| 6421861747 | Population | A group of individuals of the same species living in the same area. |  | 0 |
| 6421861748 | Community | A group of populations living in the same area. |  | 1 |
| 6421861749 | Ecosystem | The interrelationships between the organisms in a community and their physical environment. |  | 2 |
| 6421861750 | Biosphere | It includes all the regions of the earth that contain living things. | 3 | |
| 6421861751 | Habitat | The type of place where it usually lives. It includes the other organisms that live there as well as the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment. |  | 4 |
| 6421861752 | Carrying Capacity | The maximum number of individuals of a population that can be sustained by a particular habitat. | 5 | |
| 6421861753 | Limiting Factors | Elements that prevent a population from attaining its biotic potential. | 6 | |
| 6421861754 | Abiotic Factors | factors are the non-living parts of an organism's habitat. Soil, Water, Air, Temperature, and Sunlight. | 7 | |
| 6421861755 | Biotic Factors | The living parts of an ecosystem. Usually include: producer, consumers, decomposers, and human influence. | 8 | |
| 6421861756 | Mutualism | A relationship between two species in which both species benefit. |  | 9 |
| 6421861757 | Primary Producers | They convert solar energy into a form that can be used by the rest of the community. Aka autotrophs. |  | 10 |
| 6421861758 | Heterotrophs | Species that obtain energy by breaking apart organic compounds that have been assembled by other organisms. (Herbivores) | 11 | |
| 6421861759 | Primary Consumers | Heterotrophs that dine on primary producers... aka herbivores. | 12 | |
| 6421861760 | Secondary Consumers | Primary carnivores... those that consume herbivores. |  | 13 |
| 6421861761 | Tertiary Consumers | Those that consume secondary consumers |  | 14 |
| 6421861762 | Trophic Levels | The feeding positions: primary producers and primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. A group of organisms united by obtaining their energy from the same part of the food web. | 15 | |
| 6421861763 | Omnivores | They feed on both plants and animals. (feed from multiple trophic levels.) |  | 16 |
| 6421861764 | Decomposers | Feed on waste products or dead bodies of organisms... Largely responsible for the recycling of materials within ecosystems. They break down organic matter into inorganic components that primary producers can absorb. |  | 17 |
| 6421861765 | commensalism | A symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is unaffected |  | 18 |
| 6421861766 | Parasitism | A symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed |  | 19 |
| 6421861767 | Herbivores | Consumers that eat only plants |  | 20 |
| 6421861768 | Carnivores | Consumers that eat only animals |  | 21 |
| 6421861769 | transpiration | evaporation of water from a plant | 22 |
