Study of the interactions between organisums and their environment

Organisums that use sunlight or energy to make food

Organisums that maketheir own food(same thing as atotrophs)

Process used by autotrophs to make food energy from the sun

Autotrophs that capture chemicals energy since they live in places without sunlight

Break down waste and organic matter and return them to the ecosystem

Consumers(or heterotrphs)

C ant make there own food(all omnivores,carnivors,herbivores,scavengers,decomposers)

Consumers(or heterotrphs)

Cant make their own food(all omnivores,carnivors,herbivores,scavengers,decomposers)

Shows all posible feeding relationships or food chains together

Shows amount of energy or matter at each trophic level

Elements,compounds, and other forms of matter are passed on from one organisum to another and from ont part of the biosphere to another;connect biological, geological, and chemical aspects

Shows that water is constantly moving between the atmosphere and Earth

All living or once-living organisums in an enviroment

All non-living partes of the enviroment

An area where an organisum lives-includes both biotic and abiotic factors

All strategies and adaptations a species ueses in its environment

Any relationship in which two species live closely together

Organisums that seek out and eat other organisms

Both species benefit from relationship

one organism benifits and the other is neither helped nor harmed

One Organism lives on or in organisms that harms it

Anything that limits an organisms ability. to live in a particular enviroment

The ability of living things to survive the changes in their environment

The Process of gradual,natural,change and species replacment that takes place in the communities of an ecosystem over time

Large group of ecosystems that share the same type of climax community

Biomes located in bidies of water(marine or freshwater)

Coldest biome,permently frosted/frozen

Pine trees,long and cold winters

Warm and limited rain,open grasslands

Warm Summers and cold winters,fertile soil, leafy trees

Hot, plentful rain,abundence of plant and animal species
