definition
A
25
An animal that eats meat.
26
The populations of all species in an ecosystem.
27
Organisms that eat plants or animals.
28
Organisms like bacteria and fungi which decay dead material.
29
Diagram that represents the relative levels of each organism at a
30
particular trophic level. These may be pyramids of biomass or number.
31
A flow chart that shows the movement of energy through an ecosystem.
32
The non-biological material in an ecosystem
e.g. rocks and water.
33
A linear diagram of feeding relationships.
34
A series of interacting food chains.
35
Where an organism lives.
36
An animal that only eats plants.
37
A reaction that uses water
carbon dioxide and energy from sunlight to
38
make glucose and oxygen.
39
All the organisms of a particular species found in an ecosystem at a
40
particular time.
41
An animal that feeds on producers.
42
Green plants that photosynthesise to make food.
43
Ecological pyramid which shows the total mass of organisms at each
44
trophic level.
45
Ecological pyramid which shows the total number of organisms at each
46
trophic level.
47
A square of plastic
wood or metal that is used to measure samples
48
when investigating a population.
49
An animal that feeds on a primary consumer.
50
The position at which an organism feeds in a food chain. A producer will
51
always be at level one.
52
All the living and non-living things in a habitat
53
the amount of variation shown by organism in an ecosystem. It is a
54
measure of both the number of species and the abundance of each
55
species.
