    This document defines key terms related to ecology and biological interactions. It describes the basic needs of living things provided by the physical environment, and different types of ecological relationships including mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation, and competition. It also explains energy transfer in ecosystems through photosynthesis, producers, consumers in food chains, and decomposers. Sample test questions are provided to assess understanding.

    INTERACTIONS
    Glossary of Terms
     Biosphere- the region on earth where life exists.
     Environment – collection of living and nonliving things.
     Organisms- living components make up the environment.
     Biotic-living component
     Abiotic- nonliving component
     Physical environment- nonliving components
     Population- organisms that belong to the same species and live
    in the same place.
     Community- populations that live in the same place and interact
    with each other form a community.
    Living things have basic needs
    to meet in order to survive.
    These basic needs: water,
    nutrients, sunlight ( for
    plants) and shelter are
    provided to them by their
    physical environment.
    ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS
     Mutualism
     Commensalism
     Parasitism
     Predation
     Competition
    MUTUALISM
    Interaction where both species benefit from each
    other.
    Aphids are small insects that suck liquid
    containing sugar from the conducting
    tissues of plants. These aphids get
    certain amount of sugar and other
    nutrients from this liquid. Honeydew is
    released through the aphid’s anus. The
    ants consumed honeydew. The ants in
    turn protect the aphids from their
    predators.
    COMMENSALISM
    One organism benefits from the host organism, while the
    host organism is neither positively nor negatively
    affected.
    Fern living in Narra tree
    The Narra tree is the host that provides a
    place for the fern to live. When it rains, the
    ferns get nutrients from rotting leaves and
    other organic
    materials that collect at the root base of the
    fern plant.
    Epiphytes- plants that depend on other
    plants for support.
    PARASITISM
    Parasite gets its nutrients from a living host that is
    harmed by the interaction.

    Examples:
     Insect larva ( parasite) gets
    its nutrients by eating leaves
    (host)
     Flea that thrives on a dog
    PREDATION
    Animals kill and eat other animals.
    Predator-animal that kill and eat.
    PREY-animal that is eaten.
    COMPETITION
    when two populations use the same resources
    such as: food,nesting sites,habitat,light, nutrients
    and water
     
    ENERGY TRANSFER IN THE ECOSYSTEM
    PHOTOSYNTHESIS- the process where plants
    are capable of converting energy of the sun
    into chemical energy in the form of glucose
    (simple sugar) which uses water, carbon
    dioxide and sunlight.
    PRODUCERS- plants and microorganism that are capable
    of making their food.
    CONSUMERS- organisms that depend on other for food
    such as animals and humans.
     First Order Consumers or herbivores- get energy by eating
    plants
    Example: goat, cow, caterpillar and mouse
     Second order consumer or carnivores-consumer that eats the
    plant-eaters
    Example: snake eats mouse, chicken eats caterpillar
     Third Order Consumer or omnivores- eats the second order
    consumer
    Example: hawk eats the chicken, crocodile eats chicken
    FOOD CHAIN- the sequence of energy
    transfer among organisms to obtain
    energy and nutrients.
    Test I. Identify the following

    1. The process where plants make their own food.


    2. Big animals that eat small animals.
    3. The transfer of energy from one organism to the next.
    4. Organism that can make their own food.
    5. Small animals eaten by big animals
    PREY 5 PHOTOSYNTHESIS 1 PREDATOR 2
    PRODUCERS 4 FOOD CHAIN 3
    TEST II. IDENTIFY WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP
    IS SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING ORGANISM
    WRITE MUTUALISM, COMMENSALISM,
    PARASITISM, PREDATION AND COMPETITION
    6. FERNS AND TREES commensalism
    7. LION AND DEER predation
    8. WORMS IN HUMANS STOMACH parasitism
    9. COWS EATING GRASSES competition
    10. APHIDS AND ANTS mutualism
    Test III.Answer the following
    1. What is the main source of energy?
    Sun/sunlight
    2. What is the producer in the picture?
    Grass/plant
    3. What is the final consumer? hawk
    4. What is the primary consumer?
    grasshopper
    5. What is the secondary consumer?
    Rat/mouse
    6. What is the tertiary consumer? snake
    7. Give one example of decomposer.
    Fungi/bacteria/mushroom
    Test III.Answer the following
    1. What is the main source of
    energy?
    2. What is the producer in the
    picture?
    3. What is the final consumer?
    4. What is the primary consumer?
    5. What is the secondary
    consumer?
    6. What is the tertiary consumer?
    7. Give one example of
    decomposer.
