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

The parts of a habit that are or were once alive that interact with an organism! Example: Trees, plants.

The non-living parts of an organism’s habitat! Example: Water, oxygen, space, rocks, light, temperature, and soil.

Is a group of organisms that can also 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.

The organisms that live in a particular area, along with the nonliving environment.

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

The number of individuals in an area of specific size.

Eats only plants and other photosynthetic organisms

Eats both plants and animals are omnivores.

Breaks down biotic wastes and dead organisms.

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

Many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem

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 sugar.

Absorbs light much like cells in solar panels do.

An organism that has to get its food from a source

Includes how organisms obtained its food, the type of food organisms eats and what other organisms eat it.

When two species share a niche one population may be affected

When one organism kills on another food or nutrients

Includes how organisms obtained its food, the type of food organisms eats and what other organisms eat it.

When two species share a niche one population may be affected

When one organism kills on another food or nutrients
