  • Interdependence refers to the reciprocal relationships between organisms within an ecosystem
  • Symbiotic Relationships are close interactions between two different species where at least one benefits
  • Interdependence within ecosystems ensures the survival and health of each species through the exchange of resources, services, or protection
  • Symbiotic relationships are only found in marine ecosystems
    False
  • Predator-prey relationships maintain balance and stability in ecosystems
    True
  • The prey benefits from being eaten by a predator
    False
  • Match the relationship type with its description:
    Mutualism ↔️ Both organisms benefit
    Commensalism ↔️ One benefits, the other is unaffected
    Parasitism ↔️ One benefits, the other is harmed
  • In commensalism, one organism benefits while the other is harmed
    False
  • Prey populations are controlled by predator activity
    True
  • What are the key stages of the carbon cycle?
    Photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition
  • Which type of symbiotic relationship harms one organism while benefiting the other?
    Parasitism
  • Interdependence contributes to the stability of ecosystems
    True
  • Match the symbiotic relationship with its example:
    Mutualism ↔️ Bees pollinating flowers
    Commensalism ↔️ Barnacles on whales
    Parasitism ↔️ Tapeworms in humans
  • What is an example of a parasitic relationship?
    Ticks feeding on dogs
  • A predator-prey relationship affects the population dynamics of both the predator and the prey
  • Interdependence ensures the survival and health of each species involved through the exchange of resources, services, or protection
  • In mutualism, both species gain necessary resources or services
  • A predator-prey relationship maintains balance within the ecosystem
  • Pollution contaminates the environment and harms organisms
    True
  • Mutualism occurs when one organism benefits and the other is harmed
    False
  • Order the types of symbiotic relationships based on their impact on organisms:
    1️⃣ Mutualism
    2️⃣ Commensalism
    3️⃣ Parasitism
  • What is an example of a mutualistic relationship?
    Bees pollinating flowers
  • Clownfish live among the tentacles of sea anemones in a mutualistic relationship, receiving protection while the anemones receive nutrients from the clownfish's waste
  • What role do predator-prey relationships play in ecosystems?
    Maintaining balance and stability
  • What is interdependence in ecosystems?
    Reciprocal relationships between organisms
  • What are symbiotic relationships in ecosystems?
    Close interactions between species
  • What happens to the host in parasitism?
    Negatively impacted or harmed
  • Match the ecological process with its description:
    Carbon Cycle ↔️ Circulation and transformation of carbon
    Food Webs ↔️ Transfer of energy and nutrients
  • Habitat destruction disrupts symbiotic relationships and food webs
