What is our goal today?
1. Name 10 plant and 10 animal species in
the forest reserve.
2. As you tour the farm, identify an
ecological relationship exhibited by 2
or more species that promote a
healthy environment. Explain how
this relationship affects the wellness
of the forest reserve.

Editor's Notes

  • #5 We will be looking at relationships between species within ecosystems.
  • #8 is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment.
  • #12 attack of the killer fungi - Planet Earth Attenborough BBC wildlife
  • #16 It is a relationship in which both organisms are benefited
  • #17 The territorial fish protects the anemone from anemone-eating fish. In turn the stinging tentacles of the anemone protect the clownfish from its predators.
  • #18 Ants feed on the sugary honeydew left behind by aphids. In exchange, the ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.
  • #19 It is a permanent association of two organisms in which one partner receives the benefit while the other one is neither benefited or injured.
  • #20 the bird gets the left over food off the alligators teeth.
  • #21 remora fish are very bony and have a dorsal fin (the fin on the back of fish) that acts like a suction cup. Remora fish use this fin to attach themselves to whales, sharks, or rays and eat the scraps their hosts leave behind.
  • #22 One organism (parasite) lives at the expense of the other (host)
  • #23 Female mosquito (unaffected) and human (affected) Parasite is transferred by bites from the female mosquito Mosquito releases anti-coagulants when piercing skin
  • #24 They are skin parasites of dogs and cats, feeding only on the blood of their hosts. great potential to act as carriers of a number of diseases
  • #25 An organism obtain its food by directly using another animal or a kind of plant
  • #27 Tigers / Lions and Water Buffallo
  • #28 A population-based relationship wherein crowded population of organisms compete for food, space, light and other abiotic factors that are mutually needed for survival.
  • #30 Manifested by a group of organisms (usually of the same species), which is beneficial to them by voiding the attackers.
  • #32 A food chain starts from a trophic species that eats no other species in the web and ends at a trophic species that is eaten by no other species in the web.
  • #37 sequence of who eats whom in a biological community (an ecosystem) to obtain nutrition.
  • #39 A food web (or food cycle) depicts feeding connections (who eats whom) in an ecological community.
  • #43 Energy lost from one trophic level (energy level) to the next level can be represented by a pyramid
