Species are a group of organisms that are similar to other animals and can breed together to make a offspring.
Explain what condensation is.
Condensation is that state from a gas to a liquid, for example a ice cube turning into a liquid.
How does the food chain work?
The first organism that starts the food chain would be a producer, they get their energy from the sun, which is then passed onto the primary and secondary consumers, and finally the tertiary consumers are the ones that eat the secondary consumers. After that the job is left for the decomposers to decompose the left over nutrients.

What is a population?

What is ecological succession?

What does the biosphere contain?
It contains the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and the ecosphere. Having all the ecosystems. In which all life exist.
What is a Niche?
A niche is a role that species play, the niche includes what food it eats, where it will live, and where it will produce. As well as its relationship with other species.
Whats are heterotrophs?
Whats an ecosystem?
Its a collection of all the organisms that live in a specific place together with their non-living environment.
What are decomposers?
Decomposers are organisms that consume dead plants and animals, and break them down. Some examples of decomposers would be bacteria and fungi.
Whats a Biome?
A biome is a group of ecosystems that have similar climate and dominant communities.
What is a food chain?
Its a series of steps in which different organisms transfer energy by decomposing and being eaten.
2 facts that affect the ecosystem.
An area where an organism has lived or lives in is called a habitat. A niche is a full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives.
How much energy does each organisms carry?
The producers carry 100% energy, first-level consumers carry 10% of energy, second level consumers carry 1%, and third level consumers have 0.5% of energy in them.
What is energy flow?
It's the specific type of energy that is constantly flowing through an ecosystem as consumers eat. Basically the energy flow of living things within an ecosystem.
What is the level of organization of ecosystem?
It would be Individual, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere. All in order.
What is photosynthesis?
The process in which plants get energy light and food, and the process in which they grow.
Name 3 Abiotic Factors.
Physical and non-living, can influence the structure of an ecosystem. These are some of the temperatures in an ecosystem are wind, sunlight, humidity, and nutrients.
What is succession?
Primary succession, is succession that happens on the surface level where no soil exists.
What is the food web?
Its a network of complex feeding relationship, among the many organisms in a ecosystem.
