What is a decomposer?

Back

A decomposer is an organism that breaks down dead organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.

Front

What process do plants use to convert sunlight into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

Define a biome.

Back

A biome is a regional type of ecosystem characterized by a particular climate and plant community.

Front

What is the role of ATP in living organisms?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is a scavenger?

Back

A scavenger is an organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter, such as a vulture.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the difference between a habitat and a biome?

Back

A habitat is the specific environment where an organism lives, while a biome is a larger ecological area with similar climate and vegetation.

Front

What are primary producers?

Back

Primary producers are organisms, like plants and algae, that produce their own food through photosynthesis and form the base of the food chain.

Front

What is the significance of decomposers in an ecosystem?

Back

Decomposers play a crucial role in breaking down dead matter and recycling nutrients, which supports plant growth and maintains ecosystem health.

Front

What is the energy flow in an ecosystem?

Back

Energy flows through an ecosystem from primary producers to consumers and then to decomposers, following the food chain.
