• Producers
• Consumers
• Detritivores
• Carnivores

A graphic illustration that shows each trophic level and the amount of useable energy contained within.

• Food chain
• Food web
• Energy Pyramid
• All of these

What does a food web represent?

• All connections of energy flow throughout all organisms in a habitat.
• The specific ways that mutualism is carried out.
• A single pathway or energy flow between organisms. 
• How carnivores get their food. 

What is the term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a biological community?

• energy path
• food web
• trophic level
• food pyramid

What does every food chain start with? (Even if it's not drawn or written there!)

• producers
• sun
• consumer
• decomposers

relationship in which two species live closely together

• resource
• mutualism
• succession
• symbiosis

What type of symbiosis?
  * Hummingbirds feed on nectar from flowers.
 * Flowers are pollinated by hummingbirds as they move from flower to flower.

• commensalism
• mutualism
• parasitism
• predation

What type of symbiosis?
*Remora use suckers to attach temporarily to large marine animals such as sharks, manta rays, whales, turtles, or large fish.
*The shark provides free transportation, protection, and dropped food and feces which the remora feeds on. The host is not injured.

• commensalism
• mutualism
• parasitism
• predation
