Biotic factors are all the living things in an ecosystem.

Abiotic factors are all the no-living things in an ecosystem.

Producer (What other name do we give it)

Producers are plants and animals that make their own food using photosynthesis. We also call them autotrophs.

Consumer (What other name do we give it)

Consumers are organisms that don't make their own food they eat producers or other organisms. We also call them heterotrophs.

A decomposer is an organism that breaks down dead organisms and returns the nutrients back into the soil.

An herbivore is an organism that eats only plants. They are primary consumers.

A carnivore is an organism that only eats meat.They can be secondary consumers or more.

An omnivore is an organism that eats both plants and animals. Like US!

A scavenger is an organism that eats dead plants or animals.

A food chain shows how matter and energy move through an ecosystem in a series of steps showing which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.

A food web is a model that shows all the feeding relationships at each trophic level in a community. (Links all food chains in an ecosystem together)

The sun gives energy to producers which then get eaten and pass on energy form the sun to the next organism and so on and so on.

An energy pyramid is a pyramid that shows how the energy is passed on from one animal to the other and how much is left.

Symbiosis is how organisms interact with each other.

Mutualism is when both organisms get a positive result because of the symbiosis,

Commensalism is when one organism comes out with a positive result but the other organism isn't affected at all because of the symbiosis.

Parasitism is when one organism gets a positive result and the other organism is harmed or dies because of the symbiotic relationship.

Predator is the organism that hunts the prey.

Prey is the organism that is hunted.
