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 Trophic level 2 Omnivores 3 Decomposers 4 Consumers/heterotrophs 5 Carnivores 6 Scavengers 7 Herbivores 8 Producers/autotrophs Animals that eat only plants. 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. Animals that eat other animals that they have killed and/or dead animals they find. Animals that eat both plants and animals. The energy role of an organism, shown by its position in a food chain/web. 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 the bodies of already dead animals. 1 Food chain 2 Commensalism 3 Food web 4 Mutualism 5 Parasitism 6 Symbiosis A description of one particular sequence of feeding events (organisms eating one another). It shows only one possibility of food source. A close relationship between different species that benefits at least one of the species in 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 symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected positively or negatively. A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other is harmed. A symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit from the relationship.
