| Question | Answer |
| an interaction in which one organism BENEFITS (the parasite) by living on (the host) and feed on its tissues | parasitism |
| symbiotic interaction between different species that BENEFITS one and has NO effect on the other | commensalism |
| a symbiotic interaction that benefits both partners | mutualism |
| a "relationship" that exists between organisms of different species that are in direct contact with one another | sympiosis |
| use oxygen if it is present BUT can also grow by fermentation of placed into an aerobic environment | facultative anaerobe |
| these organisms CANNOT GROW (live) IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN, SOME LIVE PRIMARLIY BY FERMENTATION OR BY ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION | obligate anaerobe |
| these organisms USE OXYGEN IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE PROCESS OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION AND CANNOT GROW (live) WITHOUT IT | obligate aeurobe |
| example of CHEMOHETEROTROPH | animals, fungi, some protists, some prokaryotes |
| these organisms MUST OBTAIN BOTH THEIR CARBON AND ENERGY BY EATING (consuming) ORGANIC MOLECULES | chemoheterotroph |
| example of CHEMOAUTOTROPH | prokaryotic organisms |
| these organisms USE CARBON DIOXIDE AS THEIR CARBON SOURCE AND THEY UTILIZE INORGANIC CHEMICALS AS THEIR SOURCE OF ENERGY INSTEAD OF LIGHT | chemoautotroph |
| example of PHOTOAUTOTROPH | plants, certain photosynthetic bacteria, certain protists |
| these organisms USE LIGHT AS THEIR MAIN SOURCE OF ENERGY AND USE IT TO DRIVE THE FORMATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUND, also REQUIRE CARBON DIOXIDE AS THEIR SOURCE OF CARBON | photoautotroph |
| these organisms USE LIGHT FOR ENERGY however THEY MUST GET THEIR CARBON FROM ORGANIC SOURCES | photoheterotroph |
| example of PRODUCER | carbon dioxide, autotroph |
| autotrophic organisms that nourish themselves using sources of energy and carbon from the environment | producer |
| example of CONSUMER | organic molecule, heterotroph |
| heterotrophs that obtain both carbon and energy by feeding on other organisms | consumer |
| organisms that require some ORGANIC NUTRIENT TO ACT AS A CARBON SOURCE so that they can generate other organic compounds (feed on autotrophs, heterotrophs, or organic wastes) | heterotroph |
| example of AUTOTROPH | plant |
| an organism that OBTAINS ITS CARBON FORM CARBON DIOXIDE | autotroph |
