|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FOOD CHAIN | Energy path from 1 organism to another showing a linked series; feeds on the 1 next to it in the series.
🗑
|
||||
| FOOD WEB | Overlapping food chains with different pathways for the flow of food energy in an ecosystem.
🗑
|
||||
| OMNIVORE | Kind of animal that eats both animals & plants; some will hunt & eat their food, others are scavengers & will eat dead matter; "OMNI-" = ALL.
🗑
|
||||
| PRODUCER | Organisms that transform energy from the Sun & use carbon dioxide & water to make food.
🗑
|
||||
| CONSUMER | Organisms that feed on other organisms in a food chain.
🗑
|
||||
| HERBIVORE | Animals that only eat plants or plant products; "HERB-" = PLANT.
🗑
|
||||
| CARNIVORE | Animals that eat other animals; "CARN-" = MEAT.
🗑
|
||||
| PRIMARY CONSUMERS | Organisms that get their energy by feeding on producers in the food chain.
🗑
|
||||
| SECONDARY CONSUMERS | Organisms that get their energy by feeding on primary consumers (herbivores) in the food chain.
🗑
|
||||
| TERTIARY CONSUMERS | Organisms that get their energy by eating secondary consumers.
🗑
|
||||
| DECOMPOSER | Organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the remains of dead plants & animals, without need for internal digestion.
🗑
|
||||
| TROPHIC LEVEL | Any class of organisms occupying the same position in a food chain, such as primary consumers or secondary consumers; "TROPH-" = NOURISH.
🗑
|
||||
| ENERGY PYRAMID | Shows how much energy transfers to the next trophic level in a food chain.
🗑
|
||||
| ECOSYSTEM | System consisting of all of the interactions that occur between the abiotic & biotic factors within an environment; "ECO-" = NATURE.
🗑
|
||||
| BIOTIC FACTOR | Any living part of the environment with which an organism might interact.
🗑
|
||||
| ABIOTIC FACTOR | Nonliving part that makes up part of an ecosystem.
🗑
|
||||
| ENERGY TRANSFER | Movement of energy from one place or object to another.
🗑
|
||||
| ENERGY FLOW | Passage of energy through the components of an ecosystem.
🗑
|
||||
| ENERGY TRANFORMATION | Energy changing from one form of energy into a different form of energy.
🗑
|
||||
| 10% RULE | Only 10% of the total energy produced at each trophic level is available to the next level. The amount of energy passed up to the levels of the food pyramid reduces as you go up.
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
