Living things in a enviroment
Abiotic factors
Non-living things in a enviroment
Habitat
A place were particular organisms live
Organism
Living thing
Species
A group of animals with many features in common
Population
The amount of the individual organisms species at a certain time
Community
Both living organisms both plant and animal at a certain time
Producers
Organisms that make their own food
Consumers
Organisms that relies on another organism for food
Food webs
Multiple food chains put together
Photosynthesis
A organism using the Suns energy to produce things like water and carbon dioxcide
Chlorophyll
The green chemical parts of a plant used for photosynthesising
Cellular respiration
A chemical reaction using oxygen that moves energy from the glucose to the compound ATP
Autotrophs
Organisms that produce their own nutrients
Heterotrophs
Organisms that rely on other organisms to supply their molecules and energy
Carnivors
Animals that eat other animals
Herbivores
Animals that eats plants
Omnivores
Animals that eat other animals and plants
Detrivores
Animals that eat other animals faeces
Decomposers
Small organisms that eat decaying animals
Ecological niche
Specific conditions to which an organism is able to live within
Niche
The conditions in which an organism lives
Habitat

Intraspecific competition
Members of one species compete for the same resources
Intraspecific competition
Members of one species compete for the same resources
Host
The organism in which a parasite lives in
Parasite
A organism that lives in or on another organism. The parasite benefits while usually harming the host organism
Parasitism
A relationship were one organism benefits and one dosn’t
Mutualism
A relationship were two organisms benefit
Commensalism
We’re on organism benefits without affecting the other
Preditore

Prey
The animal that is hunted
Realationship
A companionship between to biotic factors
Symbiosis
A long term interaction between two or more biological species
Symbiotic
Two diverse organisms that have sort of relationship were not always both benefit
Food chain
A diagram that show producer/producers and what they eat
Food chains
A diagram that shows the producer/s, what they/it eat and who eats it/they
Food webs
Multiple food chains put together
First topic level
The Lowest part of a food web which contains the most energy
Second topic level
The second lowest part of a food web which contains the most yet not full amount of energy
Third topic level
The second highest part of a food web which contains nearly the smallest amount of energy
Fourth topic level
The highest part of a food web which contains the smallest amount of energy
Tophic levels
Feeding levels in a food chain
Tertiary
The third in order level
Agriculture
The use of land to grow crops or raise farm animals
Monocultures
Crops grown on land used for one kind of crop only
Fertilisers
Chemicals added to soil to provide the nutrients needed for plant growth
Eutrophication
A form of water pollution involving an excess of nutrients such as nitrates and phosphorus leaching from soils, typically resulting in excessive growth of algae
Eutrophication

Biological control:
a method of controlling pests by introducing one of their natural enemies
Chemical control
the control of plant or animal pests by the use of chemicals
Pesticides:
a substance or preparation for destroying pests, usually by being poisonous to them
