  1. 2. The study of organisms and their environment.
  2. 7. matter Any substance that has been made by a living organism
  3. 10. rot; organic substance can be decayed by microorganisms
  4. 11. An organism that cannot make its own food, and therefore relies on food made by plants; all animals and fungi are consumers.
  5. 12. A microscopic fungus
  6. 15. dish: A small, clear, round dish with a lid, used for growing microorganisms.
  7. 18. substance that living organisms can use to supply them with energy, or to help them grow.
  8. 20. A living organism so small that it can only be seen with a microscope.
  9. 22. a thick, clear substance made from seaweed, used for growing microorganisms.
  10. 23. An animal that catches, kills, and eats other animals.
  11. 24. Organisms made of a very small single cell, with a cell wall but no nucleus (singular: bacterium)
  12. 26. decay
  13. 27. Small, plant-like organisms that grow in or near water (singular: alga)
  14. 29. A diagram that shows how energy is transferred from one organism to another, in the form of food.

  1. 1. Made of only one cell
  2. 3. consumers that eat other animals.
  3. 4. Organisms such as mushrooms, toadstools, and yeast; they get their energy by decaying organic material (singular: fungus)
  4. 5. An organism that gets its energy by eating plants.
  5. 6. The first organism in a food change.
  6. 8. A group of bacteria or fungi, such as the ones growing on the surface of agar jelly.
  7. 9. An organism that decays dead plant and animal matter
  8. 13. Completely clean; free from bacteria and other organisms
  9. 14. organisms made of very small single cell, with a cell wall but no nucleus
  10. 16. A fungus with a round top and short stem.
  11. 17. microscopic fungi that are growing on organic matter
  12. 19. A fungus with a round top and narrow stem
  13. 21. A diagram showing many interconnecting food chains.
  14. 22. small, plant-like organisms that grow in or near water
  15. 23. An animal that is killed and eaten by a predator.
  16. 25. Very small, single-celled, animal-like organisms (singular: protozoan)
  17. 28. jelly: A thick, clear substance made from seaweed, used for growing microorganisms.
  18. 30. solid animal waste
  19. 31. a group of bacteria or fungi, such as the ones growing on the surface of agar jelly.
