Herbivore
What is
an organism that eats only
plants?
A step-by-step sequence
linking organisms that feed
on each other
What is
a Food Chain?
Non-living factors in the
ecosystem such as
temperature and wind
direction.
What is abiotic?
An organism that eats both
plants and meat.
What is omnivore?
The study of how organisms
interact with each other and
their physical environment.
What is Ecology?
CO2, H2O and N2O
What are
Inorganic Substances?
The largest reservoir of
carbon near
the surface of the Earth.
What is the ocean?
During photosynthesis, this
gas is produced.
What is oxygen?
These substances always
contain atoms of carbon AND
hydrogen, and often, oxygen
and nitrogen.
What are
Organic Substances?
During this process,
green plants absorb CO2
from the atmosphere and
use it to manufacture plant
fibres, starches and sugars
What is
photosynthesis?
It is the source of all energy
in Earth’s ecosystems.
What is the Sun?
This “rule” states only 10% of
the energy in one trophic
level will be passed to the
next trophic level.
What is
the Rule of Ten?
It is the diagram that shows
the movement of energy
through trophic levels.
What is
a Pyramid of Energy?
Biogeochemical cycle in
which carbon is cycled
through the lithosphere,
atmosphere, hydrosphere
and biosphere
What is
the Carbon Cycle?
The place or area where an
organism lives
What is Habitat?
An organism that CANNOT
makes its own food
What is
a Heterotroph or Consumer?
An organism that makes its
own food
What is
an Autotroph or a Producer?
Many different organisms as
a measure of a healthy
ecosystem.
What is Diversity?
A resource that can be used
continuously without being
completely depleted because
it regenerates itself
What is a
Renewable Resource?
It is the number of
organisms an area can
sustain indefinitely
What is Carrying Capacity?
Autotrophs or Producers
(e.g., plants).
What is an organism that can
make its own energy?
A combination
of many food chains
What is a Food Web?
An animal that eats meat.
What is
a Carnivore?
An organism that feeds on
the dead body of other
organisms and, in the
process, releases nutrients
to the soil and water
What is a Decomposer?
A factor in an ecosystem
created by the presence
and roles of living things
What is Biotic Factor?
