process that algae and plants use to produce food

process that plants and other living organisms use to turn glucose or starches into energy

a simple sugar that is an important energy source of all living organisms * plants make sugar during photosynthesis * organisms release glucose during during respiration and use it for energy

evaporation of water from plants

algae and green plants that produce organic compounds(glucose) from inorganic compounds (carbon dioxide, water, sunlight) *use sunlight to make their own food during photosynthesis

an organism that obtains energy by eating other organisms * herbivore - consumer that eats only plants * carnivore - consumer that only eats other animals * omnivore - eats both producers and other consumers

an organism that breaks down organic matter, like decaying animals or plants, and returns nutrients to the soil

plants and animals in a specific location that interact to survive * ecosystems contain living and non-living things (biotic & abiotic)

a series of organisms, each dependent on the next, for food & energy * grass (captures sunlight) --- rabbit --- hawk

a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains

asleep, a state of inactivity or rest

the transfer of pollen from the anthers of a flower to the stigma of the same flower or of another flower

when the male and female gamates(sex cells) join together to form an embryo. Occurs in the ovary.

the process whereby seeds or spores sprout and grow
