- 17. A biological community of interacting populations of organisms and their physical environment.
- 18. A diagram that shows the transfer of food energy from one organism to the next organism

Down
- 1. The struggle between members of the same species or different species for limited resources
- 3. A type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits while the other is neither helped or harmed
- 4. The number of individuals per unit geographic area, for example, number per square meter.
- 8. A close long term of relationship between two organism of different species
- 9. An organism, such as a plant or algae, that uses photosynthesis to store energy (for their own consumption)
- 11. Any animals that feed on an herbivore or primary consumer
- 12. The role of an organism in an ecosystem
- 13. A type of symbiosis between two species of plants or animals in which one benefits at the expense of the other, sometimes without killing the host organism
- 16. Animals that eat primarily plants
