What is an ecosystem?
Crossing over occurs in this phase.

What is chlorophyll
A species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically.
What is a keystone species?
An organism that obtains energy from sunlight or inorganic compounds.
What is an autotroph or producer

What is a population?
Which organisms have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
Producers
This process is used by the yeast in bread to produce energy and also results in the formation of acids and alcohols
