Question | Answer |
---|---|
carbon dioxide | a gas that is used, along with water and chlorophyll, to help make photosynthesis work |
carnivore | consumer that only eats other animals |

consumer | organisms that eat other organisms |
decomposer | an organism that gets its energy by breaking down and feeding on dead organisms |
ecosystem | these vary in size, a place where any group of living and nonliving things interact with each other |
food chain | shows the path of energy as it flows from one organism to the next |
food web | is a diagram of several connected food chains |
glucose | an energy rich sugar that is produced when cholorplasts break down water and carbon dioxide. |
herbivore | a consumer that only eats plants |
omnivore | a consumer that eats both plants and animals |
organisms | an individual form of life, such as, a plant or an animal |
oxygen | a gas that is given off by the process of photosynthesis. |
