for energy
An animal that eats only plants for energy
An animal that eats other animals for energy
An animal that eats plants and animals for
energy
An organism that breaks down wastes and
dead organisms and returns the raw

Energy
The process in which plants use water
(abiotic) and carbon dioxide (abiotic) to
make food (glucose) and give off oxygen
(abiotic) for animals to breathe
6H2O + 6 CO2 yields with light energy from
the sun C6H12O6 + 6O2
The process in which plants and animals use
oxygen and stored energy from glucose to
live and grow. Carbon dioxide and water is
released.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields with chemical energy
from glucose 6H2O + 6 CO2
A series of events (as in links of a chain) in
which one organism eats another organism
(including a producer, first and second level
consumers and decomposers).

ecosystem
Quiz yourself or have someone quiz you.
 First: Look at the front and explain the information on the back.
 Second: Read the back of each card. Can you name the word(s) on the front?
Make up a matching test for yourself.
 Fold a piece of paper in half the long way.
 Write the answers from the back of the card on the left side of the paper, skipping lines between answers. Number these answers.


Write the words from the front of the card on the right side of a piece of paper next to each numbered answer that you wrote on the
left side. Put a letter next to each word. (Write the words randomly so the word is not next to the answer.)
Draw a line to match the answer to the word.
