Ecosystem Flashcards
It of the basic functional unit of an environment in which living and nonliving organisms interact
Ecosystem
These are large sections of land, sea, or atmosphere
Biomes
Two Biotic Factors
• Autotrophs
• Heterotrophs
They can produce food of their own by the process of photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
Autotrophs (Producers)
They depend on autotrophs for food.
Heterotrophs (Consumers)
Producers which prepare food through photosynthesis using low solar energy.
Phototrophs
Producers which prepare food through chemosynthesis using atmospheric oxygen.
Chemotrophs
Consumers who depend on dead plants and animals for nutrition.
Saprophytes (Decomposers)
Consumers who depend on living organisms for nutrition.
Parasites
Consumers who get food through the mouth.
Holozoic
It composes those organisms that make their food.
The producer level
It composes those organisms that feed on the producer level.
The primary consumer level
It composes those organisms that feed on the primary consumers.
The secondary consumer level
