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 Omnivores 2 Decomposers 3 Herbivores 4 Producers/autotrophs 5 Carnivores 6 Consumers/heterotrophs 7 Scavengers 8 Trophic level 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 only plants. Animals that eat the bodies of already dead animals. 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. 1 Symbiosis 2 Mutualism 3 Food web 4 Food chain 5 Parasitism 6 Commensalism 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 symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit from the relationship. A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other is harmed. A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected positively or negatively. A more complete diagram of the energy flow/predator-prey relationships within an ecosystem. It shows various overlapping food chains in one diagram.
