Matching Pairs 8.11A - Food chains and SymbiosisOnline version Match the names to their respective description. You are going to play TWO rounds. by Peter Machado 1 Producers/autotrophs 2 Trophic level 3 Consumers/heterotrophs 4 Scavengers 5 Herbivores 6 Decomposers 7 Omnivores 8 Carnivores In a food chain/web, they are organisms that break down waste and dead organisms into life-essential elements/compounds, which are returned to nature. In a food chain/web, they are organisms that are able to obtain energy from a non-living source such as the Sun or deep-sea volcanic vents. Animals that eat both plants and animals. Animals that eat the bodies of already dead animals. Animals that eat only plants. The energy role of an organism, shown by its position in a food chain/web. Animals that eat other animals that they have killed and/or dead animals they find. In a food chain/web, they are organisms that cannot make their own food. Thus, they obtain their food by eating producers or other animals. 1 Parasitism 2 Symbiosis 3 Commensalism 4 Food web 5 Food chain 6 Mutualism A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other is harmed. A symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit from the relationship. A more complete diagram of the energy flow/predator-prey relationships within an ecosystem. It shows various overlapping food chains in one diagram. A description of one particular sequence of feeding events (organisms eating one another). It shows only one possibility of food source. A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected positively or negatively. A close relationship between different species that benefits at least one of the species in the relationship.
