| #5 | What is the difference between a producer and consumer? | A producer makes (produces) its own food and a consumer gets its energy by eating (consuming)other organisms |
| Food Chain/Food Web | ||

| #2 | A _________________________ shows the relationships among different food chains. | food web |
| #3 | What kind of organism is last in a food chain? | decomposer |
| #4 | A diagram that shows how much energy is passed to each level in a food chain | Energy Pyramid |
| #5 | What are ALL the changes that could happen if the grasshoppers decreased in the food chain (grass-grasshopper-bird-bacteria)? | There would be more grass and less birds |
| Ecosystems | ||
| #1 | A community of organisms and the environment in which they live. | ecosystem |
| #2 | Given 2 examples of abiotic elements in an ecosystem | water, oxygen, rocks, dirt, etc |
| #3 | What would happen if there were no more plants in an ecosystem? | Consumers and decomposers would not get energy and die |
| #4 | What would happen if there were no more abiotic elements in an ecosystem? | Producers would not be able to make food because they need water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide |
| #5 | Give an example how an abiotic element interacts with biotic organisms in an ecosystem to help them. | Soil-nutrients, water/carbon dioxide/sunlight-making food, etc |
