The ability to do work. Energy helps with every task that occurs in your body. All cells require energy.

The chemical process that turns carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates when sunlight and chlorophyll are present.

Photosynthetic organisms that produce carbohydrate molecules, also known as energy in the chemical bonds.

Living matter and is the total organic matter in an ecosystem.

These are organisms that eat other organisms.

Also organisms that eat other organisms,because they cannot produce their own food.

First level consumers, also known as herbivores.

Get energy when primary consumers are eaten.

Meat eaters and secondary consumers. Survive by eating herbivores.

Animals that feed on secondary consumers. Also known as omnivores.

Eat both producers and consumers.

Mainly bacteria and fungi, these organisms die without ever being eaten. When they die they are usually eaten by consumers at the bottom of a body of water.

Organisms that are grouped by how or what food they eat.

The metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules.

The waste and remains of dead organisms.

The pattern of feeding in an ecosystem.

Pathway of food transfer from one trophic level to another.

Producers	Photosynthetic organisms that produce carbohydrate molecules, also known as energy in the chemical bonds.
Biomass	Living matter and is the total organic matter in an ecosystem.
Autotroph	Cells that self-feed.
Consumer	These are organisms that eat other organisms.
Heterotroph	Also organisms that eat other organisms,because they cannot produce their own food.
Herbivores	Animals that eat only plants.
Primary Consumers	First level consumers, also known as herbivores.
