An environment that provides the things a specific organism needs to live,grow ,and reproduce

parts of a habitat that are or were once alive

The non living parts of an organisms habitat

A group of organisms that can mate with each other and produce offSpring

All the members of one species living in a particular area

All the different populations that live together in an area

Organisms that lives in a particular area, along with the non living environment

The study of how organisms interact with each other and with their environment

the number of individuals in an area of a specific size

An environmental factor that causes a population to stop growing or to decrease

It’s carrying capacity

the largest population that an area can support

Any relationship in which two species live closely together

A relationship in which one species benefits and the other species is neither helped or harmed

Is a relationship in which both species benefit

An interaction in which one organism kills another for food and nutrients

The struggle between organisms to survive as they use the same limited resources

The role of an organism in its habitat

Shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food we’d

Consists of many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem

A series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy and nutrients

Break down biotic waste and dead organisms,returning the raw materials to the ecosystems

Obtains energy by feeding on other organisms

An organism that can make its own food

Energy in most ecosystems comes from sunlight, and producers convert this energy into food through photosynthesis , the chemical reactions plant used to return light water, and measurements into oxygen and energy and the form of sugars.

An organism that makes its own food

Consumers that eat only animals

A carnivore that feeds an the bodies of dead organisms

Consumers that eat both plants and animals
