3 Identify which characteristic of living things is being described in each of the statements below. Some may be used more than once! A. All living things contain cells. B. All living things contain DNA. C. All living things obtain and use energy. D. All living things reproduce. E. All living things respond to stimuli. F. All living things maintain an internal balance- homeostasis. G. All living things grow and develop. H. All living things evolve as a population. 1. An amoeba is a unicellular organism. 2. When a human steps out into the cold air, the body begins to shiver in order to keep its temperature at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. Green plants produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. 4. An adult hydra is producing its offspring through budding. 5. The roots of a plant grow towards a source of ground water. 6. Over three years, Tim's height has increased from 5'4" to 5'11". 7. A pill bug eats a carrot. 8. A baby songbird hatches from its egg with both parent songbirds watching. 9. A tulip opens up in the morning at sunrise and closes up in the evening at sunset. 10. Identical twins have % of the same genes. Levels of Organization Put the following terms in order from the largest (#1) to smallest (#5). Community Biosphere Organism Population Ecosystem Given the list of organisms in each set below, indicate which level of organization is being studied (look at the list above!). A. Herd of deer: B. Rock, Bald Eagle, Crocodile, Palm Tree, Hot Weather: C. Zebra: D. Blue Whale, Squid, Sponge, Blue Marlin, Orca, Dolphin E. Lion laying in the grass spying on a giraffe: 3

7 1. Write out 3 food chains found in the food web above. Be sure to use ARROWS! A. B. C. 2. List the organisms above in the following categories: (You may use an organism more than once!) Producer (Hint: 2 organisms) Primary consumers (Hint: 3 organisms) Secondary consumers (Hint: 3 organisms) Tertiary consumers (Hint: 3 organisms) 3. Fill in the energy pyramid using organisms from ONE of the AQUATIC food chains you listed in above. Label each trophic level as producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, or tertiary consumer. 4. What would happen if crabs were removed from this ecosystem? Think about what organism populations would increase or decrease in number as a result of this and WHY. 7

8 Using the food web above to answer the following questions 5. How would other organisms be affected if the garter snake were removed from this ecosystem? 6. How would other organisms in this ecosystem be affected if the number of grasshoppers doubled? 7. What is the mouse s food source? What type of consumer is the mouse? 8. How many food chains can you find that with grass as the producer and a hawk as the final consumer? The diagram below shows an energy pyramid. Fill in the correct amount of available energy at each level. kcal The energy lost at each level is lost due to? kcal kcal 10,000 kcal Fill in the following energy pyramids to show how much energy would be available at each trophic level. Kcal 8

9 units Directions: Complete a Venn diagram that compares and contrasts Primary Succession to Secondary Succession using the following bulleted phrases **ONLY WRITE THE LETTER A. No previously existing life. B. Plants and Animals adapt. C. Low biodiversity D. Comes after a natural disaster. E. Climax Community. F. Starts as a result of a forest fire or flood. G. Starts as the result of a volcano or receding glacier. H. Previously existing life. I. Pioneer Species. J. Starts with previously existing soil. K. Starts on bare rock. L. Lichens break down rock. M. Happens relatively slow. N. Happens relatively fast. O. Gradual growth. P. High biodiversity 9

10 Example 1. Some shrimp and crab live and capture food from within the tentacles of giant anemones. 2. A pearlfish spends the day inside the alimentary tract, or intestines, of a sea cucumber. The fish emerges from the sea cucumber at night to feed on small crustaceans. The pearlfish gets a safe place to live. The sea cucumber does not gain anything from the relationship, nor is it harmed. 3. A cymothoid isopod lives inside the mouth of a snapper fish. The isopod severs blood vessels in the fish s tongue, causing the tongue to atrophy and degenerate. The isopod then hooks its pereopods, or legs, to the base of the fish s tongue, essentially replacing the tongue. The isopod stays there for the rest of its life, feeding on blood, mucus, and stray pieces of food from the fish. 4. A bear captures salmon swimming in a river during the salmon spawning season. 5. Mistletoe plant extracts water and nutrients from the spruce to the spruce tree s detriment. 6. A caterpillar feeds on the leaves of a milkweed plant. Name the Relationship: Commensalism, Mutualism, Parasitism, Predator/Prey, or Competition 7. Hermit crabs live in shells made and then abandoned by snails. 8. Two male rams use their horns in a fight over who will be the lead alpha and mate with the surrounding females. 9. Corals feed off the byproducts of a microscopic algae living within their own tissue, called zooxanthellae. The photosynthetic activity of the algae is vital to the survival of the coral animals, which use the energy to extract calcium from the seawater and build their calcareous skeletons. The zooxanthellae are protected by the hard coral and obtain plant nutrients from the coral. 10. A tapeworm needs to eat food that is already digested, so it lives in the intestines of a dogfish shark and derives nourishment from the shark. As a result of the tapeworm infestation, the shark is weakened and more vulnerable to disease and predation. 11. Cheetahs and lions both species feed on similar prey such as antelope 12. Cyanobacteria (algae) live among filaments of a fungus. The fungus benefits from the cyanobacteria because they produce food by photosynthesis. 10
