Across
- 3. – Dense, wet terrestrial biome with high biodiversity.
- 4. – Organism that gets energy by eating other organisms.
- 6. – Consumer that eats strictly plants.
- 8. – Cold biome dominated by coniferous evergreen forests.
- 10. – Cold, treeless biome characterized by permanently frozen subsoil.
- 15. – Consumer that eats both plants and animals.
- 16. – Open biome dominated primarily by grasses rather than large trees.
- 17. – A group of organisms of different species interacting in an area.
- 18. – Water-based ecosystem such as ponds, rivers, or oceans.
- 21. – Decomposers alongside bacteria that release nutrients back to soil.
- 23. – Diagram showing interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem.
- 24. – Dry biome with extremely low annual rainfall.
- 25. – Cutting down trees, leading to habitat loss and reduced biodiversity.
Down
- 1. – Organism that creates its own food typically through photosynthesis.
- 2. – Organism that breaks down dead organic matter to recycle nutrients.
- 5. – Biome characterized by grassy plains and scattered trees.
- 7. – The global sum of all ecosystems; zone of life on Earth.
- 9. – Aquatic photosynthetic producer alongside green plants.
