Producer
A decrease in the rabbit population
Decomposers
Consumers
Marine and Terrestrial Ecosystems
The stomach
To pass nutrients from digested food into the blood
The kidneys
Water, Carbon Dioxide, Light
To break down food into simple chemicals, so it can be used by individual cells in the body.
The circulatory system
To take blood to every cell in the body
To exchange gases in the atmosphere
To exchange gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) from the lungs and into the blood stream.
1. to transport oxygen to all of the cells in the body 2. to remove carbon dioxide and other waste products from the body 3. to transport nutrients to all the cells in the body
Response
A stimulus
Relexes
Aid in pollination, aid is seed dispersal, warn of bad taste, attract a mate, distract a predator, warn when danger is near.
Coordinating action from the brain to other parts of the body.

To break down organic litter into small pieces- to decompose organic waste into fine organic material (humus)
The sun
