CCMS Unit 6 Lesson 3 Sprial Review

The food manufacturing process in plants where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce food for themselves and waste for us.

• Chlorophyll

• photosynthesis

• producer

• decomposer

A substance found in leaves that makes a plant appear green and that captures energy from the sun during the day.

• decomposer

• chlorophyll

• producer

• consumer

Organisms that make their own food (plants)

• producer

• consumer

• decomposer

• photosynthesis

Organisms that cannot make their own food, they must consume, or eat, other organisms to get energy

• chlorophyll

• consumers

• decomposers

• producers

Organisms that break down, or decompose, wastes and the remains of dead organisms

• photosynthesis

• decomposers

• consumers

• producers

What is the primary source of energy for a producer?

• oxygen

• other organisms

• soil

• sunlight

What type of organisms take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as part of the process of photosynthesis?

• animals

• animals and plants

• plants

• decomposers

What is the most important cause of decomposition?

• bacteria and fungi

• scavengers

• consumers

• sunlight

What is needed for a plant to go through the process of photosynthesis?

• oxygen, sugar, water

• carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight

• sunlight, carbon dioxide, and oxygen

• water, sunlight, and sugar

What happens to a log that has fallen and has started decomposing?

• It will continue making food for itself.

• The materials making up the log will join and make more complex materials.

• The materials making up the log will begin to break down into smaller, simpler parts.

• The log will not change.
