A group of organisms that can breed together to produce fertile offspring.
A group of similar organisms.
The environment in which an organism lives.
Question 2
Question
It is not just the environment that affects the chances of a [blank_start]organism[blank_end] surviving. Organisms are also dependant on other [blank_start]species[blank_end] for their survival. They may depend on other species for food or for their habitat. Many species of insect, for example, have habitats within or on particular [blank_start]plants[blank_end].
In a particular habitat there will be competition between species for resources. [blank_start]Animals[blank_end] may compete for breeding sites or territories, food, mates or living space. Plants may compete for space, [blank_start]light[blank_end], nutrients and water.
A food web shows the feeding [blank_start]interactions[blank_end] of some of the species within a habitat. Because species depend on each other in many ways, any impact on one species within a food web will have a [blank_start]knock-on effect[blank_end] on many of the other species that are part of the same food web. Food webs are extremely useful because they give us a visual representation of [blank_start]interdependence[blank_end].
Answer
organism

interactions
interdependence
knock-on effect
Question 3
Question
Using the diagram, choose the correct equation for photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide + water (+sunlight) -> glucose + oxygen
oxygen + water (+sunlight) -> glucose + carbon dioxide
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water (+sunlight)
Question 4
Question
The efficiency of transfer of energy at each level of a food chain is the ratio of the energy available in the organism's tissues to the total amount of energy the organism has ingested.
percentage efficiency = (energy in tissues/energy in food eaten) x 100
Organisms can be [blank_start]classified[blank_end] in many different ways. In the past, organisms were classified mainly by their [blank_start]appearance[blank_end]. Today, we have a much more [blank_start]accurate[blank_end] way of classifying organisms, based on their DNA [blank_start]sequences[blank_end]. Organisms with more similar DNA are likely to be more [blank_start]similar[blank_end] species. Classifying organisms in this way helps us to see how they [blank_start]evolved[blank_end]. A [blank_start]common[blank_end] ancestor is the most recent individual from which all organisms in a group are descended. Organisms with the most similar DNA have more [blank_start]recent[blank_end] common ancestors than those with [blank_start]less[blank_end] similar DNA.
Answer
