3. Objective After this activity, you will be able to identify organisms in three different relationships: Producer/Consumer Predator/Prey Parasite/Host Next Slide To navigate through the upcoming slides, click on the titles to learn about each relationship.

4. Main Menu Producer/Consumer Predator/Prey Parasite/Host When you are finished with the lesson, click on the test to the right to take the quiz.

5. Producer/Consumer Producer Consumer Main Menu

6. Producer Producers are generally plants, and they use a process called photosynthesis to make their own food. Follow this link to see the chemical formula for photosynthesis.this link Examples: alfalfa grass, mesquite trees, and sunflowers

7. Consumer Consumers eat other organisms to gain energy. Primary Consumers eat Producers Secondary Consumers eat other Consumers. Examples: Mule Deer, Yellow Catfish, Killer Whales

8. Predator/Prey Predator Prey Main Menu

9. Predator Predators eat other animals to gain energy. They are Secondary Consumers. Examples: Grey wolves, Mountain Lions, Bull snakes

10. Prey A prey species is eaten by a predator, so it can have energy. The prey can be a primary consumer OR secondary consumer. Examples: Mice, Shad, Seals

11. Parasite/Host Parasite Host Main Menu

12. Parasite A parasite invades another organism and sucks nutrients from it to gain energy. Examples: Ticks, fleas, ring worms

13. Host The host is the organism the parasite has invaded. Serious diseases are caused by some parasites. The species of fleas that invade prairie dogs carry the Bubonic Plague. Examples: Dogs, Humans, any large organism.

14. Identify which of these two organisms is the prey species. Mouse Bull snake Click on the skull next to the correct answer.

15. Identify which of these two organisms is the producer. Mule Deer Alfalfa

16. Identify which of these two organisms is the parasite species. Tick Dog

17. Identify which of these two organisms is the consumer. Sunflower Bobwhite quail

18. Identify which of these two organisms is the host species. Flea Prairie Dogs

19. Identify which of these two organisms is the predator species. Killer Whale Seal

20. WELL DONE! As you go from here, focus on how each of these three relationships affect all living organisms including humans.
