100
Organisms that use sunlight directly to make food
What are producers
100
Vultures are classified in this group.
What are scavengers
100
The primary source of energy for all living things is this.
What is sunlight
100
These are the factors that control physical traits in a person.
What are genes
100
This is a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight.
What is Photosynthesis
200
Main producers in the water
What is algae
200
Consumer that eats ONLY plants
What are herbivores
200
Collection of all organisms that live in a particular place, together with their nonliving environment.
What is an ecosystem
200
The passing traits to offspring
What is heredity?
200
A food chain is different from a food web because the food web shows...
What is many sources of food
300
organisms that remove stored energy from dead organisms
What are decomposers
300
Consumer that eats other animals
What is carnivore
300
What is the study of the relationships between the environment and living things.
What is Ecology
300
A trait that remains hidden when another stronger trait is present
What is recessive trait
400
This organism cannot make it's own food and feeds on other organisms.
What are consumers
400
Breaks down dead animals and plants into nutrients and returns to the soil
What is Decomposer
400
This can show how energy flows through an ecosystem
What is an Energy Pyramid
400
A trait that shows in every offspring
What is a dominant trait
400
A process of reproduction that involves only one parent plant or plant part and produces offspring identical to the parent plant.
What is asexual reproduction
500
the pathway of energy transfer through various species
What is food chain
500
The process in which producers get their food.
What is photosynthesis
500
Why is each part of the circle of life important?
Each part is important because each relies on the other groups to survive. Producers create oxygen and use carbon dioxide. Consumers use plants and each other for food. Scavengers get rid of dead plants and animals. Decomposers break down the waste and leftovers into nutrients for the producers
