Front

What is a predator?

Back

A predator is an organism that hunts and eats other organisms (prey) for food.

Front

What is prey?

Back

Prey is an organism that is hunted and eaten by predators.

Front

Define abiotic factors.

Front

Define biotic factors.

Back

Biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Front

How do predator and prey populations affect each other?

Back

Predator populations increase when prey populations increase, and decrease when prey populations decrease.

Front

What is an example of an abiotic factor in a rainforest?

Back

Rainfall is an example of an abiotic factor in a rainforest.

Front

What is a biome?

Back

A biome is a large geographic biotic unit, a major community of plants and animals with similar life forms and environmental conditions.

Front

How do abiotic factors influence biotic factors?

Back

Abiotic factors like temperature and rainfall influence the growth and survival of biotic factors, such as plants and animals.

Front

What is an example of a biotic interaction?

Back

A monkey eating fruit is an example of a biotic interaction.

Front

What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?

Back

Decomposers break down dead organic matter, returning nutrients to the soil and supporting plant growth.
