3. Plant-eating consumers
5. A large naturally occurring community of plants and animals occupying a major habitat (e.g. forest or tundra)
7. Consumers that eat both plants and animals
10. Organisms that can make their own food (using sunlight, water, air, and nutrients)
11. Organisms too small to see with our naked eyes (e.g. bacteria)
12. meat-eating consumers
14. Is one organism (e.g. one cow)
16. Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight → Oxygen + Sugar
17. Consumers that eat dead plants or dead animals.
18. The interaction between biotic and abiotic features of an area
21. The non-living things in an ecosystem (e.g. water, sunlight)
