Ecology & Energy Flow

3. A group of organisms that can reproduce to produce viable and fertile offspring.
6. A group of many organisms from different species that share a same habitat and interact with each other.
9. A type of ecological pyramid which can have many unusual shapes.
10. Movement of energy from the sun to the producers then to primary consumers, etc (two words).
12. Specific living area of a species.
13. Organisms that feed on non-living remnants of organisms as their method of nutrition.
15. A group of organisms from the same species that live in a same area at the same time.
16. Organisms that can only obtain organic molecules from other sources through feeding other organisms or parts of those organisms.
17. Organisms that feed on other dead organisms that had been killed by other predators.

1. Solar energy from the sun is converted to this form of potential energy by the producers (two words).
2. The offspring of two different species.
4. Mass of the living organisms.
5. Position of an organism within a food chain or food web (two words).
6. Organisms that feed on animal flesh.
7. Organisms that can produce their own food from inorganic molecules.
8. Organisms that feed on plants.
11. Organisms that release digestive enzyme to up take non-living organic matter for nutrition.
14. A structural and functional unit of ecology where the living organisms interact with each other and the surrounding environment.
