Animals
A tiger eats only other animals. A tiger is classified as a........
Carnivore
By feeding on dead organisms, this organism gets its energy by eating the remains of organisms.
Detritivore/Decomposer
Unlike matter, energy does not cycle through an ecosystem, instead energy does this
Flows in one direction
Energy from the sun goes to this organism first
Producers/Plants
The process plants use to create their own food
Photosynthesis
A monkey that lives in the jungle could be classified as this.
Living things that make their own food are called
Producers
How are producers and consumers similar
Both need energy for their life processes.
The top predator in a food web is known as an
Apex predator
The name of the energy created by cellular respiration. The bodies cells use it for their energy.
ATP
Horses consume straw, hay, and oats. Given the type of food they eat, horses would be classified as....

Omnivore
How do detritivores/decomposers get their energy
by consuming dead organisms

The sun
In photosynthesis what 3 things go into a leaf and what 2 things come out
In: Water, Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide
Out: Oxygen, sugar/glucose
Earthworms eat fallen leaves. This helps keep the forest clean and also puts nutrients back into the soil. Earthworms could be classified as.....
Detritivores or Decomposers
Herbivore
What do the arrows in food chains and a food web show us.
The way the energy flows.
How do food chains or food webs model how energy flows.
It shows how energy goes from sun to producer, consumers, and finally decomposers
Cellular respiration requires these 2 things
Oxygen and Sugar/Glucose
A human that eats no animal products are known as vegans. They could also be classified as.....
Herbivores
A model of energy transfer that is made up of many overlapping food chains.
Food web
How are consumers and producers different
Producers can make their own energy
Consumers have to eat to get their energy
The final step in a food chain is
Detritivores/Decomposers break down the dead organism for energy
What makes a plant green
Chlorophyll
