complex interactions of different organisms with one another and with their environment is a(n)
ecosystem
continuous movement of nitrogen between air, soil, plants, and animals is the
nitrogen cycle
all plants need this to survive
sun/sunlight
where do plants get the nutrients they need
water and air
Food webs illustrate
how energy passes from organism to organism
animals likely do this when its ecosystem was destroyed
move to a new place
continuous transfer of carbon between the atmosphere and organisms is the
carbon cycle
the following products are made during this process: sugar, oxygen
photosynthesis
Animals get the energy they need for growth and repair from
the food they eat
relationship between the Sun, plants, and animals in a food web
Sun provides energy for plants to make their own food, and animals eat plants or other animals
the living and nonliving factors in an environment and all their interactions
ecosystem
3 main parts of the water cycle
precipitation, condensation, evaporation
this is the job of the leaves
to make food for the plant
these organisms take all the nutrients from dead organisms and return to the ground
decomposers
this is a NOT a limiting factor
pets
the most important reason endangered species should be protected
it affects other animals within the ecosystem.
the 3 cycles that are important to all life on earth
water, carbon and nitrogen cycle
