Ecosystem Organisms
animal(s) hunted by other animals for food.
What is prey/resource population?
This is the liquid used in photosynthesis.
What is water?
These 3 things are needed to carry out photosynthesis.
This describes an organism that only eats plants.
What is an herbivore?
Photosynthesis reduces this gas in the atmosphere.
What is carbon dioxide?
This is an example of a biotic part of an ecosystem.
What is -------? (anything that is/was alive)
This is the energy source for photosynthesis.
What is the sun?
This is a process that happens only in producers.
What is photosynthesis?
The reactants of photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight?
These organisms give off carbon dioxide.
What are producers, consumers, and decomposers? (or all living organisms)
an organism that needs to eat to get energy storage molecules
What is a consumer?
This is the energy storage molecule produced during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
This is the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells.
What is cellular respiration?
These are the products of photosynthesis and what is necessary for cellular respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
This gas is necessary for cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
an organism that can make it's own energy storage molecules
What is a producer?
This is the organelle in plant cells that carries out photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Name two different types of energy storage molecules.
What are glucose, fat, starch, and/or glycogen?
Provide an example of a decomposer.
fungi, earthworm, bacteria, mold
Cellular respiration produces this gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
an organism that gets energy storage molecules by breaking down dead matter.
What is a decomposer?
This is moved from abiotic to biotic matter during photosynthesis.
What is carbon?
This is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place.
What is the mitochondria?
Provide an example of a primary consumer.
(any herbivore)
These are the three elements found in all energy storage molecules (two of them are gases in their elemental form).
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
