I break down dead plants and animals, what am I?
What is a decomposer
The source of most energy on Earth is this.
sun
I am a type of consumer that feeds on the remains of other organisms. Some of my classification feeds on dead organisms while others help decompose them.
detritivores
During this cycle, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Carbon
All the nonliving and living things in an area.
ecosystem
This is used to show the amount of energy available in each step of the food chain.
Energy pyramid
This cycle involves nitrogen-fixing bacteria, lightning, and decaying organic matter.
Nitrogen
The average weather conditions in an area over time.
climate
During decomposition, decomposers produce this gas which helps recycle nutrients through the ecosystem.
carbon dioxide
In a food chain and a food web, the arrow indicates this.
The flow of energy
This cycle involves carbon dioxide and oxygen gases as well as the process of photosynthesis.
Oxygen
All the nonliving things in an ecosystem.
abiotic factors
This is the process during which producers use chemical energy in matter rather than light energy and make food.
Chemosynthesis
This trophic level has 90% of the original energy remaining for use.
Trophic level 2
This is the process in which water vapor changes into liquid water.
Condensation
