Questions and Answers

What is the definition of a population?

  • A group of organisms that hunt and eat together
  • A group of different organisms living together in the same habitat
  • A group of organisms that have a symbiotic relationship
  • A group of the same kind of organisms living together in the same habitat (correct)

    • What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?

  • A food chain is a map of feeding relationships, while a food web is a diagram of energy flow
  • A food chain shows the flow of energy between organisms, while a food web shows the relationship between producers and consumers
  • A food chain is a diagram of energy flow, while a food web is a map of feeding relationships
  • A food chain shows one path of energy transfer, while a food web shows multiple paths of energy transfer (correct)

    • What is the definition of mutualism?

  • A relationship where one is benefited but the giver or host is not affected or harmed
  • A relationship where one organism feeds on plants
  • A relationship where one organism depends on another for food and harms the host in the process

    Study Notes

    Ecology

    • A population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific geographic area, sharing a common gene pool, and capable of interbreeding.

    Food Relationships

    • A food chain is a series of organisms that eat other organisms, with each level being consumed by the next level, forming a linear sequence.
    • A food web is a complex network of food chains that are interconnected, showing multiple feeding relationships between different species.

    Symbiotic Relationships

    • Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit from each other's presence.
    • Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other organism is not affected.

    Physics

    • Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact, resulting in a resistance to motion.

    Ecological Roles

    • A scavenger is an organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter, playing a crucial role in decomposition and nutrient cycling.
    • Mimicry is a defense mechanism where one species evolves to resemble another species, often to avoid predators or attract prey.
