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

The parts of a habitat that are or were once alive and that interacts with an organism.

The non living parts of an organisms habitat.

Is a group of organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring 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 make up a community.

Organisms that live in a particular area, along with the nonliving environment, make up an ecosystem.

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 that causes a population to stop growing or to decrease in size, such as a fatal disease infecting organisms.

An organism that can make its own food.

A consumer obtains energy by feeding on other organisms.

Decomposers break down biotic wastes and dead organisms, returning the raw materials to the ecosystem.

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

A food web consists of many of many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.

Shows the amount of energy that moves one feeding level to another in a food web.

Photosynthesis is the set of chemical reactions. Plants used to turn light water and nutrients into oxygen and energy in the form of sugars.

Absorbs light, much like sells in solar panels do.

An organism that makes its own food is known as an autotroph

An organism that has to get its food from a source and is unable to make its own food is called a heterotroph

Law of conservation of mass

States that matter is neither created nor destroyed during any chemical or physical change.

Law of conservation of energy

Evaporation is the process by which molecules at the surface of liquid water absorb enough energy to change to a gas.

The process of a gas changing to a liquid.

The heavy drops fall in the form of precipitation.
