correct answer worth 1000 points
How does energy flow through an ecosystem?
Energy moves through food chains and food webs, going from:
Sun → Producers → Consumers → Decomposers
What biome would be described as hot, arid and dry.
What is the desert

Explain a habitat's essential components and what it provides for life.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A habitat is the natural environment where an organism lives, providing all the necessary components for it to survive, grow, and reproduce. A suitable habitat must contain four essential components in the correct arrangement: food, water, shelter, and space.
How do limiting factors affect organisms in an ecosystem?
control the size of a population,
Biotic (living): predators, disease, competition, Abiotic (nonliving): water, sunlight, temperature, space
The major difference between a habitat and ecosystem
What is that habitat refers to one organism and ecosystems refer to many organisms

Define Predation
Competition
Mutualism
Commensalism
Predation: One organism (the predator) kills and eats another (the prey).
Competition: Two or more organisms compete for the same resources, such as food, space, or mates.
Mutualism: Both organisms benefit from the relationship (e.g., bees and flowers).
Commensalism: One organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed (e.g., barnacles on whales).
