Matter and Energy in Ecosystems
matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, and rocks
Abiotic Matter
an organism that needs to eat in order to get energy storage molecules (such as starch and fat)
Consumer
all the living and nonliving things interacting in a particular area
*Challenge* Extra 300 pts
Using the cups provided, flip 4 balls in a row, inside the cup. You have 2 tries.
Ecosystem
when two or more populations use the same resource, such as the same food source
competition
what are living things, such as plants, animals, and bacteria called?
organisms
the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
Cellular Respiration
an organism that gets energy storage molecules (such as glucose) by breaking down dead matter
*Challenge* Extra 500 pts- Must answer question correctly
All members of your team must jump over each cup.
If the cups falls, you need to start again. 2 X TRIES
decomposer
a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive
Energy Storage Molecule
a scientist who studies the interactions of organisms with each other and their environment
ecologist
the amount of matter that makes up an object
*Challenge* Extra 400 pts

Mass
a type of atom (a tiny piece) that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules
Carbon
the part of a cell where photosynthesis happens
Chloroplast
a molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
*Challenge* Extra 100 pts
Using the cups provided, flip 2 balls in a row, inside the cup. You have 2 tries.
Glucose
the energy that an object has because it is moving
*Challenge* Extra 400 pts
