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

- 1. Made of only one cell
- 3. consumers that eat other animals.

- 6. The first organism in a food change.
- 8. A group of bacteria or fungi, such as the ones growing on the surface of agar jelly.
- 9. An organism that decays dead plant and animal matter
- 13. Completely clean; free from bacteria and other organisms
- 14. organisms made of very small single cell, with a cell wall but no nucleus
- 16. A fungus with a round top and short stem.
- 17. microscopic fungi that are growing on organic matter
- 19. A fungus with a round top and narrow stem
- 21. A diagram showing many interconnecting food chains.
- 22. small, plant-like organisms that grow in or near water
- 23. An animal that is killed and eaten by a predator.
- 25. Very small, single-celled, animal-like organisms (singular: protozoan)
- 28. jelly: A thick, clear substance made from seaweed, used for growing microorganisms.
- 30. solid animal waste
