- 5. producer any green plant or any of various microorganisms that can convert light energy or chemical energy into organic matter.
- 6. relationship between two species of plants or animals in which one benefits at the expense of the other, sometimes without killing the host organism.
- 7. the division of resources to avoid interspecific competition for limited resources in an ecosystem.
- 9. association between organisms of two different species in which each benefits.
- 11. is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar
- 13. the process of reciprocal evolutionary change that occurs between pairs of species or among groups of species as they interact with one another.
- 14. the role an organism plays in a community.
- 16. - a close, prolonged association between two or more different biological species.
- 17. the ability to 'live with' or 'put up with' something has wide-ranging applications in engineering, and is strongly parallel to the notion of error bars in science.
- 19. an organism that eats plants and animals.
- 20. is an organism that survives on a diet of dead and decaying plant and animal matter.
Down
- 1. An organism, often a bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate that feeds on and breaks down dead plant or animal matter, making organic nutrients available to the ecosystem.
- 2. an organism that mostly feeds on plants.
- 3. the ecological process by which energy is transferred from living animal to living animal based on the behavior of a predator that captures and kills a prey before eating it.
- 4. the process by which cells derive energy from glucose.
- 8. as the biological production of organic compounds from one-carbon (C-1) compounds and nutrients using the energy generated by the oxidation of inorganic or C-1 organic molecules.
- 10. a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species obtains food or other benefits from the other without either harming or benefiting the latter.
- 12. a form of consumption in which an organism principally eats autotrophs such as plants, algae and photosynthesizing bacteria.
- 15. is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must eat other plants and/or animals to get energy.
- 18. an organism that mostly feeds on meat .
