Anything that is or once was a living thing. Orderly structure shown by living things Process that results in mass being added to an organism; may include formation of new cells and new structures. Changes an organism undergoes in its lifetime before reaching its adult form. Production of offspring. Group of organisms that can interbred and produce fertile offspring. Any change in an organism’s internal or external environment that causes the organism to react. An organism’s reaction to a stimulus. Regulation of an organism’s internal environment to maintain conditions needed for life. Characteristics of a species that are passed on from generation to generation that develops over time in response to the environment, enabling a species to survive. heterotroph that consumes both plants and animals heterotroph that decomposes organic material and returns the nutrients so they are available to other organisms nonliving factor in an organism’s environment total mass of living matter at each trophic level group of organisms of the same species that occupy the same geographic place at the same time. physical area in which an organism lives heterotroph that preys on other heterotrophs symbiotic relationship in which both organism benefit simplified model that shows a single path for energy flow through an ecosystem relatively thin layer of Earth and its atmosphere that supports life organism that captures energy from sunlight or inorganic substances to produce its own food organism that cannot make its own food and gets its nutrients and energy requirements by feeding on other organisms each step in a food chain or food web close mutualistic, parasitic, or commensal association between two or more species that live together any living factor in an organism’s environment all the interacting populations of different species that live in the same geographic location at the same time scientific study of all the interrelationships between organisms and their environment act of one organism feeding on another organism symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism is neither helped nor harmed chemical substance that living organisms obtain from the environment to carry out life processes and sustain life anything that takes up space and has mass large group of ecosystems that share the same climate and have similar types of communities model that shows many interconnected food chains and pathways in which energy and matter flow through an ecosystem biological community and all the nonliving factors that affect it role, or position of an organism in its environment symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits at the expense of another organism heterotroph that eats only plants the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration process by which oxygen released into the atmosphere by photosynthetic organisms is taken up by aerobic organisms while the carbon dioxide released as a byproduct of respiration is taken up for photosynthesis Directions Part 1 1. Look in the glossary for the definition of each vocabulary word. 2. Find the matching definiton in your Ch. 2 Vocabulary packet. 3. Write the vocabulary word that matches the definition on the back of each box. Part 2 1. Cut out the definitions and vocabulary words. 2. Pair the definition with the vocabulary word. 3. In your interactive notebook, glue in each vocabulary word and it’s definition side by side.
