Unit 6 Lesson 1
The process in which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into food
Photosynthesis
True or False: The water cycle is where water is reused over and over again
True
This shows the feeding relationships among many different organisms and in an ecosystem
Food Web
a consumer that eats only plants, such as a grasshopper or bison.
Herbivore
is the ability to do work and enables organisms to use matter in life processes.
Energy
Green pigment that captures energy from sunlight.
Chlorophyl
is the place where an organism lives within an ecosystem.
Habitat
Is the path of energy that transfers from producers to consumers
Food Chain
eats other animals, such as a badger or a wolf.
Carnivore
states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Law of conservation of mass
The process in breaking down food into ATP.
Cellular Respiration
also called an autotroph, uses energy to make food.
Producer
eats both plants and animals.
Omnivore
the burning of materials, like wood and fossil fuels.
Combustion
A tool to trace the energy through an ecosystem
Energy Pyramid
Does your body get all its energy from the sun?
No
an organism that gets its energy and nutrients by breaking down the remains of other organisms.
Decomposer
is a community of living organisms and their nonliving environment.
Ecosystem
is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Matter
The movement of carbon between the environment and living things in it.
Carbon Cycle
Could cellular respiration happen without photosynthesis? Explain...
No, because plants couldn't make food without it, and if plant die, we die
is an organism that eats other organisms.
Consumer
What is a position or a role a species has in an ecosystem called?
A Niche
the break down of dead organisms and waste
Decombustion
The movement of Nitrogen between the environment and living things.
Nitrogen Cycle
