the capacity for vigorous activity; available power

any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria and protists.

an animal that feeds on plants; a herbivore.

an animal that eats meat and plants.

rock in small particles or other material worn or broken away from a mass, as by the action of water or glacial ice.

the complex process by which carbon dioxide, water, and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants, algae, and certain bacteria, using energy from the sun and chlorophyll.

a person or thing that consumes.

a carnivore that feeds only upon herbivores.

an organism, usually a bacterium or fungus, that breaks down the cells of dead plants and animals into simpler substances.

a series of organisms related by predator-prey and consumer-resource interactions; the entirety of interrelated food chains in an ecological community.

The first trophic level in a food chain in which it serves as a food source for consumers or for higher trophic levels.

an organism requiring organic compounds for its principal source of food.

It is the levels of the food chain/food web.

A feeding hierarchy in which organisms in an ecosystem are grouped into trophic levels and are shown in a succession to represent the flow of food energy and the feeding relationships between them.

The total mass of all living material in a specific area, habitat, or region.

a carnivore at the topmost level in a food chain that feeds on other carnivores; an animal that feeds only on secondary consumers.

The process of cell catabolism in which cells turn food into usable energy in the form of ATP.

a measure of the rate at which new organic matter is developed through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis in producer organisms based on the oxygen released and carbon taken in; the transformation of chemical or solar energy to biomass

a depiction of the amount of energy in each trophic level of an ecosystem.

A graphical representation to show the relative amounts of biomass at each trophic level.

A graphical representation in the form of a pyramid showing the feeding relationship and the number of organisms at each trophic level.

Chlorophyll-containing plastid found within the cells of plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes.
