1. Tuesday 1-21-14 • Review Ecology Game • Journal check & • Test Thursday!

3. THIS IS

4. Team #1 Team #2 Meet the Teams... Team #3 Team #4

5. Rules • Person 1 goes first. Each person gets their turn in order • You may challenge someone if you believe their answer is incorrect. • If you get an answer wrong it will be subtracted from your total. • Questions must be chosen in order of value within a category Within the question slides • Click anywhere (except arrow) to view answer. • Click on the arrow to go back to the selection board

6. Here are today's categories!

7. Jeopardy Variation, Adaptation & Extinction Survival Types of Relationships Anything Goes Food Chains & Webs 100 100 100 100 100 200 200 200 200 200 300 300 300 300 300 400 400 400 400 400 500 500 500 500 500

8. Survival, 100 Points • The maximum number of organisms that an ecosystem can support. Carrying Capacity

9. Survival, 200 Points Describe “survival of the fittest” Organisms that are better suited for their environment survive and reproduce more effectively

10. Survival, 300 Points • What will happen to unsuccessful traits in a population over time? • What will happen to successful traits in a population over time • Those organisms that survive the longest probably have the best ___________ Increase, decrease, adaptations

11. Survival, 400 Points • Give an example of an abiotic and biotic limiting factor for a population of frogs If the frogs did not have enough insects and other living organisms to eat, this biotic factor would limit their population. If an ecosystem were too cold, dry, or the soil was too rocky these abiotic factors would limit the population.

12. Survival, 500 Points • Scarlet Tenagers feed on bugs in leafy trees, which type of finch would probably decrease if Tenagers were introduced to the Galapagos Islands? Why? Insectivorous Tree Finches - Competition

13. Relationships, 100 Points • A close, long-term relationship, between two or more species is a __________ relationship. Symbiotic

14. Relationships, 200 Points • A relationship that is beneficial to both organisms is known as what kind of symbiotic relationship? Mutualism

15. Relationships, 300 Points What interactive relationship exists between the turtle and the egret? Competition-they both eat sunfish

16. Relationships, 400 Points • What type of relationship exists between a tree and a bird that builds a nest on one of the tree’s branches? Commensalism, the bird benefits, the tree is unaffected.

17. Relationships, 500 Points • What interactive relationship exists between the bass and the sunfish? Be specific. Predation: Bass is predator, sunfish is prey.

18. Food chains/webs, 100 Points • Give 1 example of an autotroph from the food web below. Shrub or Algae

19. Food chains/webs, 200 Points • What will happen to the deer population if the raccoon population drastically decreases? Decrease, because mountain lions won’t have a choice of what to eat.

20. Food chains/webs, 300 Points • What does the egret have to do to get chemical energy? Eat a sunfish

21. Food chains/webs, 400 Points • Which organism(s) in the web have the ability to turn radiant energy into chemical energy? Algae and Shrub

22. Food chains/webs, 500 Points • According to the web, which organism(s) could be a tertiary consumer? raccoon, alligator, bass, turtle, egret. (carnivore eats carnivore)

23. Adaptations, 100 Points • What are variations? Give an example. Small differences in an organism caused by genetic mutations that can be passed on to offspring. Ex: beak size, feet, color of fish, etc.

24. Adaptations, 200 Points • Adaptations increasea species chance of survival. Give an example of an adaptation and explain how it helps that organism to survive. Ex: Rabbits who’s fur grows in thicker during the winter are more likely to survive the cold temperatures.

25. Adaptations, 300 Points • The number one cause of extinction to organisms today is…. Habitat Destruction

26. Adaptations, 400 Points • When soot started turning the trees black, what adaptation did the moths undergo? Why was this adaptation essential to their survival? Dark peppered moths increased in population because they were able to blend in with the dark trees and hide from predators better.

27. Adaptations, 500 Points • Name 3 things that humans can do help save organisms that are in danger of extinction. Protect the endangered species, protect their habitats, decrease pollution, decrease use of pesticides and herbicides, etc.

28. Miscellaneous, 100 Points • What is ecology? The study of relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in environments.

29. Miscellaneous, 200 Points • Give an example of an abiotic factor in a biome. Water, clouds, air, sun, etc. (Anything NOT living)

30. Miscellaneous, 300 Points Which consumer(s) has the greatest amount of energy and what class of consumer are they Rabbits, mice and insects. They are primary consumers.

31. Miscellaneous, 400 Points • What is the source of energy for most living things? The sun

32. Miscellaneous, 500 Points • Explain the consequences of habitat destruction and species extinction. When habitats are destroyed and species become extinct, the food web gets messed up and there is less biodiversity.
