Cellular Respiration in Ecosystems

What is cellular respiration?

• The process that organisms use to release energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

• The process that abiotic things use for energy.

• All the living and nonliving things interacting in a particular area.

• The process that organisms use to release oxygen, water, and energy.

Define ecosystem:

• All the living things interacting with each other.

• All the living and nonliving things interacting in a particular area.

• All the nonliving things interacting with each other.

• The ability to make things move or change.

Define energy storage molecule:

• the process by which plants use energy.

• when carbon, oxygen, and water combine in cells.

• a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy needed to survive.

• interacting parts to complete a whole.

Define abiotic matter:

• all of the nonliving parts of the ecosystem

• all of the living or once living parts of the ecosystem

Define biotic matter:

• all of the nonliving parts of an ecosystem

• all of the living or once living parts of an ecosystem

What is a producer?

• An organism that can make its own energy storage molecules using light energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

• An organism that can make its own energy storage molecules using light energy, oxygen, and water.

• An organism that can make its own energy storage molecules using energy, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.

• A nonliving part of the ecosystem.

What is a consumer?

• An organism that makes its own energy storage molecules.

• An organism that must consume energy storage molecules to grow and reproduce.

• An organism that makes its own glucose from light energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

• An example of a consumer is a mushroom.

What is a decomposer?

• An organism that uses light energy to make its own food.

• A snake is an example of a decomposer.

• An organism that is abiotic.

• An organism that gets its energy from breaking down dead matter.
