Organisms that break down dead plants and animals.
What are decomposers?
An organism that makes its own food.
What is a producer?
The first step of every food chain.
What is the Sun?
This is a diagram that shows who eats whom. (Photo Double)
What is a food chain?
Plants need this to make food.
What is sunlight?
This decomposer recycles nutrients from waste. (Photo Double)
What are pill bugs?
The sun is this to a an ecosystem.
What is the main source of energy in an ecosystem
Organisms that transfer the Sun’s energy to the food chain.
What are producers?

What is a food web?
The process plants do when they use sunlight to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
The place in the food chain where decomposers belong.
What is at the very end?
Organisms that eat other organisms.
What are consumers?
The food chain describes this about energy.
What is the transfer of energy from one organism to another
The food web is this.
What is all the food chains in an ecosystem
What will decrease first if sunlight is blocked in an aquatic ecosystem?
What is sea grass?
Name two decomposers.
What are mushrooms and worms? (or pill bugs or bacteria)
The producer in this food chain: algae → krill → salmon → seagull.
What is algae?
What happens to energy as you move up the food chain?
It decreases.
This is the energy source for algae and grass?
What is the sun?

Plants make their own food.
This is what ecology is.
What is the study of the relationships among organisms and their environments
A predator is this.
What is an animal that hunts and eats other animals

What is the top predator (like an orca)?
In which food chain would the mushrooms be the decomposer? (Photo Double)
