Detritivores
These include herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and detritivores
Heterotrophs
The natural home of a group of living things
habitat

The way a plant will bend to grow towards a light source is called what? (two words)
Positive phototropism
What is the process of humans using breeding programs or even in vitro fertilization, producing offspring with traits that are favorable called?
Artificial selection
Food chains, food webs and ecological ____________ are models used to show how energy moves through ecosystems
pyramids
These eat plant and animal matter. They are thus placed on the trophic level
omnivores
Scientific study of all the interrelationships between organisms and their environment
Ecology
These worms on land and aquatic insects living on stream bottoms eat fragments of dead matter in an ecosystem returning nutrients to the soil, air and water
detritivores
If the extremes of a population are selected against, what type of natural selection pattern is this?
Stabilizing
The evaporation of water vapor through the stomata of leaves
This cycle consists of constant circulation of the element __________ through living things and the atmosphere
Nitrogen
The trophic level or also called the ____ level is the level at which living things are positioned within a food chain
energy
