In order to live and grow, plants require water, sunlight, nutrients, and this other requirement

Air

100

In this image, the deer gets the energy it needs from this organism

Grass

100

Plants use this gas as part photosynthesis and then create clean oxygen for us to breathe

Carbon Dioxide

100

An animal that is hunted and eaten by a larger animal is called this

Prey

100

The place where an organism lives and finds what it needs to survive is called this

Habitat

200

The process that plants use to make food

Photosynthesis

200

The original source of energy for nearly all organisms on Earth

The Sun

200

Plants are known as this type of organism because they are able to make sugar, which is their main source of matter and energy. 

Producers

200

An animal that hunts and eats another animal is called this

Predator

200

A community of different organisms that interact with each other in an area is this

Ecosystem

300

The two things that are made when plants go through the photosynthesis process

Sugar and Oxygen

300

The 3 things all animals need to live and grow

Water, air, food

300

When animals eat plants or other animals, the matter in the food is used to help them grow, move, and this other bodily process

Repair (from injuries or illness)

300

In a grassland, lions and hyenas both hunt zebras and other herbivores. Because they depend on the same food source, these two animals are known as this

Competitors

300

This group of penguins living in the same area at the same time is known as this

Population

400

In addition to sunlight, plants need these two other things in order for photosynthesis to occur

Water and Carbon Dioxide

400

All of the animals in this image are considered to be this type of organism. 

Consumers

400

Matter from food moves is converted to energy and moves through a food chain when this happens

One organism eats another

400

This organism is an example of one that decomposes, or breaks down, dead organisms and waste

Fungi, bacteria, or worms

400

An ecosystem can't exist without this combination of air, water, soil, temperature, and all living things interacting together. This combination is called this.

Environment

500

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are able to move in and out of a plant through these openings, located on the underside of a leaf

Stomata

500

These recyclers of nature complete the flow of energy by turning once-living matter into nutrients plants can reuse

Decomposers

500

Animals obtain gases, food, and water from the environment and release _________ back into the environment. 

Waste matter

500

When a population of predators increases, or a competing predator moves into the environment, this occurs to the resources available

Decreases

500

In a forest, woodpeckers eat insects from tree bark while robins hunt worms on the ground. Both are birds, but they don't compete for food because each fills a different one of these
