How is an ecosytem an example of a system?
An ecosystem is like a system because it has living and nonliving parts. Those parts work together for a common purpose of survival. they are in balance with each other.

Define a heterotroph?
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In the food chain, heterotrophs are primary, secondary and tertiary consumers, but not producers.

Define Autotroph.
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers

List and describe 5 types of major terrestrial biomes.
- Desert: Receives less than 10 inches of precipitation per year. Can reach very high temperatures well above 100 degrees F, and is a very dry landscape. Deserts don't support abundant plant life.
- Arctic Tundra: Also very dry, less than 10 inches of precipitation per year, but extremely cold as well. Found in Arctic regions of the Earth, and no trees are found here. Living organisms must be very hardy in order to live in this area.
- Boreal Forests: Receives 15-39 inches of precipitation per year and is found in the Northern latitudes. Predominantly covered with coniferous trees and has cool summers and cold winters. Supports many types of plant life.
- Grasslands: Receive about 10-30 inches of precipitation per year and grass is the predominant vegetation in this biome. This type of biome is found in central North America, and many large grazing animals are found here.
- Savanna: Receive about 4-16 inches of precipitation per year and vegetation is mainly grass and scattered trees. Found in hot areas which are also tropical.

Name 6 Abiotic factors

Are nonliving components of an ecosystem important?
Nonliving components are very important. Air is nonliving. Air contains oxygen which organisms need to breath to live. Air also contains carbon dioxide. Plants need carbon dioxide to produce their food. The sun is nonliving. Plants need the sun to produce their food. Animals need the sun for the heat it provides.

What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?
Food chain - A series of events in which one organism eats another. One of three ways in which energy moves through an ecosystem.
Food web - The pattern of overlapping food chains in an ecosystem. One of three ways in which energy moves through an ecosystem. A model of feeding relationships.
