energy transfer
A diagram that shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web.
what is ; energy pyramid
only plant eaters ?
what are herbivores
organism that are able to make their own food
what is autotrophs
what is a process where water vapor cools and forms clouds ?
what is condensation
Another name for sugar
what is glucose
Organisms that break down the remains and other wastes and release simple inorganic molecules back to the environment.
decomposers
what are the names of animals that eat animals that have already died
what are scavangers
what do the arrows mean in a food chain or web?
transfer of energy
process by which dead plants become compressed over millions of years
what are fossil fuels
consumers that only eat meat
what are carnivores
An organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms or their remains.
what is consumers
eats both plant and meat
what are omnivores
A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.
what is a food chain
water that returns to the atmosphere from plants ?
what is transpiration
consumers that only eat plants
what are herbivores
Organisms that use energy from the sunlight to make food by photosynthesis.
what is photoautotrophs
where are herbivores located on the energy pyramid ?
1st lever- primary consumer
A community of organisms where there are several interrelated food chains.
what is a food web
our plants and tree's help do what to our air ?
what is filter the air
make a food chain with these organisms
hawk
frog
rose (flower)
praying mantis
what is
rose
praying mantis
frog
hawk
The process in which autotrophs use the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars (food).
what is photosynthesis
what are tertiary consumers otherwise known as?
what are predators
name all the tropic levels IN ORDER
producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary, decomposers
is cellular respiration a light reaction or a chemical reaction?
what is a chemical reaction
what are the differences or similarities between a food chain and a food web ( need 3 )
1. both show energy flow between organisms
2. if one thing is moved from he food chain it changed it drastically but not the food web
3. food chain- one connection
4. food web- many connections
