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

Parts of a habitat that are or were once alive

The no living parts of an organisms habitat

A ground of organisms that can mate with each other and produce off spring that can also mate and reproduce

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 no living environment

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

An organism that can make its own food

An organism that obtains energy by feeding on other organisms

Consumers that eat only animals

A carnivore that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms

Consumers that eat both plants and animals

Something that breaks down biotic wastes and dead organisms, returning the raw material to the ecosystem

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

Consists of many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem

A diagram that shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web

The set of chemical reactions plants use to turn light, water, and nutrients into oxygen and energy, in the form of sugars

Plant leaves have green organelles called chloroplasts. Inside the chloroplasts is a green pigment called chlorophyll, chlorophyll absorbs light

Green organelles in plant leaves

An organism that makes its own food

An organism that had to get its food from a source— and is unable to make its own food
