An animal that other animals hunt and eat. An owl is a predator that feeds on small animals such as mice

48. the total organic matter in an ecosystem

49. Biomass
the total organic matter in an ecosystem

50. Who moved the most places?

51. Review for test *Explain how this model captures some of the important ideas about energy transfer in an ecosystem: *What might make this model better?

52. Review for test *Explain how this model captures some of the important ideas about energy transfer in an ecosystem: *What might make this model better?
Energy flows through trophic levels
Larger biomasses support smaller biomasses as triangle gets to the top
Organisms at every level use energy
Only 10% of energy is converted to biomass which is available as food for next level
Add decomposers

53. New Terms
Limiting Factor
Carrying Capacity
Adaption
Aquatic

54. Adaption
A characteristic, a behavior, or any inherited trait that makes a species able to survive and reproduce in a particular environment
*Can be seen in many ways…camoflauge , mimicry,

55. Aquatic
Of the water

56. Limiting Factor
A factor or condition that prevents the continuing growth of a population in an ecosystem

57. Carrying Capacity
The maximum size that a population can reach in an ecosystem

58. Did you see the Brine Shrimp?
