100
What are producers?
Plants, algae, and some micro-organisms are these.
100
What is a food web?
This picture or diagram demonstrates that there is more than one type of producer, consumer etc. in an ecosystem.
100
What is phosphorus?
This type of chemical is in the soil due to rock erosion and is an important cycle in ecosystems.
200
What are consumers?
These organisms cannot make their own food, so they eat producers to obtain energy.
200
What is a herbivore?
A grasshoper is an example of this.
200
What is a food chain?
This is an illustration that demonstrates how energy moves in an ecosytem.
200
What is carbon?
This element is in sugars, proteins, starches and other compounds that make up living things. It's important to both nonliving and living things.
300
What are decomposers?
These organisms that get energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms.
300
What is a carnivore?
An owl is an example of this.
300
What are nitrifying bacteria?
This changes nitrogen in plants so they can absorb it.
300
What is the sun?
The energy movement in an ecosystem begins with this.
400
What is a species?
A group of organisms that share similar characteristics and can reproduce among themselves.
400
What is scavenger?
A turkey vulture is an example of this.
400
What is nitrogen?
Nitrifying bacteria helps to change this in plants into food that they can absorb through their roots.
400
What is a carnivore?
Living organisms that eat only meat are called this.
500
sun ==> producers ==> herbivores ==> carnivores ==> scavengers
What is the correct order of these ecosystem roles: Herbivores, Sun, Producers, Carnivores, Scavengers
500
What are decomposers?
Fungi are an example of these.
500
What is at the top?
Less energy is available at the top or the bottom of the food energy pyramid in an ecosystem?
500
What is from procucers?
This is where carnivores get their energy.
