Ecosystems & Diversity of Life
abiotic - nonliving factors
Chemical components
Physical components
biotic - living factors
consumers
/heterotrophs - heterotrophic organisms cannot make own food so they must ingest (eat) other organisms
secondary consumers/primary carnivores - feed on herbivores
quartnery consumers/
omnivores
- feed on both producers and consumers
primary consumers/
herbivores
- feed on vegetation (producers)
tertiary consumers/large carnivores - feed on other carnivores
decomposers/sapotrophs
producers
/autotrophs - autotrophic organisms that make their own food
Prey Defenses
protective armor
posonous chemicals
warning coloration
heightened senses
flocking behavior
protective spines or thorns
camouflage
break off tails or appendages
speed
Symbiotic Relationships
symbiosis
- association between species in which at least 1 of the species is dependent on other
commensalism
- abundance of 1 species increases and other is NOT affected
mutualism
- abundance of both species increases
parasitism
- abundance of parasite increases and abundance of host decrease
coevolution
- 2 or more species evolve in response to each other
