ECO PUZZLE
 INSTRUCTIONS
In the puzzle, two vocabulary
terms are hidden in each set of
letters. All the letters in each set
are needed to form the two terms.
 The letters in all words occur in
the proper order within the set.
The clues will help discover the
hidden term. CIRCLE the letters for
the term to clue A, and the term
for clue B will be left.
A. The actual place in which
the organisms live.
B. The part of the earth that
supports life.

HABIBIOSPHERETAT
A. Animals that are active
during night time.
B. A group of organisms of
the same species that
lived in a defined area.

NOCPOTURPUNALLATION
A. These are the nonliving
factors of the ecosystem.
B. It is made up of all the
populations of living
things that interact in a
given habitat.
ACOMMBIOUNITICTIES
A. Animals that are inactive
during winter.
B. The area in which living
things interact with one
another and with their
environment.
ECOHISYSBERTEMNATE
A. Group of cells with one
function
B. Group of tissue with one
function

 What is symbiosis?
Literal definition:
the act of living together

What it means:
•Two organisms that live together
•Temporarily or for a longer time
•At least one of the organisms
benefits from the relationship
 What are the different kinds
of symbiosis?

Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism

both one one
organisms organism organism
benefit benefits benefits
one one
organism is organism is
unaffected harmed
 A relationship
Mutualism between two
species of
organisms that
benefits both
species.
This is the
relationship most
people think of
when they use the
word "symbiosis."
LICHEN - fungus and a species of
either a green algae or a blue-green
algae.
Commensalism
A relationship
between two species
where one species
derives a benefit
from the relationship
and the second
species is unaffected
by it.
Barnacle and scallop
 Parasitism
Aedes aegypti biting The relationship
human
between two species,
where one species
lives at the expense of
another species, its
host
 Elephantiasis occurs in the presence of
microscopic, thread-like parasitic worms
such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia
malayi, and B. timori, all of which are
transmitted by mosquitoes.

Filaria
 The cestode (tapeworm) Taenia solium (pork
tapeworm) is the main cause of human cysticercosis. In
addition, the larval stage of other Taenia species can
infect humans in various sites of localization including
the brain, subcutaneous tissue, eye, or liver.
 Example 1:
Moray Eel with
Cleaner Fish
Moray Eel gets a
clean mouth
Cleaner Fish gets
a meal
Mutualism: both
benefit
 Example 2:
Cattle with cattle egrets Cattle stir
up insects
as they eat
grass
Egrets
hang
around and
eat insects
Commensalism: one benefits,
one is unaffected
 Example 3:
Clown fish with anemone

Clown fish
gets
protection
Anemone is
unaffected

Commensalism: one benefits,

 Example 4:
Antelope with Oxbird
Antelope
gets rid
of
parasites
Oxbird
gets a
meal

Mutualism: both benefit

 Example 5:
Taenia worm in human eye
Worm
infects
human
blood
stream
Human
may go
blind Parasitism: one benefits,
one is harmed
Hookworm
Predation
Predation describes
a biological
interaction where a
predator organism
feeds on another
living organism or
organisms known as
prey
Lion and cub eating buffalo
 Salamander Archerfish spraying a
capturing insect with fine jet of water to
sticky tongue knock an insect off a
low-lying branch
