10. The parts of an experiment that do not change.
11. An area where an organism lives (example: savannah, grasslands, swamp).
12. The processes by which organisms get energy from other organisms in food chain.

17. An animal that eats both plants and animals.
18. An organism that obtains energy by eating other organisms (we are consumers).

1. The part of an experiment that changes.
2. An animal that ONLY eats plants. Organisms that obtains energy ONLY from producers.
3. The pattern of overlapping food chains in an ecosystem. A model of feeding relationships in an environment.
6. The energy of movement.
