 150kcal of energy \ 18. Cactus and tree – Producer, Mouse and Rabbit herbivores, Weasel--- 1 st level Carnivore Bobcat and Hawk ----2 nd Level Carnivore The direction the energy in flowing toward. . The cactus energy is consumed by the rabbit so the cactus energy is flowing into the rabbit. Weasel and mouse; Weasel and Rabbit; Hawk and Rabbit; Bobcat and Weasel Bobcat and Hawk Population that Dies Population of organisms most directly affected Why Population of organisms is affected Cactus Mouse No other food source for the mouse Weasel Bobcat No other food source for the Weasel Bobcat Weasel Bobcat o nly preys on the weasel
