A traits that some living organisms use to hide themselves from predators or danger.

Where one living organism eats another organism, and later that organism is consumed by another larger organism in an ecosystem.

a producer is an organism that creates its own food or energy, also known as autotrophs. They are the foundation of a food chain.

a state of greatly reduced metabolic activity and lowered body temperature adopted by certain mammals as an adaptation to survive during super cold weather when food is also scarce.
