what happens to organisms that die in the ecosystem?

decomposers break them down.

when an organism blends into its environment

camouflage

what do the arrows in a food web represent?

the flow of energy or path that energy takes through an ecosystem

If a sea turtle eats a jellyfish, which is the prey?

jellyfish

200

this is an organism that only eats plants

herbivores

What makes a food chain and a food web different? 

Food chain is one single path of energy, food web is many overlapping & interconnected chains.

consumers need THIS to get energy and survive

producers

A mouse ate a strawberry and a fox ate the mouse. How did the energy get from the sun to the fox? 

The strawberry turned the sun into food through photosynthesis. Then the energy went from the strawberry to the mouse then to the fox when they got eaten.

energy flows TO this in a food chain

predator

what is a decomposers main job in the ecosystem?

break down dead organisms into nutrients & recycle nutrients into the soil

grass -> Caterpillar -> bird -> fox

What is the secondary consumer? 

Bird

all organisms need this to survive. Some get it and turn it into food, some consume others to get this.

400

how does energy get turned into food?

photosynthesis by the producers

400

energy flows from this in a food web

prey

400

organisms that get energy from eating other organisms.

consumer

Which "step" of the food chain is the "end"?

decomposers

400

when a species moves to another place regularly in order to survive (seasonally, to mate, etc.)

migration

I cannot make my own energy, I rely on eating other organisms to get energy.

the fish ate the worm and an alligator ate the fish. Which is the predator AND prey? 

FISH

what do mushrooms do for the ecosystem? 

break down dead things into nutrients to recycle into the soil
