Across
  1. 4. Cycle What happens to Nitrogen (recognize the picture!)
  2. 5. consumer eats a tertiary (3rd) consumer
  3. 6. the process of burning fossil fuels, such as oil and coal
  4. 7. Anywhere life exists in the world
  5. 9. the maximum number of organisms an area can support (long-term)
  6. 11. eats a primary (1st) consumer
  7. 15. both organisms benefit
  8. 17. Sudden increase of nutrients in an ecosystem
  9. 18. A group of individuals in the same species that live together in the same area
  10. 19. combustion, (cellular) respiration, and decomposition
  11. 21. recognize the picture for this cycle
  12. 22. starts with the producers because they get their energy directly from the sun
  13. 23. one organism benefits, the other is harmed
  14. 24. water turns from a liquid to a gas, usually with the sun's help
  15. 25. examples of carbon sources burned during combustion
  16. 26. A community plus the abiotic factors
  17. 28. evaporation off the leaves of trees
  18. 29. organisms rely on the same food source
  19. 31. sun--> producer --> herbivore --> carnivore --> scavenger --> decomposer
  20. 33. help recycle the nutrients in an ecosystem
  21. 34. one organism benefits, the other is killed
  22. 35. An area where fresh water from streams and rivers spills into the ocean and meets salty ocean water
Down
  1. 1. one of the ways Nitrogen gets out of the air (hint: storm)
  2. 2. the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an area of land, a building or structure, etc.
  3. 3. eats 1st, so eats producers (herbivores)
  4. 8. one of the ways Nitrogen gets out of the air (hint: NOT storm)
  5. 10. eats a secondary (2nd) consumer
  6. 12. a close, long-term relationship between 2 species
  7. 13. one reason invasive species become invasive
  8. 14. study of the interactions between organisms and their environ-ment
  9. 16. The role an individual species plays within its community; an organism's way of life and its relationships with its abiotic and biotic environments.
  10. 20. snow, rain, hail, sleet, etc. that falls to the ground
  11. 27. one organism benefits, the other is neither helped nor harmed
  12. 30. Populations of different species that live and interact in an area
  13. 32. which level has the most available energy in an ecosystem
