Biotic/Abiotic Worksheet
1. From the following story, complete the listing below:
One day, Lizzie the lizard was crawling along a rock near her home. As she crawled along she saw a group of 5 crickets. Her stomach growled as it was close to her lunch time and she jumped out and caught one in her mouth. Crunching the exoskeleton of the cricket, she rolled her eyes up as it tasted so good to her. As she was busy eating one cricket, the others leaped away and hid under a bush that was growing under the two elm trees nearby. Lizzy finished her cricket and thought, “Yum” and went to find the others. When she snuck up to the bush, she found not only the crickets were hiding there but a whole group of rolypoly’s and a mouse looking for lunch too. A mouse is much bigger than Lizzie, so she ran back home.

ECOLOGY: ORGANISMS IN THEIR ENVIRONMENTS from the series Biology: The Science of Life
Directions: Answer the following either true or false.
1. True or False? The living things in an ecosystem make up its abiotic factors.
2. True or False? Different populations are composed of different species of organisms.
3. True or False? A niche is the particular place in which an organism lives.
4. True or False? Food webs are made up of interconnected food chains.
5. True or False? In food chains, many thirdorder consumers are needed to support only a few food producers.
Levels of Organization
All living things have a structure that is based on specific organization of materials. While science discovers new levels all of the time, the life sciences tend to draw some distinctive lines of demarkation.
In Anatomy, you are responsible for knowing the levels of organization from the atom to the organism.
Level of organization
Explanation
Example
atom
atom is the smallest particle that maintains its physical and chemical properties; note that particles smaller than the atom have been discovered, but they do not maintain these properties
oxygen, nitrogen, gold
water, carbon dioxide
macromolecule
when two or more molecules are bonded together to form large (gigantic!) molecules
proteins, lipids, carbohydrates
organelles
several macromolecules bonded together form these building blocks of a cell
mitochondria, nucleus, golgi apparatus
Below this level begins what scientists consider living or alive
cells
the smallest unit of life, a cell is a collection of organelles functioning together
bacteria, animal, plant
tissues
a collections of cells working together to perform a specific job
epithelial, connective
organs
two or more types of tissues that work together to complete a specific task
heart, stomach, brain
organ systems (systems)
several organs working in unison to achieve a common goal
digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory
human, dog, tree
population
groups of individual organisms of the same species working together to achieve a common goal
bees, ants
all of the human species
ecosystem
wetlands, oak forest
desert, trundra, rainforest
the earth's living occupants
