The secondary consumers will also die out.

the secondary consumers will start eating decomposers.

The producer population will die out.

The secondary consumers will become tertiary consumers.

The tree dies as a result of the ants' feeding behavior.

The ants attract other plants that compete for the tree's nutrients.

The tree get protection from the ants' defenses.

The tree does not suffer any consequences nor gains any benefits.

species that compete with other organisms

species at the top of the food chain

species that colonize new surfaces

species that cooperate with other organisms

They are the source of energy for every other living thing.

There are more producers than any other organism

They require more energy than other organisms.

They are the least important members of the food chain.

In predation, both organisms benefit, while in parasitism, both organisms are harmed.

The goal of predation is to kill the prey, while a parasite does not benefit from killing its host.

Parasitism occurs between microscopic organisms, while predation occurs between larger animals.

Parasitism occurs between a plant and an animal, while predation occurs between two animals.

Only tropical rain forests contain a great diversity of life forms.

Tropical rain forests are only found at the equator. Temperate rain forests are found in coastal areas around the world.

Tropical rain forests receive hundreds of centimeters of rain. Temperate rain forests receive less than 100 centimeters.

Tropical rain forests are home to a diversity of mammals, while tropical rain forests only have birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
