26. Ecology Vocabulary
WRITE THE ONES
YOU DO NOT HAVE!!!

27. 1.Producer- obtain energy from sun (ex. Plants, algae, bacteria)
2.Consumer- obtain energy from other organisms (plants & animals)
3.Primary consumer- obtain energy by eating plants (zebra)
4.Secondary consumer- obtain energy by eating animals & even sometimes plants. (ex. Bear, lion)
5.Decomposer- decay organisms and recycle their nutrients back into the environment. (ex. Bacteria and fungi)
6.Trophic levels- how energy moves through an ecosystem
7.Autotroph- organisms that use light energy to make organic compounds. (plants, algae, and bacteria)
8.Heterotroph- organisms that get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight. (ex. Humans, lions, fish)
9. Carnivores- eat only meat for energy
10.Omnivores- eat both meat and plant for energy
11.Herbivores- eat only plants for energy
12.Detritivores- organisms that obtain their energy from the wastes left by other organisms & dead bodies of the ecosystem (ex. worms, fungi, & vultures)
13.Scavengers- obtain energy from dead or dying organisms
