Food, water, shelter and other things from its environment that it needs to live, grow, and reproduce

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 interact with a organism

The no living parts of an organism habitat

All the members of one species living in a particular area

All the different populations that live together in an area

The community of organisms that lives in a particular area, along with the non living 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 in size

The largest population that an area can support

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

An organism that can make its own food

Consumers that eat only animals

Is a carnivore that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms

Consumers that eat only plants and other photosynthetic organisms

Consumers that eat both plants and animals

Break down biotic wastes and dead organisms

Is a series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy

Consists of many overlapping food chains

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

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