        Help!  

Term
Definition
show Energy path from 1 organism to another showing a linked series; feeds on the 1 next to it in the series.  
🗑
show Overlapping food chains with different pathways for the flow of food energy in an ecosystem.  
🗑
OMNIVORE   show
🗑
DETRITAL FOOD WEB   show
🗑
show Organisms that transform energy from the Sun & use carbon dioxide & water to make food.  
🗑
CONSUMER   show
🗑
show Animals that only eat plants or plant products; "HERB-" = PLANT.  
🗑
CARNIVORE   show
🗑
PRIMARY CONSUMERS   show
🗑
show Organisms that get their energy by feeding on primary consumers (herbivores) in the food chain.  
🗑
show Organisms that get their energy by eating secondary consumers.  
🗑
show Organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the remains of dead plants & animals, without need for internal digestion.  
🗑
show Any class of organisms occupying the same position in a food chain, such as primary consumers or secondary consumers; "TROPH-" = NOURISH.

show Change of energy from 1 form to another.  
🗑
CHEMICAL ENERGY   show

show Process of breaking down food into component molecules that can be absorbed into the body & used for energy & nutrients.  
🗑
show Sum of the potential & kinetic energy of an object.  
🗑
show Total kinetic (motion) energy of tiny particles that make up matter - the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes.  
🗑
show Energy transferred between 2 objects of different temperatures, moving continually in a predictable pattern from warmer site to cooler site until all sites have reached the same temperature.
