2. A decrease in the grass population would most immediately decrease the energy available for
A. Mouse
B. Hawk
C. Snake
D. Frog

3. How are autotrophs different than the power of heterotrophs?
Autotroph- an organism that used solar energy to make chemical energy (i.e. palm tree, tulips, algae)
Heterotroph- an organism the gets chemical energy from consuming other organisms.
Teacher Actions: Direct students to record information on the RH side of their notebook
Student Actions: Students record notes.

4. How do changes in one population impact another?
An increase in a population leads to an increase in the population that consume the organism and a decrease in the organisms food source population.
Teacher Actions: Direct students to record information on the RH side of their notebook.
Draw and example food chain including a minimum of 4 organism to illustrate the concept.
Student Actions: Students record notes.

5. How do changes in one population impact another?
A decrease in a population leads to an decrease in the population that consume the organism and a increase in the organisms food source population.
Teacher Actions: Direct students to record information on the RH side of their notebook.
Draw and example food chain including a minimum of 4 organism to illustrate the concept.

15. Autotrophs are organisms that use solar energy to make chemical energy.
Heterotrophs are organisms the get chemical energy from consuming other organisms.
Changes in a one organisms population impacts the rest of the community.
An increase in a population leads to an increase in the population that consume the organism and a decrease in the organisms food source population.
An decrease in a population leads to an decrease in the population that consume the organism and a increase in the organisms food source population.
