Across
  1. 2. the variety of life in the world or a particular habitat or ecosystem.
  2. 4. a resource that can be used indefinitely because it is replenished through natural processes.
  3. 9. acquire energy from other organisms usually by eating them (consumers
  4. 10. the movement of individuals into a range from elsewhere
  5. 11. a series of predictable ecosystem changes over time especially after a disturbance, as new species move in, populations changes and some species die out
  6. 13. materials or things found in nature people use to live and meet there needs.
  7. 16. a measurement of how quickly humans use resources and generate waste in comparison to how quickly the environment can replenish those resources.
  8. 24. increase in the average global temperature
  9. 25. organisms that create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
  10. 27. each step in a food web
  11. 32. the movement of individuals out of population’s range
  12. 36. succession that begins on newly formed rock or other system that have no remnants of an older community
  13. 38. any harmful material created as a result of human activity and released into the environment
  14. 40. everything around you including all the living and nonliving things.
  15. 41. process by which organism that are most suited for their environment survive and reproduce most successfully
  16. 44. energy the power we get from the sun’s light and heat.
  17. 45. a species that plays a vital and unique role in maintaining the structure, stability and diversity in an ecosystem.
  18. 47. a group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area
  19. 48. human-altered biomes
  20. 49. selective breeding of plants or animals by humans to promote the occurrence of desirable traits
  21. 50. the first species to colonize a barren area
  22. 51. a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
  23. 52. heritable characteristics that increase an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in an environment
Down
  1. 1. a natural or human’s system’s ability to recover after a disturbance
  2. 3. the short-term change in temperature, precipitation, clouds and wind from day to day and minute to minute
  3. 5. organisms that obtain energy by eating other organisms
  4. 6. using energy form the sun to make oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates
  5. 7. all the parts of Earth which life exists
  6. 8. the actual place an organism lives
  7. 12. something getting bigger and bigger really fast. The number are multiplied not added.
  8. 14. the ability of an area to produce natural resources and absorb waste.
  9. 15. the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that a particular environment can support
  10. 17. a group of ecosystems that share similar climates and typical organisms
  11. 18. organisms that can capture energy from nonliving sources (sun) and converted from living cells can use
  12. 19. how well on organism can survive and reproduce in an environment
  13. 20. any non-native species whose introduction into an area causes or is likely to cause economic harm, environmental harm or harm to humans health
  14. 21. multiple food chains that show how energy and nutrients flow through different species.
  15. 22. the practice of meeting present day needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
  16. 23. after a disturbance the succession that happened when a community is not completely destroyed
  17. 26. the pattern and average of temperature, precipitation, clouds and wind over many years including the frequency of extreme weather events.
  18. 28. when two or more organisms vie for the same limited resources.
  19. 29. a series of organism when energy is transferred from one organism to another
  20. 30. the study of understanding the natural world and the impact humans have on it, aiming to find sustainable solutions to environmental problems like pollution and resource depletion.
  21. 31. natural resources that cannot be replaced quickly once their used.
  22. 33. the functional role, position, and space a species occupies within its ecosystem
  23. 34. all the different populations that live together in a defined area
  24. 35. a community of living and nonliving things that work together in one area.
  25. 37. any living part of the environment with which an organism might interact
