carrying capacity
14
A relationship in which one member benefits and the other is NOT harmed and does
NOT benefit
15
commensalism
16
a group of living things interacting with one another in a specific region
17
population
18

21
Consumer (heterotroph)
22
breaks down dead organisms and turns them into simpler substances (ex) bacteria

branch of biology dealing with interactions between living and nonliving factors in an environment
25
ecology
26
system formed by the interactions of a community of organisms and their environment (living and non-living things)
28
show the amount of energy in each level of an ecosystem
(bottom of pyramid is biggest - therefore has most energy)
30
series of organisms interrelated by their feeding habits
series of organisms interrelated by their feeding habits. (arrows point from the MOST energy to the LEAST energy)
32
Made up of two or more food chains
34
the natural environment of an organism; place natural for food and other resources of an organism

58
the organism that IS captured and eaten for food by a carnivorous animal
60
feeds on dead animals (ex) vulture
62
