elevation
Where do detritivores get their energy?
They consume the waste products of animals and plants.
Carnivores
get their food from other animals
This Biome has drastic temperature changes and low precip.
desert
What 2 things exist in an ecosystem?
Biotic and A-Biotic factors
This biome has 2 seasons a year

Food chain
Omnivores
get their food from both plants and animals
This biome is known for its Baobab trees

population is a subgroup of an ecosystem made of of organisms of the same species. TRUE OR FALSE?
False, it’s a subgroup of a community not an ecosystem.
This biome is the opposite of the tundra

chaparral
Draw a T-Chart the categories should be A-Biotic and Biotic factors. Three in each category.
A-Biotic should be non-living things
Biotic should be living
