Organisms that make their food
Producers
One of the most important producers in the freshwater and ocean ecosystems
algae or phytoplankton
Living organisms that get their food by eating other plants or animals
What is a consumer?
Bacteria and fungi are important because of their role in the food chain/web. What role is this
What is a decomposer?
During decomposition, there's not much left except for this! This also help produce the next generation of plants
What are minerals?
Producers need quite a bit of "this and that" to make their own food!
What are water, minerals, and carbon dioxide?
Plants use _____, ______, and _____ to make food.
water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide.
A food web is made up of ________________.
Multiple food chains
The beginning of a good chain normally starts with this!
What is a producer?
This producer relies on this source of energy in a food chain!
What is the sun?
This word refers to the organisms "fighting" for food!
What is "COMPETE"
Herbivores depend on this to produce food
while carnivores depend on this organism for food
What is a consumer?
Name a decomposer
fungi, earth worms, millipedes
These are LONG, HOLLOW tubes that take up water from the soil.
What is xylem?
Vascular plants have a secondary kind of tube that transport a rich kind of liquid to every living cell that can not make its own sugar
What is Phloem and what is sap?
These are specialized structures called vascular bundles - what are those?
What are the xylem tubes and phloem tubes?
interconnected food chains within an ecosystem, showing the flow of energy and nutrients as different organisms consume each other.
what is a food web
Water that evaporates through tiny holes in the leaves that are eventually passed on to the environment is this process
What is transpiration?
These are living organisms that feed on dead trees
What are detritivores?
as the redworms start to eat the fallen leaves and dead wood this is what's happening!
The mass of the detritus ( the trash and waste) decreases slowly while the detritivores leave waste of their own! its a cycle that happens!
The system of blood vessels and the heart which circulates blood to every cell in a human body.
The two most important resources transported to cells!
What is the circulatory system?
What are oxygen and sugar?
Plants not like animals have 2 systems of vessels that are not connected. What is one of the biggest difference in plants vs animals?
When extra water evaporates into the air?
When water passes THROUGH the plant?
When water doesn't not circulate like blood in animals?
The most important component that every cell needs to make sugar!
What is chlorophyll?
This PLANT process is to make sugar for growth!
The two raw materials used to make sugar during this process?
What is PHOTOSYNTHESIS?
What are water and carbon dioxide?
The bonus of the day!
What is 500 for all teams!
