Instructions for using this template. Remember this is Jeopardy, so where I have written “Answer” this is the prompt the students will see, and where I have “Question” should be the student’s response. To enter your questions and answers, click once on the text on the slide, then highlight and just type over what’s there to replace it. If you hit Delete or Backspace, it sometimes makes the text box disappear. When clicking on the slide to move to the next appropriate slide, be sure you see the hand, not the arrow. (If you put your cursor over a text box, it will be an arrow and WILL NOT take you to the right location.)

Mistletoe extracts water and nutrients from the spruce tree, which harms the spruce tree. This is an example of a.mutualism b. parasitism c. commensalism
44
b. parasitism
45

Determine if this population grew over the course of a year if the following occurred: # of deaths = 200 # of births = 225 # of immigrants = 45 # of emigrants = 30
57
yes 225+45>200+30 270>230
58
What are the two major differences between parasitism and predation?
59
Parasites don’t immediately kill their host, predators immediately kill their prey Parasites live in or on their hosts, predators don’t live in or on prey
