Ecosystem Jeopardy (Key)

Topic 5Topic 4Topic 3Topic 2Topic 1Skeleton is on the outside of the body.

Scavenging is both a carnivorous and herbivorous feeding behavior in which the scavenger feeds on dead and decaying organic matter present in its habitat.

Volcanoes, tornados, and floods are naturally disruptive forces.

The ecosystemswould die becauseall living and nonlivingThings depend on one another.

Aqua means water. Fungi that grows on moist organic matter, breaking it down.

Terra means land. Acid rain, road salt, and fertilizer human made pollutants.

a population is a group of living organisms of the same species, have the same features, and live together in the same area.

Measures on the ph scale between 8-14.

A liquid that is neutral has a ph score 7. Water is considered neutral.

Plant-life was the producer in our ecosystems. Moisture that has become polluted

from toxins in the air.

A community is made up of all the individual animal species living within a specific geographical area. For example, in a tide pool the community would be the sea stars, crabs, barnacles, algae, etc.

A consumer is a living thing that eats another living thing.

A pollutant is waste material that contaminates air, soil, or water.

Mosquito fish was a consumer in our ecosystem.

Road salt dissolves into the soil and harms the plant life that animals depend on as food. It also harms the ocean when it drains there from above ground. It is used to melt snow and ice during winter.

An organism is a living thing.

Decomposers break down dead plants and animals.

A producer produces its own food, like how a plant produces its food from the Sun (photosynthesis).

Isopods were scavengers in our ecosystem.

Too much fertilizer can cause plant life to be too well fed. Plants that live in the water start to grow too fast and can choke water ways.

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving things of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system.

Rain that contains chemical pollutants and can harm living and nonliving things.Acid rain has made the lake's water poisonous and is harming the fish.
