| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| All organisms and the part of the earth where they exist. | biosphere |
| Group of organisms that are very similar and can produce offspring with each other. | species |
| All of the populations of different species that live in the same area. Ex: Blue Jay | population |
| Collection of all of the different populations that live in one area. | community |
| Study of how living organisms interact with one another and their environment. | ecology |
| Collection of organisms and nonliving things such as climate, soil, water, and rocks. | ecosystem |
| Regional or global community of organisms characterized by the climate conditions and plant communities that live there. Ex: Dessert | biome |
| Parts of the environment that is alive, or was alive at one time. | biotic factor |
| Parts of the environment that is not living, like climate, sunlight, and water. | abiotic factor |
| Obtains its energy from abiotic sources like sunlight or inorganic chemicals. | autotroph |
| Process which light energy is converted to chemical energy, and produces sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. | photosynthesis |
| Process which light energy (ATP) is synthesized by using chemicals as an energy source instead of light. | chemosynthesis |
| Obtains its energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms. | heterotroph |
| Organisms that depend on other organisms for food. | consumer |
| Consumer that only eats animals. Ex: wolves | carnivore |
| Consumer that only eats plants. Ex: deer | herbivore |
| Consume soft tissue of dead animals. Ex: vulture | scavenger |
| Consumer that eats both plants and animals. Ex: humans, bears | omnivore |
| Eat dead plants and animals and decompose them, reduces them to simpler forms of matter. | decomposer |
| Eat dead organic matter that collects on the soil or at the bottom of a body of water. Ex: earthworms | detritivore |
| This is used by organisms to make food and others use this to eat the food. Enters the ecosystem in the form of sunlight or chemical compounds. | energy |
| Organisms that produce their own food. | producer |
| Organisms that obtains its energy from abiotic sources. | primary producers |
| Use energy from sunlight to make food by photosynthesis. | photoautotrophs |
| Use energy from chemical compounds to make food by chemosynthesis. | chemoautotrophs |
