| __________________ - are able to make their own food | producers |
| __________________ - obtain energy by eating other organisms | consumers |
| Energy __________________ as it is transferred from one organism to another in a food chain | decreases |
| __________________ - plant eaters | Herbivores |
| __________________ - meat eaters | Carnivores |
| __________________ - plant and animal eaters | omnivores |
| __________ - obtains energy by eating remains of other organisms | detritivores |

| __________________ - simple model that shows how energy is transferred to producers and consumers | food chain |
| __________________ show the entire picture of how animals are able to get energy by eating different things | food web |
| ___________________________ - all organisms contain carbon and get it from either their food, the atmosphere or bodies of water through ________________ and ___________________________ | Carbon cycle, photosynthesis and cellular respiration |
| ___________________________ - the cycle of water that moves continually from Earth to its atmosphere and back again | water cycle |
| ___________________________ - process by which nitrogen moves between Earth and its atmosphere and back again | nitrogen cycle |

| - the location in which an organism lives | Habitat |
| - the place or role that an organism has in its habitat | Niche |
| - a group of organisms that have similar traits and are able to produce fertile offspring | species |
| __________decreasing________ the health and function of an ecosystem | Biodiversity, reduces |
