THIS applies to any number of interactions where ONE type of organism KILLS another for ITS ENERGY

• WEAPONS

• LEAF INSTINCTS

• PREDADTION

• SNOWSHOE HARES

THIS is where an organism eats plants or algae to capture their energy.

• PARASITISM

• ENERGY

• HERBIVORY

• EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT

THIS IS a form of predation in which organisms derive energy from the host usually harming it and sometimes killing it in the process.

• HERBIVORY

• PARASITISM

• STICK INSECTS

• LEAF INSECTS

AN EXAMPLE OF HERBIVORY AND PARASITISM IS...

• GRASSHOPPERS AND HUMANS

• HUMANS AND HAIR WORMS

• HAIR WORMS AND GRASSHOPPERS

• BARNACLES AND WHALES

The need to survive constantly forces predator and prey to _________________________AND ____________ in a never-ending evolutionary arms-race.

• PARASITISM & DEFENSE

• EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT & HERBIVORY

• ADAPT WEAPONS & DEFENSE

• ADAPT WEAPONS & STICK INSECTS

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

THIS TYPE OF MIMICRY IS WHEN the more unpalatable prey there are that use the same color patterns, the more likely predators are to avoid all prey with that appearance in general.

• MULLERIAN MIMICRY

• BATESIAN MIMICRY

• EVOLUTIONARY MIMICRY

• HERBIVORY MIMICRY

Some critters that look dangerous would actually be quite tasty to any predator; they just trick everyone by COPYING THE LOOKS of the truly dangerous species. This technique is called ____________________________________.

• MULLERIAN MIMICRY

• BATESIAN MIMICRY

• EVOLUTIONARY MIMICRY

• PARASITISM MIMICRY

What ARE TWO possible answers to why so many mimics

are not perfect imitations of their dangerous counterparts?

• perfect imitation isn’t necessary to do the job

• mimics lack the genes necessary to perfectly resemble their poisonous counterparts

• SOME CRITTERS JUST WANT TO DIE

• SOME CRITTERS LIKE TO EAT FOOD
