Many of these
overlapping,
single pathways
make up
a food web.
A 100
What are Food
Chains?
A 100
This is the primary
energy source of
any food web, in
any ecosystem.
A 200
What is the sun?
A 200
All plant-eaters are
in this trophic
level of a food web.
A 300
What is the primary
or first level?
A 300
A quaternary
consumer is also
known as this level
consumer
(some number)
A 400
What is the 4th
level?
A 400
In any food web, the
arrows always point in
this direction.
A 500
What is “of energy transfer?”
A 500
“self-feeder”
B 100
What is an
autotroph?
B 100
“otherfeeder”
B 200
What is an
heterotroph?
B 200
Humans, birds and
bears may be thought of
as this
type of ‘vore
B 300
What is an
omnivore?
B 300
This primary (first
level) consumer is
this type of ‘vore.
B 400
What is a
herbivore?
B 400
This type of ‘vore
eats decomposing
organic matter
called detritus.
B 500
What is a
detritivore?
B 500
Producers are all
this type of
‘troph.
C 100
What is an autotroph?
C 100
Consumers are
all this type of
‘troph.
C 200
What is a
heterotroph?
C 200
The organism in the
picture is this type
of ‘troph.
C 300
What is a
heterotroph?
C 300
DAILY
Place A Wager
DOUBLE
C 400
A bacon-double
cheeseburger with lettuce
onions and tomatoes may
be lunch for this
type of ‘vore.
C 400
What is an omnivore?
C 400
This tertiary
(third level)
consumer
may be this type of
‘vore.
C 500
What is a carnivore
or omnivore?
C 500
This layer in the
Earth’s atmosphere is
being depleted which
may let in the UV rays
that harms living
things.
D 100
ozone
D 100
Pollution from car exhaust
and factories may combine
with water vapor in the air to
form this type of rain. (It can raise
the pH of lakes and streams, which
caused loss of species.)
D 200
What is acid?
D 200
Clearing rainforests for
farmland or firewood,
destroys the “homes” of
many animals. An animal’s
“home” is known this.
D 300
What is habitat?
D 300
A form of water pollution in
which detergents are dumped
into lakes and ponds, may
cause this type of growth, that
can lead to the death of fish.
D 400
What is an algal bloom?
D 400
This is the term for separation of
wilderness areas from other wilderness
areas due to development of the land
by human development. (It can
greatly disrupt habitats and cause
local species extinction.)
D 500
What is habitat
fragmentation?
D 500
Too much greenhouse gases,
can lead to too much
greenhouse effect, which
can lead to this type of
warming.
E 100
What is global?
E 100
Water, snow, sleet
or hail falling to
earth.
E 200
What is precipitation?
E 200
This is the process of
water vapor becoming
liquid droplets.
E 300
What is
condensation?
E 300
This greenhouse gas contains
inorganic carbon which
may be released to the
atmosphere by breathing,
or burning fossil fuels.
E 400
What is carbon dioxide
( CO2)?
E 400
Fertilizer used by farmers
contains an organic form of
this element. Besides fertilizer
this element may also
become organic by lightning the
atmosphere or bacteria in the
soil.
E 500
What is nitrogen
(N2)?
E 500
The study of the
relationship between
organisms and their
environment. It
involves interactions
with their environment
as well as each other.
F 100
What is Ecology ?
F 100
The place on Earth
where all life can be
found.
F 200
What is the biosphere?
F 200
These make up the
nonliving part of the
environment
including: air
currents,
temperature,
moisture, soil,
sunlight, etc..
F 300
What are abiotic
factors?
F 300
A group of organisms,
all the same species,
which interbreed and
live in the same area at
the same time.
F 400
What is a population?
F 400
All strategies and
adaptations a species
uses in its
environment---how it
meets it needs for food,
shelter, how and where
it survives and where it
reproduces.
F 500
What is a niche?
F 500
