I make my own food using carbon dioxide, sunlight and water...

hint: Plant is the wrong answer

What is a producer

100

Plants use this  as energy to make their own food

What is Sunlight

100

this organism starts off every ecosystem

What is a plant

100

The explanation of what makes up existence.

What is "everything is made of matter. Matter is made of molecules."

100

This particular decomposer feeds on all dead matter on the sim

What is a mushroom

100

This was food for the sloths in the rainforest

What are Cecropia trees

100

I study the world of living organisms. Seeing parts interact in many ecosystems. Who am I? 

Who are ecologists?

200

I eat mostly meat (other animals) and nothing else

What is a carnivore

200

Plants take in water through this part 

What are roots

200

provides Energy in every ecosystem

What is the sun

200

How everything moves and grows.

Animals, plants, and decomposers use some food molecules to release energy for movement and growth. 

200

The mushroom puts this into the soil for plants

What are nutrients

200

This plant has nutrients, water and carbon dioxide but does not have Sunlight

What is dead

200

Fish swim, plants grow, no soil around above or below. What am I?

What is aquaponics

300

I get food matter I need from dead matter 

What is a decomposer?

300

Plants take in this through the small holes in their leaves

What is Carbon Dioxide

300

This shows only 1 thing that every organism eats. It shows only 1 line of energy flow in an ecosystem.

What is a food chain

300

How things grow.

Animals, plants, and decomposers grow by changing food molecules into body molecules that can build their bodies. 

300

If the rabbits becomes unhealthy or dies this organism population decreases

what are the wolves/ coyotes

300

This plant has water, sunlight and carbon dioxide but does not have nutrients

What is Unhealthy Plant - possibly a dying plant

300

Everything is made of me, as far as the eye can see. Molecules and atoms long or shorten, they are all me because they're important.

What is matter?

400

I eat other organisms to get food molecules I need

What is a consumer

400

Plants release this out into the air for all organisms including humans 

What is Oxygen

400

This shows that organisms eat multiple things or multiple lines of energy flow in an ecosystem.

What is a food web

400

How the ground is involved in recycling. 

Decomposers release nutrients from dead plants and animals into the soil.

400

This happens when organisms are growing 

What are stacking cubes

400

The biggest difference between the project area soil and the healthy rainforest soil 

What are decomposers 

400

Plants, animals, or decomposers are me. The generic name for all living things that you see. What are we? 

What are organisms?

500

The changing of food molecules into body molecules that can build their bodies. (Key concepts)

How do animals, plants, and decomposers grow?

500

Some food molecules are used to release energy for...(Key Concept)

How do animals, plants, and decomposers move and grow?

500

This is an organism that enters an ecosystem that it not native to it causing harm. Usually brought in by humans

What are Invasive species

500

2 answers - need both. 

Food making

Plants use water molecules, carbon dioxide molecules from the air, and energy from the sun to make food. 

Plants need nutrients to help make food molecules for energy and body matter.

Ingredients: Water, CO2, Sun light, and Nutrients = plant food.

500

This happens when organisms gain energy

What is blink yellow light

500

Plants grown in a system that provides nutrients in a water-based environment but does not use any soil. 

What is hydroponics

500
Because of me the dead help the living, the material I deliver helps plants keep on giving. I eat and I eat the remains of life all, decomposers, producers, consumers they're all called. What am I?

What is a detritivore?
