Biotic and Abiotic
Rocks, soil, and sunlight are all examples of...
What are abiotic factors?
This shows how energy moves from one organism to another in a straight line.
What is a food chain?
These organisms are always found at the first level of a food chain.
What is a producer?
This type of consumer only eats producers, such as plants or algae.
What is a primary consumer?
This type of animal eats only plants. For example, a cow, rabbit, or deer.
What is an herbivore?
These are the living parts of an ecosystem, such as plants and animals.
What are biotic factors?
These organisms are always at the start of a food chain because they make their own food.
What are producers?
These organisms are always found at the end of a food chain.
What are decomposers?
A bear that eats berries, fish, and small mammals is an example of this type of consumer.
What is a tertiary consumer?
Lions, wolves, and sharks are examples of this type of animal because they eat only other animal meat.
What is a carnivore?
The biotic and abiotic factors that interact within an area?
What is ecosystem
Releases nutrients back into the soil.
What are decomposers?
The three things that producers need to make food.
What is sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide?
This consumer is at the top of the food chain and can eat secondary consumers, primary consumers, or producers.
What is a tertiary consumer?
Bears, humans, and raccoons eat both plants and animals, making them this type of animal.
What is an omnivore?
A tree, a bird, and bacteria are all examples of this in an ecosystem.
What are biotic factors?
In the food chain grass → rabbit → fox → eagle → fungi, this organism is the secondary consumer.
What is a fox?
This is an example of a producer in a freshwater ecosystem.
What is algae?
An animal that only eats herbivores, like a snake eating a rabbit, is this type of consumer.
What is a secondary consumer?
This type of animal has teeth adapted for grinding plants, a long digestive tract, and never eats meat.
What is a herbivore?
This abiotic factor provides energy for plants to make their own food through photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
This type of consumer eats only plants.
What is a primary consumer? What is a herbivore?
These organisms get their energy by eating other organisms.
What are consumers?
In the food chain grass → grasshopper → frog → hawk, the frog is this type of consumer.
What is a secondary consumer?
An animal that can switch its diet based on availability, eating insects one season and fruits the next, is classified as this type of eater.
What is an omnivore?
